During treatments for a Brazilian laser hair removal can you be sexually active?

Question

or are you not able to and have to wait until the treatments are done?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

You may have some tenderness, but you can have sex after your treatment. Keep in mind, it will take a series of laser hair removal treatments. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. After getting laser hair removal of the bikini area, you may experience some swelling and lingering redness due to the sensitivity of this region. If you engage in sexual intimacy before waiting for the irritation to fade, you may irritate the area even more and cause swelling to increase. I recommend you wait a minimum of 24 hours or until all irritation has gone away before resuming intimacy.

Reza Tirgari, MD · Answer

Like with any laser treatment, we tell people to expect the same redness as prolonged sun exposure.  The skin will feel red and maybe mildly irritated in some cases, so we recommend against saunas, jacuzzi's, massage over the treated area, etc.
I would give yourself at least a day or so afterwards to avoid skin irritation.

Thanks for you question.  The entire treatment cycle will last 6 to 9 months.  You should have plenty of time for extracurricular activities.  The area may be sensitive for a couple of days after treatment and feel like a sunburn.  You may want to avoid friction for a couple of days, but it is really up to the individual and their comfort/discomfort level.  Have fun and best of luck.

there is no reason you cannot but you might be sensitive in the area at least initially with each treatment ... but you can ask about your specific treatment as there are several different lasers that remove hair
