Will hair in my bikini line area grow back?

Laser hair removal is not a permanent means of hair removal; however it is effective and will leave you with a smooth and desirable finish. You may need multiple treatments of our non-invasive laser therapy depending on things such as the coarseness of your hair in order to insure a smooth bikini line year round. These treatments will be spaced apart by 8-12 months.

What average costs are associated with bikini line laser hair removal treatments?

The pricing for laser hair removal depends on different factors such as amount of hair growth, the area being treated, laser being used and risk factors such as lesions or tattoos that could slow a procedure down. On average, the price will be around $1,600. To be sure call our staff at Island Dermatology for a custom price consultation.

The bikini area is a very sensitive area; however our staff at Island Dermatology will apply a topical anesthetic to the area before the laser hair removal treatment to ease any discomfort.
