Why Wait to Swim After Brazilian Laser Hair Removal

April 03, 2025

One of the best ways to prepare for the summer or a spring tropical vacation is with laser hair removal in Toronto at a reputable skincare and laser clinic. Investing in Brazilian laser hair removal can get you hair-free and ready for all that your trip has to offer. In as little as seven sessions, you can have perfectly smooth, hair-free skin. If you’re planning on hitting the water, whether it’s the ocean or pool, it’s important that you take the right precautions to protect the treatment area and maximize your fun in the sun. To learn more about streamlining your hair removal with laser services, book a consultation with the experts at IGBeauty. 

Benefits of Brazilian Laser Hair Removal for Beach-Goers and Pool Lovers

brazilian laser hair removalBrazilian laser hair removal in Toronto is a comfortable, cost-effective, and simple way to eliminate unwanted hair. In preparation for wearing a bathing suit, many women use a variety of hair removal options, from waxing and hair removal creams to shaving to remove any hairs from the bikini line for a more confident and comfortable experience around the water. Laser hair removal is a pain-free option that can get you ready for the water in just 24 hours after your last sessions, whereas alternatives like waxing can be more painful, and most professionals will recommend waiting 48 hours to ensure that your skin is healed.

Here is why you should wait 24 hours before swimming after any laser hair removal service

Minimize Skin Irritation

Laser hair removal works by using concentrated light to target hair follicles, which can cause some degree of skin irritation immediately after the session. This irritation is generally mild and temporary, but it does make the skin more sensitive to external factors. Chlorine in swimming pools and salt in seawater can be particularly harsh on freshly lasered skin. Exposure to these elements can lead to increased redness, discomfort, or even a stinging sensation, which can be unpleasant and harmful right after a session at a laser clinic. 

Reduce Risk of Infection

Public bodies of water, even swimming pools with chlorine, can contain bacteria that pose a risk of infection to exposed skin. The laser creates tiny wounds in your skin (where the hair follicles were targeted), and while these are usually too small to notice, they can still be entry points for bacteria. Waiting 24 hours reduces the risk of infection and any related complications.

Aftercare Tips for Brazilian and Bikini Laser Hair Removal

To maximize the effectiveness of your laser hair removal treatment and to ensure that you’re as comfortable as possible after a session, IGBeauty and laser hair removal specialists in Toronto recommend you avoid the sun, stay away from harsh chemical exposure or skincare, and keep hydrated at least within the first 24 hours following your laser hair removal.
