Its more like 10 days to 2 weeks. Frustrating at first but next time there won't be so many so it does get easier. Hang in there . It works, I have done it.

Hang in there! It takes a few treatments to really see a difference, but when you do....WOW! You'll be so glad you stuck it out!

One thing to remember, though-it's not permanent hair REMOVAL. It's permanent REDUCTION. I had my last treatment in June, and could use a touch-up now (if I really think about it). I still pluck and shave a little, but the hair isn't as dark and coarse, and really only comes back on my chin now (instead of my neck, sideburns, moustache...etc...!) I couldn't be happier I did it.
