I consider myself a Laser Hair Removal Pro (thanks to Mark @ Assara Laser Centers). I signed up for a special deal that included, well, everything (unlimited program). I began with treatments on what I considered "priority" areas (face, arms, bikini) about 5 months ago and have now added all the other areas to be treated. I have had mixed, but good, results but I believe it has a lot to do with the area treated. For example, my underarms are nearly "done" but my face still needs more treatments. The hair thickness (fortunately) was considerably different in these two regions to begin with, thus, the thicker hairs have responded more quickly. I rarely need to shave there at all now, whereas I used to shave my underarms daily. It is great! I want to address the concern many people have about the pain involved. I find this to be a relatively painless experience but it completely depends on the area being treated. I am generally NOT a pain tolerant person (I was blacking out from the pain and screaming for medicine as I arrived at the hospital to have my son). That being said, when the laser is on a super high setting and my thighs are being done, I do not even feel it. On the flip side, when the laser approaches a bony or super sensitive area (ankles, bikini) I definitely would not do it without using a numbing cream first. Numbing creams are now my best friend- besides the laser! and they usually take care of 80% of the sensation. All told, I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is considering it. You will thank yourself later.
