Re: LASER HAIR REMOVAL

I WANT to do this so bad!!!! ive been telling FH that i want this for my birthday haha im really considering doing is soon!!!

couple questions for those who do it:

does it hurt?
how many sessions before you notice a difference?
how many sessions in total?
does it grow back?
i know its expensive, but how much per session and how long do sessions last?

TIA!!!!

im sorry!!! i feel bad.
like a rubber band snapping?? hmmm sounds painful!!! do you have tattoos? if you do would you say the pain is less painful, more painful, or about the same?
im probably going to $uck it up and do it anyway, just want to prepare myself for the pain.

Re: LASER HAIR REMOVAL

It does hurt...
I get a numbing cream and apply it before I go.
When I apply cream to my legs I dotn feel a thing... i mean really nothing... totaly numb... i dont even feel if i pinch myself.
i also did brazilian... numbing cream helped but still pretty painful... However i think it less painful then wax

you should also know that you can not do tanning or to expose the areas to be treated with laser to sun for at least 2 weeks prior to treatment...

Re: LASER HAIR REMOVAL

the good one is by prescription only...
there is something over the counter, but i've been told it does not work that well...
the office i go to gives me a small container everytime i go, so i can use it next time
the first time i went they applied the cream for me (you need 45 min for it to start working) so they just told me sit ans relax...
but for next times i got the cream so i dont need to waist time

Re: LASER HAIR REMOVAL

I did Epilight Laser Hair Removal on my entire Bikini Area and I think it was some of the best money I've ever spent! I love not having to shave when I'm going to the beach (EVERY TIME!!!!!!)

Re: LASER HAIR REMOVAL

Laser MD wants to charge me $2500 for brazilian which FH is not even hearing so if you ladies have places with better prices that would be great

Re: LASER HAIR REMOVAL

I've been going to American Laser Center in the city (since I work a few blocks away). It is one of the best 'investments' i have made! You should def do it!! There is def places on your body that are more sensitive then others, also you maybe more sensitive to the laser if you are close to that time of the month...
Let me know if you need more info!

Re: LASER HAIR REMOVAL

omg u have my exact problem!!! hun i cry like every week about hair...i am italian so i feel your pain lol its the mediterranean in us. I am not like gorilla hairy on my body but rite after i shave within like a few hours i have stubbles again!! and the face has been an issue for me too. i seriously feel like a man sometimes and get really upsrt bc i am very girly and feel i look girly lol..but the hair issue makes me feel so disgusting. um i am looking into laser quotes..i went a long time agao for it and it only lessened the appearance so i need it again..it was expensive for me back then..but i am willing to do anything to feel better about this especially before i get married! if you get any quotes please FM me bc i really need to be looking into this too! Goodluck!

get 1yr of free maintenence ( 12 sessions)? why so many?

i belive you need to go only like 1 time a year after you do all your sesions, but maybe for face is different
