Yes, you can have bikini laser hair removal during your period. Learn how to stay comfortable and prepared.
You might be wondering whether to reschedule or go ahead with your laser session. The good news is that you can absolutely have laser hair removal while on your period. It won’t affect your results or safety, although it might feel slightly less comfortable. Here’s everything you should know before your appointment.
Pain Tolerance and Your Cycle
Pain tolerance naturally changes throughout your cycle. The days before your period are when you’re likely to feel more sensitive. Once your period begins, hormone levels balance out and sensitivity often decreases.
Most clients find that laser sessions are less painful than expected, but if you get cramps or feel extra sensitive, you can reschedule. If your periods are usually manageable, it’s perfectly fine to continue with your appointment.
Hygiene and Comfort Considerations
Some bikini laser treatments require removing underwear, so it’s important to feel comfortable and maintain hygiene.
- Use a tampon or menstrual cup during your treatment for comfort and peace of mind.
- Let your practitioner know you’re on your period—there’s no need to feel embarrassed. Professionals have seen it all and just want you to feel at ease.
- Wear loose, breathable clothing after your session to prevent friction or irritation.
Does Your Period Affect Laser Results?
No. There’s no evidence that being on your period changes how well laser hair removal works. The treatment is equally effective at any point in your cycle. Laser energy targets hair in its growth phase, which isn’t influenced by hormonal timing.
Pain-Reducing Tips
Bikini laser treatments are quick, and modern machines include cooling systems to minimise discomfort. If you’re concerned about sensitivity, try the following:
- Shave 24–48 hours before your appointment for a smoother treatment.
- Take a mild pain reliever such as ibuprofen about 30 minutes before if needed.
- Apply an ice pack or cooling spray after your treatment to calm the skin.
- Communicate with your practitioner—they can adjust the settings for your comfort.
Book with Confidence
Life is busy and rescheduling isn’t always convenient. If you feel comfortable, you can safely go ahead with your bikini laser treatment during your period. It won’t affect your results or progress.
