Re: lazer hair removal

I have had my laser/electrolysis on every part of my body (for 5 years).

can't be in the sun 1 monh prior or post laser treatment-so bad to have it done during the summer if you want to be in the sun. that being said, i tan 2 days after my treatments and nothing happens, but i think its my skin type that can handle it.

what area are you planning on getting don? i can give you more tps if i know the area, goals, skin/hair type, etc.

it hurts in some areas more than others; be wary of practicioners who will turn down the heat because it hurts you too much. either suck it up or buy a product like "emla" which is a numbing cream. this must be put on 1.5 hrs before the procedure to work. its expensive ($50 a small tube) but worth it for areas like your bikini.

keep in min d for best results, you also should follow a treatment pattern of going in ev ery 4-8 weeks depending on the area-meaniong, be prepared to pay up to $800 every 4-8 weeks.

electrolysis takes longer, hurts more, but i LOVE it. Laser has its great points too. let me know if you want more details.
bye

Re: lazer hair removal

I'm doing my armpits & legs...it is not pain free but in the armpit area it hurts mainly in the middle zone...and it is a small area so it is bare-able...
Good Luck!
Please tell us how it goes...
