Brazilian laser hair removal is one of the most common procedures performed in spas today. Technically, the Brazilian is supposed to leave some of your hair intact, letting you be the judge of how much and where. The term “Brazilian” has adapted, though, to meaning complete removal of any bikini line hair. This is probably in part due to the interpretation society expects, as having totally bare skin is the more common thing to do.
There is an extra detail being added to full Brazilian procedures, and it’s a phenomenon called the Vajazzle. It involves having completely smooth skin, and then applying a pattern of Swarovski crystals as a temporary decal on your skin. The crystals simply transfer on from a clear plastic sheet, requiring you to do nothing but make sure to firmly press them on. Spa goers won’t have to worry, though, as the technician can take care of it for you!
Laser hair treatment is a permanent procedure, but the crystals won’t stay on your skin forever. You don’t need to be worried about being stuck with one design, and you can even match colors to special occasions. Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt, who was named the "World's Sexiest Woman" in 1999 by Maxim, was recently a guest on television show Lopez Tonight, and explained to George exactly what a Vajazzle is. She then went on to say hers was pink that night, to match her pink dress! She may have floored George for the time being, but she isn’t the only one talking about the new flair for totally bare skin.
The trend started in New York City, and has made a comeback recently in popularity. News stations, TV talk shows, and magazines have all weighed in on just what the Vajazzle actually is. Howard Stern also aired a segment talking with the spa owner and developer of adding some flair. The patterns available for the Vajazzle are sunburst, peace sign, heart, or butterfly.
Laser hair removal procedures will keep your skin permanently free of unwanted hair, so you can get the longest life from your Swarovksi crystals, and change designs whenever you’d like. 6-8 simple appointments spread out with about 5 weeks between each other will have you permanently sleek skin waiting to be Vajazzled.
As Jennifer Love Hewitt said, you’ll “shine like a disco ball!"
