Brazilian laser hair removal uses light beams to target hair follicles in the pubic area. It requires multiple sessions for full results. Before treatment, hair is shaved and skin should be free of sun damage. After treatment, expect redness, warmth, and hair shedding within 5-14 days. Full results appear after 6-8 sessions over several months. Proper prep and aftercare improve outcomes.
