LASER HAIR REMOVAL - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

Hey, I was walking downtown Kirkland and I noticed a Laser Hair Removal clinic. I looked some information up on the internet and the results aren't always garaunteed and it doesn't work on everyone. It didn't say the price either. Anyways, I'm someone that is constantly waxing my sideburns, lip, chin, arm, stomach, anything imaginable and if this thing really works I'm more than willing to give it a try. I was just wondering what you guys thought or if maybe you HEARD anything about it?! Thanks for your help.

Yes...I too am interested in hearing people's experience with this.

From what I have read, it works best on light skin with dark hair, but the technology is getting better for all skin/hair types.

It can get pretty pricey considering it takes several sessions and like you said it is not guaranteed to work 100%. My sister had gone for two sessions and the hair grew in less and less but did not stick with it because of its costliness and now her hair is back to the way it was before she started. If your facial hair truly bothers you that much and you have tried all other options, than just be willing to spend the money on an unpredictable outcome.

it worked great for me...i had my upper lip done..i think it took 4 sessions..$800..then over the next few years i had one maintenance session...that was a couple of years ago and i dont see any need to go back...i have heard that it works best on fair skinned people...

I have had two treatments so far on my bikini line. Initially, it looked great but the hair is starting to grow back in. It's still much less hair than before but I still need to shave every few days. I'm going to go back again when I get more money. It does work best on fair skin with dark hair but it takes several appointments. I probably have at least another two before it's all gone and I've been told that I'm the perfect candidate with fair skin and dark hair. Also, it's quite expensive but I think it will be worth it eventually. Some places give free consults. You might look into that first with making a cash commitment. Maggie
