Re: laser hair removal

I'm doing that now.. They told me because of my complexion and hair colors it would take about 8-10 treatments - generally lighter skin and darker hair are the best and take less treatments(around 6 treatments).

Just be careful where you go, it's not the most fun and can scar your skin if the laser tech isn't experienced!

Each treatment is about 4 - 6 weeks aparts. (i'm averaging once a month)

ETA: You notice a difference after each treatment... I'm happy so far.

I'm going to Visage Skincare Spa & Cosmetic Laser Center - it's an LIW vendor and I met with them twice before starting the treatments - just had to be sure. I figured this wasn't something to do half-a$$ed.

Re: laser hair removal

Done this area twice: First time, had 8-10 treatments, Second time had 4 treatments....

Depends on skin type, laser used, etc.

I highly recommend it but it's not completely permanent!

Re: laser hair removal

because it's not completely permanent, some places have a maintainence program...

i pay full price for the first six treatments, then every treatment 'for life' is at a discounted rate.
