Description
This type of hair removal is great for women and girls who are shy or feel discomfort while wearing a deep bikini. The classic analogue of the procedure involves removing hair only on superficial areas. When epilating, the following areas are affected:
- the inside of the legs near the perineum;
- right and left front near panties;
- top line.
Depilation is considered the easiest way to remove hair in the bikini area. The sugar paste is carefully applied to the indicated areas, and after hardening, the master tears off the material with a sharp movement of his hand. This option is suitable for patients who do not want to do a deep bikini, but only get rid of hair superficially.
Sugaring hair removal is considered the easiest way to give a neat look to the bikini area.
With this method, unwanted hairs are removed along the linen line using sugar paste. The effect lasts for 2-3 weeks.
The following advantages of sugar hair removal for this area of the body should be highlighted:
- Small psychological barrier. The patient should not worry or feel embarrassed during the procedure, as might be the case with a deep bikini.
- Painless. The girl will hardly feel any discomfort; short tingling sensations after hair removal are acceptable.
- Speed. It takes a specialist no more than 15 minutes to remove hair along the panty line.
- High efficiency. The results last for 3 weeks.
Note! If the procedure is being carried out for the first time, it is better to first test the skin for its sensitivity threshold and then decide on bikini sugar hair removal.
How long does the effect last?
The duration of the effect directly depends on the individual characteristics of the body, the type of skin and hair, and the speed of regrowth. It has been noticed that after the first session, hairs grow back within 1.5-2 weeks. With regular use, the duration will increase, and the hairs themselves will become thinner and weaker. Typically, for clients who use this type of hair removal for a long time, the results last for 3-4 weeks. Coupled with a relatively low cost and relatively no pain, this is an excellent result.
Preparation
Sugaring in a salon will have a much greater effect than if the removal was done at home. In order for hair removal to give positive results, it is necessary to perform preliminary preparation of the skin for treatment. It is worth paying attention to the following tips:
- Grow your hair. The minimum length of vegetation should be 5 mm, it is better if this figure is 1 cm.
- On the eve of the procedure or 2 days before it, it is imperative to clean the classic bikini area with a scrub or a hard washcloth. This is done so that unnecessary particles of the epithelium are exfoliated and hair removal goes faster.
- You should not apply oil-based cosmetics a few days before sugaring - this worsens the adhesion of the paste to the hair .
- There is no need to sunbathe in the sun or visit a solarium.
- It is recommended to come to the procedure wearing light cotton underwear to prevent chafing after hair removal.
While in the salon on the day of sugaring, it is important to check with the cosmetologist about methods of pain relief and skin disinfection. Chlorhexidine solution is often used for such purposes, but each center may have its own preparations. It is necessary to anesthetize the skin if the skin is hypersensitive and the girl cannot endure the pain for a long time.
Classic bikini sugaring is safe for the intimate area.
The method is gentle and almost never causes irritation to the skin. It is important to undergo an examination by a dermatologist if you suspect skin diseases in the intimate area.

It is worth noting that the sensation of pain is much reduced if the consistency of the paste is selected correctly, the temperature in the room, as well as the correct movements of the specialist.
Sharp and quick jerks will not cause long-term discomfort.
Which sugar paste to choose for bikini depilation
The main means for sugaring is sugar paste. You can buy it at the store or cook it yourself. It is important that the mixture has the desired consistency. For sugaring the intimate area, a hard or medium-density paste is ideal. Do not use soft types of products for this area, since they are not intended for depilation of hard, thick hairs characteristic of the bikini area. The type of paste must be indicated on the jar label.
Be careful when choosing the mixture: it should not contain any additional flavors or dyes. The main ingredients are sugar, fructose and water. Many types of mixtures also include essential oils and various plant extracts, which effectively moisturize and soften the skin during depilation.
Be careful if you are allergic to beekeeping products: some manufacturers add bee honey to the paste.
Medium-density sugar paste allows you to remove hard hairs growing in the intimate area
The ingredients for sugar paste can be found in any kitchen, so many women prepare it themselves. The most commonly used recipe is:
- Pour 2 cups of sugar with ¼ cup of water. It is better to mix the ingredients in a small enamel container.
- Add ¼ cup lemon juice.
- Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring it from time to time.
- After 8-10 minutes, check if the mass is ready. To do this, drop a little mixture into a bowl of cold water: if the drop becomes hard, turn off the heat and pour the prepared mixture into another container for further use.
If after the depilation procedure you have any unused mixture left, then place it in the refrigerator. The next time you are going to do sugaring, heat the frozen paste using a water bath or in the microwave.
To prepare caramel paste you will need a minimum of ingredients - sugar, water and lemon.
Since the composition is used for depilation in a warm form, before using the purchased paste, warm it up to a comfortable temperature. This is best done using a wax melter designed for melting jar wax and equipped with temperature indicators. If you don’t want to buy a special device, then the mass can be heated at home using a microwave or water bath.
The home procedure for sugaring the intimate area is performed manually, so you do not need additional products in the form of bandage strips or a spatula.

In contact with the skin after tearing off, the paste may cause minor damage to the upper layer of the epidermis. After hair removal, it is important to pay due attention to the bikini area:
- An hour after sugaring, you need to apply a gentle moisturizing cream to the treated areas. The best solution in this situation is a baby product containing extracts of natural oils and plants. Under no circumstances should you use cosmetics containing alcohol - it will burn your delicate skin.
- It’s worth giving up synthetic and lace panties for a while. It is better to give preference to natural materials such as cotton.
- On the first day, you should not touch the bikini area treated by the cosmetologist with your hands.
- For several days after sugaring, it is recommended to refrain from visiting swimming pools, swimming in open water, sunbathing and taking a hot bath.
- After a week, you need to use a scrub to cleanse the skin.
In addition, you should not treat the epilation area with products that help close pores. You should stop using tweezers for growing single hairs.
Required number and frequency of sessions
Cosmetologists claim that the effect of the procedure is long-lasting and, depending on the type of hair, can last 3 weeks. In fact, new vegetation appears in the bikini area within 14 days. It looks tougher and clumps together.
It is recommended to carry out a second session 2 weeks after the first. Then you can achieve a better effect. In the process of removing hair with sugar paste, over time the hair becomes less dark and its structure becomes thinner.
Growth slows down after several sessions - for this you need to perform sugaring at least 4 times. Hair becomes invisible due to a special component in the sugar mixture.
Important! You should not do sugaring yourself at home if you do not have the appropriate skills for this. Errors can manifest themselves in incorrect preparation of the paste or non-compliance with the number of sessions. An experienced cosmetologist will conduct a competent consultation and tell everything that interests the patient.
Contraindications
Before you sign up for sugaring, you need to study the prohibitions that do not allow you to perform hair removal with sugar. Contraindications include:
- any damage to the skin of the bikini area - scratches, abrasions, cuts;
- papillomas, hanging moles and a large number of common nevi;
- last trimester of pregnancy - the expectant mother may feel discomfort in the bikini area, which will negatively affect the condition of the fetus and cause irritation of the uterus;
- oncological diseases;
- diabetes mellitus – with this disease, the skin’s ability to regenerate decreases, therefore, small possible wounds will take a very long time to heal;
- the presence of infectious and viral diseases, as well as fungal damage to the body;
- chronic diseases of any type;
- mental disorders;
- menstruation - a classic bikini can be worn in case of such phenomena, but with caution, since sudden movements provoke increased bleeding.
If you neglect the listed prohibitions and visit a salon for sugaring, undesirable consequences may occur. Also, do not forget about allergies to honey - in this case, use a paste that does not contain this component.
