Grooming below the belt is no longer just a trend—it’s become a personal hygiene and self-care essential. For men seeking a clean, smooth, and lasting result, the three most popular options are trimming, Boyzilian wax, and laser hair removal. At Smooth Kitty, we specialize in helping you choose the most effective and comfortable method for your needs—and spoiler alert: laser hair removal reigns supreme.
What is a Boyzilian Wax?
A Boyzilian wax (also called a male Brazilian wax) involves the removal of hair from the pubic region, including the front, shaft, scrotum, and backside. Waxing pulls hair out from the root, delivering a smoother result than shaving or trimming.
One of the main advantages of waxing is that it pulls hair out from the root, which means results can last anywhere from 3 to 6 weeks depending on your hair growth cycle. Over time, regular waxing can lead to finer, sparser hair regrowth. For many men, it also helps enhance hygiene and improves the appearance and feel of the skin in intimate areas.
However, waxing comes with its fair share of drawbacks. First, the process can be painful, especially for first-timers or those with coarse hair. Sensitive skin is particularly prone to irritation, redness, and ingrown hairs after waxing. There’s also a risk of skin lifting or minor abrasions, especially if done improperly. Hygiene is another concern—salons that don’t follow strict sanitation protocols may expose clients to bacterial or fungal infections. Lastly, waxing offers only temporary results, so you’ll need to book appointments every few weeks to maintain a consistently smooth look.
For some men, waxing is a quick fix. But for others, the discomfort and maintenance schedule make it less appealing.
How Does Trimming Compare?
Trimming is often the first go-to grooming method for men looking for a quick, low-commitment way to manage hair in the intimate area. It’s easy to do at home with a body groomer or scissors, and it doesn’t come with the pain of waxing or the upfront cost of laser. For men who want to reduce bulk without full removal, trimming can strike a comfortable middle ground. It’s also a good introduction to grooming for those who are new to the idea of intimate hair removal.
That said, trimming offers the least smooth finish of all methods. Hair is merely cut at the surface, so regrowth is rapid—usually within a day or two—and the area may still feel stubbly or prickly. There’s also a higher risk of nicks or irritation if tools aren’t used properly or if the skin is especially sensitive. Trimming doesn’t affect the hair follicle, so it offers no long-term hair reduction benefits, and you’ll need to maintain it frequently—sometimes daily—to avoid feeling or looking unkempt.
Trimming is low-commitment, but it offers minimal aesthetic payoff. For those looking for a polished, smooth finish, it often falls short.
Why Laser Hair Removal is the Superior Choice
Laser hair removal offers long-term reduction of unwanted hair by targeting the follicle beneath the skin. It’s safe, precise, and with the right technology, suitable for all skin tones. At Smooth Kitty, we’ve invested in the Soprano Titanium system—one of the most advanced laser devices available today.
Advantages of Laser Hair Removal:
- Permanent Reduction:
Laser hair removal doesn’t just cut or pull hair—it destroys the follicle, significantly reducing regrowth over time. After a series of sessions, most clients enjoy 80–90% permanent reduction. - Smooth, Even Finish:
Unlike trimming or waxing, laser treatments result in consistently smooth skin. There’s no stubble, no patches, and no need to let hair grow out between sessions. - Less Irritation and Ingrowns:
Waxing and shaving can lead to bumps and ingrown hairs—especially in intimate areas. Laser targets the root without disturbing the skin’s surface, minimizing these issues. - Long-Term Cost Efficiency:
Although the upfront cost is higher, laser hair removal saves money in the long run by eliminating the need for frequent waxing appointments or constant grooming supplies. - Comfort and Safety:
With Soprano Titanium, treatments are virtually pain-free, even in the most sensitive areas. The device features cooling technology to keep skin comfortable during the process.
Why Soprano Titanium at Smooth Kitty?
At Smooth Kitty, we use the Soprano Titanium system, which is clinically proven for its safety, efficacy, and comfort. What sets it apart is its trio of three laser wavelengths, which work together to target different depths of the hair follicle:
- 755nm (Alexandrite): Best for treating lighter skin tones and finer hair. This wavelength targets the bulge of the hair follicle and is excellent for surface-level follicles.
- 810nm (Diode): A gold standard for hair removal, this wavelength is suitable for most skin types. It penetrates deeper to target the root and is ideal for denser hair.
- 1064nm (Nd:YAG): This penetrates the deepest, making it ideal for darker skin tones and for treating deeply rooted hair while minimizing the risk of pigmentation.
Together, these wavelengths allow for customized treatment based on your skin tone, hair type, and area of the body—offering maximum results with minimal discomfort.
Our certified laser therapists follow strict hygiene standards and customize each session to suit your needs. From your first consultation to your final session, you’re in expert hands.
Aftercare Tips for Best Results
To ensure optimal results and minimize any side effects, it’s important to follow proper laser aftercare:
- Avoid heat and sweat: Skip hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts for 24–48 hours post-treatment to avoid irritation.
- Use soothing products: Aloe vera gel or post-laser creams can help calm the skin and reduce any redness or sensitivity.
- Wear loose clothing: Let the area breathe to prevent friction and further irritation.
- No sun exposure: Keep the treated area out of the sun and avoid tanning beds for at least 1–2 weeks.
- Don’t pluck or wax: The laser needs the root present for future sessions, so only shave if needed between treatments.
Our team at Smooth Kitty will provide a full aftercare guide to help your skin heal quickly and smoothly.
