Take the hassle out of shaving with bikini laser hair removal
Medically reviewed by: Charlotte Lundy, Nurse Trainer, 1st July 2023. Next review July 2024
Whether you’re getting ready for the summer or want a long term, time and cost-saving solution to removing bikini line hair, a course of laser hair removal at sk:n could be the answer.
Laser hair removal is the most effective, long-lasting method of permanent hair reduction. Hair will become finer and softer, and the growth will slow with each treatment.
At sk:n, we offer bikini, Brazilian and Hollywood packages on their own, or bundled together with other commonly treated areas such as under arms and legs, which is better value for money and time-saving too.
We also offer bikini line treatments for men too, the perfect solution to help keep you smoother for longer.
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal uses brief pulses of light energy to damage or destroy the root of each individual hair follicle, which restricts the ability to regrow. This process is called photothermolysis. The hair follicle must be targeted at a specific time during its growth cycle (the anagen phase) to prevent the hair from returning.
How effective is laser hair removal on the bikini area?
The hair follicle must be targeted at a specific time during its growth cycle to prevent the hair from returning (the anagen phase, where the hair is attached to the bulb). As individual hairs could be in different parts of the hair growth cycle at any one time (around 10-20%), you will need several sessions to see long-lasting results. We usually recommend around 8 appointments spaced 4-6 weeks apart – some clients may need a few less or more, but it depends on your hair and skin type, and whether the hair has been targeted at the correct growth phase.
What are the benefits of laser hair removal?
- Reduces hair growth, permanently – We recommend a minimum of 8 sessions. If you have the recommended number of treatments for your hair and skin type, you’ll see up to 90% hair reduction. Any hair that does grow back will be much finer and will grow back less frequently, which means smoother skin for longer.
- No more ingrown hairs – You won’t need to shave as frequently, minimising rashes or brittle stubble, and less waxing will also result in fewer ingrown hairs too
- Money and time saving – The average female spends £6500 on razors and 8 weeks of her life shaving, so laser hair removal is a worthwhile long-term investment.
- Improved skin tone and texture – Repeatedly shaving or waxing an area can cause skin pigmentation and uneven skin tone. Laser hair removal reduces the risk of this happening.
- A positive impact on the planet – The average woman in her lifetime throws away 2400 razors, and every year, approximately 2 billion razors end up in landfill as they cannot be recycled. Switching to laser hair removal will dramatically reduce that negative impact on our planet.

Frequently asked questions
How long does laser hair removal take on the bikini area?
Each session lasts from around 15 minutes and can take longer, depending on the size of the area treated.
How many sessions do I need for bikini laser hair removal?
Each full body laser hair removal session could take between 2 and 3 hours, depending on your gender and the size of the area that is being treated.
How many sessions do I need for full body laser hair removal?
At sk:n we usually recommend a course of treatment for the best results. Your laser practitioner will assess how many treatments you need during your free consultation.
How much does laser hair removal cost for the bikini line cost?
Prices for bikini laser hair removal start from £137, but your package cost will be confirmed during your consultation. We do have offers running from time to time, so discuss with your practitioner during your consultation.
How painful is bikini laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is described as feeling like the flick of an elastic band across your body, with the area sometimes feeling a little warm. This is why our lasers are fitted with a cooling device that cools the skin, and minimises discomfort during treatment.
Is bikini laser hair removal permanent?
There is no way to completely remove all unwanted hair permanently – but laser hair removal does give permanent reduction, provided the hair has enough pigment to attract the laser. Even when the hair follicle is damaged or destroyed via laser treatment, hormonal changes can cause new follicles to develop, meaning hair will grow in that area. Laser hair removal is one of the most effective and longest-lasting solutions for hair removal as it targets the individual follicles to damage or destroy the root.
Most of our clients see permanent reduction of up to 90%, and results are dependent on hair type and colour. You may need a top-up course of 3 treatments in future, but many clients never require further treatment.
Is full body laser hair removal safe?
The lasers used for hair removal are very powerful, so it’s extremely important for your safety that you choose a provider like sk:n who is monitored by the Care Quality Commission, and has strict clinical, training and safety protocols. This means the practitioner carrying out the treatment has met minimum training requirements and that the clinic achieves important health, safety and hygiene standards.
sk:n has treated millions of clients over 30 years, so you can be sure you’re in the best hands with us. Read The ultimate guide to laser hair removal for more information about our laser hair removal practitioners training and expertise.
Is laser hair removal suitable for darker skin?
Yes. Laser hair treatment is fine for any skin type or colour, as long as your hairs are dark enough to attract the laser.
Is it better to wax or have laser hair removal on your bikini area?
Waxing regularly and over long periods of time can be temporarily effective, but can cause damage such as darkening and lightening of the skin (hyper and hypo pigmentation), irritate the sensitive area, and lead to ingrown hairs which can lead to scarring. As laser hair removal permanently reduces the thickness and growth of the hairs and isn’t abrasive to the skin, it doesn’t have any detrimental effects to the skin’s tone and texture. Plus, after a course of treatment, the hair is reduced in thickness, darkness and amount, and therefore the need to regularly remove the hair is massively reduced.
What happens after full body laser hair removal?
The laser targets only the hair follicle, leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. You may experience some redness, but this should subside within 24 hours. You should avoid sun exposure after treatment as the area will be more sensitive and more susceptible to sun damage, and always use SPF if you are going to expose the area!
