Introduction
Laser hair removal has become a go-to solution for Singaporeans seeking smooth, hair-free skin, especially in sensitive areas like the bikini line and Brazilian zone. With its ability to target unwanted hair at the root, many people wonder: Can you permanently remove pubic hair with laser treatment?
The short answer is laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction, not guaranteed 100% permanent removal. The results can vary for each person, but factors such as hair type, hormones, and treatment consistency play key roles in how permanent the results truly are.
At Blush SG, we offer safe, professional laser hair removal in Singapore tailored to your unique skin and hair type. Whether you’re considering a bikini or full Brazilian laser session, we’re here to guide you through your smooth skin journey.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work for Pubic Hair?
How the Laser Targets Hair Follicles
Laser hair removal works by emitting a focused beam of light that is absorbed by melanin (pigment) in the hair shaft. This light energy is converted to heat, which damages the hair follicle, thereby delaying or stopping future growth.
Because melanin is the target, darker hair absorbs more light, making laser hair removal most effective on individuals with darker hair and lighter skin.
Hair Growth Cycles and Why Multiple Sessions Are Needed
Hair grows in three stages:
- Anagen (active growth)
- Catagen (transitional)
- Telogen (resting)
Laser treatment is most effective during the Anagen phase, which is when the hair is actively growing. Since not all hairs are in the same phase at the same time, multiple sessions (typically 6–8) are needed for optimal results.
Types of Lasers Used for Bikini/Brazilian Hair Removal
At Blush SG, we use FDA-approved technologies suitable for different skin types and tones, including:
- Diode Laser – Ideal for fair to medium skin.
- Alexandrite Laser – Fast and effective for lighter skin types.
- Nd: YAG Laser – Safe and effective for darker skin tones.
Pain Level & Sensations During Treatment
Most clients describe the sensation as a rubber band gently snapping against the skin. Discomfort is generally mild and well-tolerated, especially as hair becomes finer over time. Our therapists use customised settings tailored to your comfort level, ensuring a smooth and manageable experience throughout the session.

Can Laser Hair Removal Permanently Remove Pubic Hair?
Understanding “Permanent” vs “Long-Term Reduction”
While many people experience up to 90% hair reduction, laser hair removal is classified by the FDA as offering “permanent hair reduction”, not complete eradication. Some fine or light-colored hairs may remain or regrow due to hormonal fluctuations.
However, with consistent treatments and maintenance, most clients enjoy smooth skin for years.
Factors Affecting Permanence
Several factors influence the permanence of laser pubic hair removal:
- Hair Type & Skin Tone: Coarse, dark hair on light skin responds best.
- Hormonal Influences: Conditions like PCOS or pregnancy can trigger hair regrowth.
- Consistency of Sessions: Completing your initial 6–8 sessions and following up with touch-ups every 6–12 months is key.
- Technology & Expertise: The use of high-quality medical-grade lasers and experienced professionals improves effectiveness and safety.
Will Hair Ever Grow Back?
Some dormant follicles may become active again over time due to hormonal shifts. This is why occasional maintenance treatments are recommended to prolong your hair-free results.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal for the Pubic Area
There are many reasons why Singaporeans are switching from shaving and waxing to laser hair removal:
Long-Lasting Results
Ditch the razors and cancel your waxing appointments—laser hair removal delivers results that last months or even years with just a few sessions.
Smoother Skin & Reduced Ingrown Hairs
Laser treatment significantly reduces ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and irritation common with shaving and waxing.
Less Pain Over Time Compared to Waxing
While the first few sessions may sting slightly, many clients find it less painful than waxing, and the discomfort decreases with each session.
Cost-Effective in the Long Run
While the upfront cost may be higher, laser hair removal is more affordable over time than the cumulative costs of waxing, razors, and hair removal creams.

Preparing for Laser Hair Removal in the Bikini Area
What to Do Before Your Session
To ensure the best results, follow these pre-care tips:
- Shave the area 24 hours prior to your appointment.
- Avoid sun exposure or tanning beds for at least 2 weeks before your treatment.
- Do not wax or pluck—the follicle needs to be present.
- Avoid using retinoids, acids, or exfoliants in the treatment area a few days before.
What to Wear to Your Appointment
Wear loose, breathable cotton underwear or pants to avoid post-treatment irritation. Your comfort is our priority.
