Brazilian hair removal is one of the most popular hair removal methods in the intimate area. Although this topic may seem embarrassing to some, it is worth talking about, because the effects of Brazilian hair removal are extremely popular. What exactly does "Brazilian" mean? How does the procedure work and is it worth deciding on? Let's take a closer look.

What is Brazilian hair removal? 

Brazilian hair removal involves the complete or almost complete removal of hair from intimate areas (bikini area, pubic area, labia, space between the buttocks). During this process, a small strip or other pattern can be left if the client so chooses. The name of this method comes from Brazil, where wearing skimpy bikinis required perfectly smooth skin. It gained popularity in Poland a dozen or so years ago and is now a standard choice in beauty salons.

How is the procedure performed?

The Brazilian hair removal procedure is relatively quick, but requires proper preparation. Soft wax (with strips), hard wax (without strips) or sugar paste are most commonly used, although it is also possible to use a laser for permanent hair removal.

1. Preparation: Proper skin preparation is the key here. The beautician cleans and disinfects the treatment area to avoid irritation and infection. The hair should be about 0.5–1 cm long so that the wax can catch it properly.
2. Wax or  sugar paste application: The hard wax is heated to the right temperature and then applied to the skin in the direction of hair growth. Once it hardens, it is quickly removed with a quick, vigorous movement against the direction of growth. Sugar paste works the opposite way - it is removed in the direction of hair growth, which minimizes the risk of ingrowns.
3. Hair removal: The hair is removed along with their follicles, so it grows back slower and thinner. The treatment usually starts from the bikini area, gradually moving deeper into more intimate areas
4. Finish: After the depilation is finished, the skin is cleansed and soothed again using special cosmetics.

Does Brazilian depilation hurt?

There is no denying that Brazilian hair removal can be painful, especially during the first treatment. However, over time the skin gets used to it and the pain becomes less noticeable. A lot also depends on the method of hair removal - wax can be more painful than sugar paste. It is also important to choose an experienced specialist who will carry out the treatment efficiently and minimize discomfort. This depends on the individual pain threshold. Regular treatments and the use of good quality products can significantly reduce discomfort.

Brazilian Hair Removal Effects

The biggest advantage of this method is its long-lasting smoothness. The effects last up to 4-6 weeks, making it an ideal solution for holidays or other special occasions. After regular treatments, the hair becomes thinner and sparser, which further improves comfort. Additionally, smooth skin in the intimate area improves hygiene and allows you to feel more comfortable.

Post-treatment tips

To keep your skin in great condition, it is worth following a few rules:

• Avoid sunbathing and hot baths for the first 24 hours after depilation.
• Moisturize your skin regularly to prevent drying.
• Exfoliate your intimate area gently to prevent ingrown hairs.

Is Brazilian hair removal worth it?

In our opinion, it's worth it! Although the initial discomfort may be off-putting, the effects are to die for. Many women believe that after Brazilian hair removal they feel more confident and well-groomed. They also praise the long-lasting effect of smooth skin without the need for frequent shaving and the risk of irritation. Of course, each of us has different preferences, so it's worth trying and assessing for yourself whether this method is right for you.
