Bikini line laser hair removal in Munich

Bikini line, intimate area or full intimate area – what is the difference?

Three levels, and they differ by just a few centimetres. Take a quick look before you book – upgrading at the appointment is easier than the other way round.

The buttock crease and the buttocks are separate areas. Full intimate area includes the buttock crease; the buttocks are not included in any of the three levels.

How the appointment works

You shave the area the day before or that morning – the hair should sit in the skin but not stick out above it. At the studio you are alone in the room with the person treating you, and the door is closed. Depending on the level you have booked, you get disposable briefs or keep your own underwear on. The skin is cleansed, you get protective goggles, and the cooled handpiece is passed over the area several times. After about twenty minutes you are done.

What helps against ingrown hairs and razor burn?

For many people this, not the look, is the real reason for the treatment. Less hair means fewer hairs that can grow in, and no shaving means no razor bumps. In all honesty, though: laser hair removal is not a therapy for hairs that are already ingrown and not a treatment for folliculitis – it removes the cause step by step. If you have been shaving every few days, you will usually notice the difference after the second or third session.

Is the treatment painful?

The bikini line is more sensitive than the legs and underarms and considerably less sensitive than the inner intimate area. What you feel is a warm, slightly prickling tingle; thanks to the cooled handpiece and the gliding technique, it stays at that. If you have been having this area waxed, you will clearly notice the difference.

Who the treatment is suitable for – and who it is not

Well suited to dark, coarse hair. Not effective, or only partly effective, on light blonde, red, grey or white hair. We do not treat if you are taking photosensitising medication, have light-induced dermatoses, an acute skin condition or a fresh tan in the area, or during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Moles are left out.

Preparation and aftercare

The device: Alma Soprano ICE Platinum

Three wavelengths at once from a single handpiece – 755, 810 and 1064 nm – plus contact cooling that keeps the skin surface at around 25 °C during the treatment. The handpiece is glided over the skin instead of being placed pulse by pulse. How this works in detail is explained on the device page.

MOOD Beauty on Theresienstraße

We are a studio in Munich’s Maxvorstadt, a few minutes from the university and Königsplatz. Besides laser hair removal, we work with permanent make-up, nails, lashes, facials and massage – many of our clients come to us regularly anyway and have the laser treatment in the same appointment.

Laser treatments take place in a separate room of their own. We give appointments one at a time, with no waiting-room bustle and no sales pitch: you get an honest assessment of how many sessions your area is likely to need – even if the answer is that the treatment is not worth it for your hair type.

¹ Permanent hair reduction requires several treatments, depending on the body area and the individual hair and skin type. Success cannot be guaranteed, even when the treatment is carried out professionally. On light, red, grey or white hair, the treatment is ineffective or only partially effective.
