Good for you for taking control of this problem...
I had LHR in '05 for my excess facial hair... I've always had problems with rashes/irritation when it comes to shaving/waxing/depilatories/etc etc.. and the worst part was the hair would never even fully be removed...
I decided to try LHR in hopes that it would work better than other temp methods...... For me, personally, it has helped alot... I didn't keep up with it as much as I should have because the dr office was a bit far from my house... I wish I could've continued it as I'm sure the problem would be even better.... I used to have dark, coarse, black hair on my chin area that wouldn't even come off with waxing it was so stubborn... LHR left the area hair free for a while (best feeling ever!) but eventually it did grow back because I couldn't keep up with the treatments... But the regrowth is nowhere near as bad as it used to be... Much lighter, softer hair... A rarity in my case...
Good luck with LHR and keep us posted...
