IPL Bikini Area Hair Removal: Effective, Safe and Convenient at Home

A smooth and hair-free intimate area is desirable for many people, as it can be a real boost for their well-being and self-confidence. That said, with so many different hair removal methods available, it can be difficult to find the right one for you. Using IPL hair removal for intimate body parts is an effective and safe method that can be carried out from the comfort of your own home. Even better, it delivers long-lasting, silky-smooth results from the 1st use¹.

Long-lasting hair removal in the genital area: The biggest advantage of IPL hair removal in the genital area is the ability to remove unwanted hair for a long time. Unlike other methods - such as shaving or waxing, where hair grows back after a short time - IPL hair removal offers a long-lasting solution. The light pulses from the device act on the hair follicles, stopping them from growing back.

IPL in the intimate area - safe and painless: Many people have concerns when it comes to using IPL in their intimate areas. The Braun IPL devices have an attachment and various modes that have been specially designed for sensitive areas such as intimate body parts. These modes are particularly gentle on the skin and, unlike waxing or sugaring, cause very little sensation. In fact, using one feels a bit like snapping a taut rubber band over your skin.

Goodbye ingrown hairs: Ingrown hairs are a common problem with shaving, waxing or sugaring - not so with IPL. No ingrown hairs should be expected after hair removal with the Braun IPL. As it is a long-lasting hair removal method, the problem of ingrown hairs is also reduced over time.

For men and women: Of course, both women and men can benefit from the long-lasting results of IPL hair removal.

Convenient hair removal at home: Another major advantage of intimate area IPL hair removal is the ability to do it from the comfort of your own home. This saves time and money as you don't need an expensive salon visit. With the Braun IPL series, you can carry out treatments according to your own schedule preference and without having to make an appointment.

The new Skin i·expert IPL line simplifies operation for owners thanks to an app that creates a personalized IPL treatment plan for them. After checking the skin tone and compatibility with IPL, a treatment can be carried out with ease. This personalised plan is based on the hair colour, hair density and, crucially, the area of the body where the treatment is to be carried out. Moreover, the app helps you to stick to the weekly treatment schedules and follow-up treatments and suggests the optimum settings and attachments each time.

When you learn how to use IPL hair removal on bikini area and intimate body parts properly, it yields simple and effective results. Can you use IPL on labia and other sensitive body parts, though? Well, the bikini line, the mons pubis and the outer labia can be treated using the precision attachment provided or long-lasting results. Internal body parts, such as the inner labia, should be left out, however. Here are the steps you should follow:

• Preparation: Before an IPL hair removal treatment, it is important to cleanse and shave the skin in the intimate area and ensure that it is free of creams, lotions or oils. This allows the light to be absorbed by the hair follicles effectively. IPL hair removal can be used on the bikini line, the crotch and the intergluteal sulcus (bum cheeks), as well as the anus.

• Custom settings: Our Braun IPL devices have different intensity levels. Always start with the lowest setting and increase the intensity as you progress to meet your requirements. Thanks to Braun SkinPro technology, the intensity of the flashes is auto-adjusted to your skin tone using a sensor.

• Carry out the treatment: Place the IPL device on your skin so it emits a light pulse. Move the device slowly over your intimate area, taking care not to miss anywhere. Repeat the process every week until the desired results are achieved. After that, carry out a treatment every one to two months, depending on your level of hair regrowth.

• Skin care: After a treatment, you should soothe and moisturize your skin. Use soothing lotions or gels to avoid potential irritation.

IPL in the genital area is generally suitable for most people - regardless of their gender. However, it is important to note that IPL treatment is most effective on dark hair with light skin as the emitted light is better absorbed. People with very light or grey hair may not achieve the same results.

Pregnant women, breastfeeding women and people with certain skin conditions are advised to consult a doctor before undergoing IPL hair removal in the genital area. It is also important to test the device on a small area of skin first to ensure no adverse reactions occur. An IPL device cannot be used on tattooed skin.

The Braun intense pulsed light (IPL) devices have been specially designed for the needs of sensitive skin and enables long-lasting hair-free results, even in the genital area. IPL hair removal from Braun offers numerous advantages over salon treatments with just as professional results. Give yourself the gift of well-being, something that will offer you a confident and strident appearance, by trying IPL hair removal in your most intimate area!
