here’s a few pics, sorry for the bad lighting and shadowing. I paid for a year of the ‘Brazilian’ laser hair removal so there is no hair near the scar (or anywhere else for that matter) and I love it :)

Thanks, when you pay for hair removal you get a few choices, bikini removed all the hair on the edges, Brazilian removes ALL the hair front to back and in every crease .. everywhere :D

I’m need of input: Brazilian or no?

I’ll be 3 years on the 12th, but I’m posting a few pics today because I need some input on my hair / scar problem lol. I paid for a years worth of Brazilian laser hair removal and I’ve had 2 sessions so far. At first I asked her to leave a small patch of hair on the front and she said she would, but that if I decided I wanted the Brazilian she will do that at any time and we could take it all off. EVERYTHING else got lasered off. (If you want more details about how that felt or what the appointment was like just ask, I’ll answer any questions, I’m not shy lol) So today I went ahead and shaved everything off to see how it feels for the next couple weeks and I’m hoping to get some input from all you ladies on what I should do. It’s like a damn war zone down there. First off, I have a long crooked stretch mark that runs just to the side offcenter and it ruins any shape I try to make with the hair so I thought just a natural round-ish kinda shape would be ok, and I’ll try to just pretend like the scar doesn’t exist, but nothing seems to look normal And then there’s the little white scar spots where the drain tubes came out and where the stitches held them in place during recovery. It’s all just a huge mess and not pretty at all....
so RS friends, I apologize for asking, but please look at the photos and tell me what you would do if you were me.

From the pics, I think it looks better with no hair. Is a scar revision possible for that vertical scar? I personally like a little hair down there but I had everything else lasered off. I say laser off all the hair and then get a cool tattoo :)

Haha it’s funny you mentioned the tattoo cause I was looking at getting one yesterday, something sweet and delicate not too overbearing. Just enough to make that area a little more pretty (if that’s possible) and thank you for your input :)

I have the Brazilian with a landing strip (slightly less hair than you). I keep it for comfort (a buffer) if you know what I mean.

I told my hubs that I thought I’d need a buffer, but I’ve been shaved for several days now and it doesn’t seem to be a problem ;)

I think it looks good either way, but I prefer it hairless.

I have the same issue... I prefer the landing strip myself because the scarring bothers me so much.

Brazilian laser treatment question

User Avatar
EnjoyingLife
What’s everyone’s opinion on a Brazilian wax? Or laser hair removal? I got my underarms lasered and I now don’t have to shave that area anymore :D and I have the opportunity to get the Brazilian laser treatment I’m that area and I’m not sure I want it all gone?! Lol, is that weird? Help me out ladies. Pro’s and cons if you’ve had a Brazilian treatment in that area. By the way, my main concern is the fact that my scar meets my pubic hair line now and I want that area cleaned up a bit. And of course I want the sides lasered so I don’t have to worry about that area during bikini months. Let me know what yalls opinions are. Go full on and take it all away? Or leave a little?

I had laser hair removal of my bikini area I decided to leave a little. I'm glad I did. I had it done about 15 years ago. I did the top, sides and the labia. So it's just a little bush in front. I keep it short but I'm glad I have a little there. For me, I feel like if it was all gone I would feel like a 10 year old girl. But that's just me. I know a lot of girls who have it all gone and they like it that way. :)

Thanks :) I think I want what you’re explaining but I have this stupid crooked stretch mark scar that runs through my hair line and I don’t know what to do about that. You can see it in the pics I’ve posted on my review.
November 15, 2017
Oh yes, I have seen that. That does make it hard. I guess I'm your case it may make more sense to just laser it all. Well, if you leave some hair and don't like can always laser it off at another time!
