Why choose By Shiva for intimate laser
Intimate laser deserves both technical excellence and genuine care, and that is exactly what we offer. We use the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus®, a dual-wavelength system combining Alexandrite and Nd-YAG lasers, which allows us to safely and effectively treat every skin tone on the Fitzpatrick I-VI scale. Its built-in contact cooling soothes the skin with every pulse, keeping even the most sensitive zones comfortable throughout.
The Hollywood and peri-anal combination is one of the most thorough treatments we offer, and we approach it with the discretion and warmth it calls for. Your comfort and dignity come first at every stage, from a private consultation to a relaxed, unhurried session. Our experienced practitioners have treated this area many times, so there is nothing to feel self-conscious about.
Over a course of sessions, laser targets the hair at its root to noticeably reduce regrowth, meaning smoother skin, fewer ingrown hairs and an end to the constant cycle of shaving and waxing. It is an investment in long-term ease and confidence.
How laser hair removal works
The laser emits precisely calibrated light energy that is absorbed by the pigment in each hair follicle. This energy converts to heat, disrupting the follicle's ability to produce new hair, while the surrounding skin is protected by integrated contact cooling. Because hair grows in cycles, only follicles in their active growth phase respond fully at any one time, which is why a course of sessions spaced several weeks apart is needed to treat all the hair across its different cycles.
The dual-wavelength design of the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus® lets us tailor each session to your skin tone and hair type, delivering effective results safely across the full range of skin tones.
Your appointment, step by step
Here is exactly what to expect from arrival to the moment you leave, so there are no surprises during this intimate treatment.
- We begin with a private, confidential consultation to review your skin, hair type and medical history, and to answer any questions in a relaxed setting.
- At least 24-48 hours before your first session, we carry out a small patch test to confirm your skin responds well to the laser.
- On the day, you settle into a private treatment room. The area should be freshly shaved, and your practitioner will help position you comfortably and respectfully.
- A thin layer of cooling gel is applied, and protective eyewear is provided before treatment begins.
- Your practitioner moves the handpiece methodically across the Hollywood and peri-anal area, with contact cooling soothing the skin at each pulse.
- We finish by applying a calming, soothing product and talk you through your simple aftercare before you go.
What it feels like in the room
Most clients describe the sensation as a quick, warm snap with each pulse, similar to a light flick of an elastic band, immediately followed by the cool relief of the contact cooling system. The intimate and peri-anal areas can feel a little more sensitive, but the session is short, and your practitioner works steadily and considerately, checking in with you throughout.
The room is private, warm and calm, and our team is completely matter-of-fact and reassuring about treating this area. At around 40 minutes the treatment is comfortably brief, and you are free to dress and carry on with your day straight afterwards.
Results and timeline
Laser delivers gradual, cumulative results. Here is roughly what to expect as your course progresses.
- Within 1-2 weeks of your first session, treated hairs begin to shed and the area feels smoother.
- After 2-3 sessions, regrowth often becomes noticeably finer, sparser and slower to return.
- Across a full course of 6, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, most clients see a meaningful long-term reduction in hair.
- Some clients benefit from one or two additional sessions to treat stubborn or hormonally influenced areas.
- Occasional top-up sessions help maintain your smooth, low-maintenance result over time.
Looking after your skin afterwards
The intimate area is delicate, so a little gentle care in the days following each session keeps your skin happy and your results on track.
- Keep the area cool and avoid hot baths, saunas, steam rooms and strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours.
- Wear loose, breathable cotton underwear to reduce friction while the skin settles.
- Avoid perfumed products, deodorants and exfoliants on the area for a couple of days.
- Do not pick or scratch; let any shed hairs come away naturally over the following days.
- Between sessions, shave rather than wax, pluck or thread, as the root must stay intact for the laser to work.
- Apply a high-factor SPF if the wider area may be exposed to the sun.
Safety and suitability
A patch test is required 24-48 hours before your first session. This quick, simple step lets us confirm your skin responds well to the laser and helps us set the safest, most effective settings for you. It is an essential part of treating you responsibly, and no first full session goes ahead without it.
Laser hair removal is not suitable during pregnancy, and certain medications, skin conditions and recent sun exposure or fake tan may mean we postpone treatment. Please tell us about your full medical history and any medication at consultation so we can advise you honestly. Where laser is not appropriate, we are always happy to suggest a suitable alternative.
