I did a search and found quite a few threads dating to 2007 about laser hair removal, and i thought they were really interesting, but I'm fairly sure that technology has changed in the last 3 years.
So! I recently organised a package of 6 laser hair removal treatments on my bikini line (for the price of 3), and it's costing me less to get the hair lasered than it would to get it waxed.
It was reasonably painful, (like a rubber band or an electric shock being snapped against the skin) but the pain goes away the instant that the laser is moved to another area, unlike waxing, where the area remains sensitive for quite some time after the wax has been removed.
I've had really quite good results after only one treatment (I'd say as much as 60% of hairs have fallen out) but I'm wondering if those hairs that have fallen out will grow back. I've been told they won't.
Anyone had laser hair removal recently? What was your experience like? The worst part was when my beautician went over the area with a shaver before the treatment and it bled like crazy.
Otherwise, I'm quite happy with the treatment so far - its only supposed to get rid of 10% of hair growth with the first laser course, and mine is more than that, although like I said, maybe it will grow back?
Anyway. Anyone tried it?
