The duration of one procedure depends on the site. For example, hair removal on the upper lip – 10 minutes and you will be free to go, but laser hair removal on a leg – up to 2 hours, short-duration laser hair removal in the bikini area – just up to 30 minutes.

Careless attitude can lead to consequences – burns, irritation, and hypopigmentation (white spots). When you are interested in deep hair removal in the bikini area, the choice of professional and clinic should be particularly responsibly. After all, the skin in this area is very tender and the risk of injury from unqualified procedure is much higher.
