Intimate area · MunichBikini line and intimate area,
calm and without fuss.

Bikini line or the complete intimate area

The two terms mean different things, and the difference decides your plan. The bikini line is the edge: the line that shows around underwear or a swimsuit, plus a strip beyond it. The complete intimate area includes the pubic area, the labia and, if you wish, the buttock crease.

Both can be combined or approached step by step. Many people start with the bikini line and extend later. Where the surface ends is agreed at the first appointment, so no hard transition appears.

Buttocks and buttock crease

We treat the buttocks and the buttock crease for women and men, on their own or together with the intimate area. The crease in particular is almost impossible to shave yourself, and irritated spots or ingrown hairs are especially bothersome there. When the hair stays away, both go away.

The skin is sensitive here too. That is why we work in small sections, cool before every pulse and cover whatever is not being treated. Where the area ends is agreed at the first appointment.

Why this area is different

The skin here is thinner and more sensitive than on arms or legs, while the hair is stronger and denser. That combination makes the area rewarding for the laser and more demanding in its settings. We work in smaller sections and adjust the energy step by step.

The most common reason to come is not stubble but what follows it: ingrown hairs, razor burn and irritated spots after shaving or waxing. Once the hair stays away, that reason goes with it.

How the treatment works

It starts with the free trial treatment on a small spot. You feel what a pulse is like, we see how your skin reacts. During the session everything that is not being treated stays covered.

Before every pulse a burst of cold protects the skin. Most people describe the feeling in this area as more noticeable than on arms or legs, but manageable, and more pleasant than waxing. As a rule 6 to 8 sessions are needed, 4 to 8 weeks apart, because only hair in the active growth phase is reached.

Before and after a session

Shave the area before the appointment. The laser needs the root in the skin, and waxing or plucking takes it out.

How long to leave out wax, plucking, sun and self tanner beforehand depends on your skin and on the season. Tanned skin absorbs a lot of light itself, so we look at it before every session. You do not get a list of prohibitions, you get advice that fits you.

After the session the skin is briefly irritated, often slightly red, and that usually settles within a few hours. Whether to wait a few days with sauna, swimming pool, sport or sun is something Magdalena tells you afterwards, depending on how your skin reacted. You may shave between appointments at any time.

Treatment during menstruation is possible. The skin can be more sensitive on those days. Just tell us, and we adjust the settings or move the appointment.

Who it suits, and where the limit is

Our device has two wavelengths, 755 nanometre alexandrite and 1064 nanometre Nd:YAG. Almost all skin and hair types can be treated, including darker skin tones. White, grey and very light blond hairs cannot be treated, because the pigment is missing.

We do not laser over tattoos, and prominent pigmented moles are covered. During pregnancy and breastfeeding we postpone treatment. If the skin in the area is acutely irritated we wait until it has calmed down. Medication that makes the skin sensitive to light belongs in the conversation beforehand.

What intimate area laser hair removal costs

The price follows the area and the time. Whether bikini line or the complete intimate area, on request with buttocks and crease: the chosen area determines the time and so the price. Skin and hair play a part too: dark, strong hair on light skin absorbs the light best and needs the fewest sessions. As a rule it is 6 to 8.

What you pay is fixed in writing after the free trial treatment, before the first treatment begins. Nothing is added that was not discussed. On request the course can be paid in instalments, and after the course you get up to two free follow-up treatments within 24 months. What the price depends on in detail is explained on Prices.

Frequently asked questions about the intimate area

What does it cost to have the intimate area lasered?

That depends on the area, on skin and hair and on the number of sessions. It is fixed in writing after the free trial treatment. More on Prices.

What is the difference between bikini line and intimate area?

The bikini line is the visible edge plus a strip beyond it. The complete intimate area includes the pubic area, the labia and, if you wish, the buttock crease. You decide what is treated.

How many sessions are needed?

As a rule 6 to 8, 4 to 8 weeks apart. The hair in this area is strong and responds well. How many appointments it will be for you we tell you after the free trial treatment.

Does it hurt more in this area?

The area is more sensitive than arms or legs, and you notice that. Before every pulse a burst of cold protects the skin, and we work in small sections. Most people find it clearly more pleasant than waxing. No laser treatment is pain free.

Can the buttocks and the crease be lasered too?

Yes, for women and men, on their own or together with the intimate area. As a rule it is 6 to 8 sessions, as with the other areas.

Are men treated in the same way?

Yes. The procedure, the preparation and the aftercare are the same. Hair is often denser in men, which can affect the number of sessions.

How private is the treatment?

You are alone with Magdalena Graml in a closed room. Everything that is not being treated stays covered. Questions about which parts are included are settled in the conversation beforehand, not in between.

What should I bear in mind before a session?

Please do not pluck or wax beforehand – the laser needs the hair root. In the week before, no sunbed, no self-tanner and no long sunbathing.

When will I see a first result?

About 14 days after the first session, many treated hairs fall out by themselves. With every further session, hair density decreases.

What is normal after a session?

A slight redness or a mild feeling of warmth – both fade quickly. Afterwards, the treated areas need consistent sun protection with SPF 50.

What your treatment includes and what it costs is something we settle after the trial treatment. What the price depends on is explained on the page Prices. Directions and opening hours are on Contact and directions.
