Question Laser Results - Mine have been mixed...

Well I went through about a year of Laser treatments every 6 weeks, and would say that 80% of the hair is gone. I had to stop because of money, but am now considering going again because the hair that is left annoys me to no end, not to mention it seems that a few that were gone are starting to come back. Blah. Anyway, I was wondering how other people have done with the laser treatments and if I should invest more to see if it will finally get rid of it all, or try something else.....

Thanks in advance!

yes well I think for everyone it's different, but for me personally I found the lazer treatment to not only be very painful...but also that the hair would grow back, and well you would have to grow the hair for 3-4 days befor hand..and well I found it to be a bigger burden then the hair it's self.
But I have not found any other treatments yet..but am looking into the insullin medicine... I have heard good results from that!!

I had laser on my stomach six years ago and its now ten times worse .. the problem is getting the hormones under control with drugs first and THEN using the laser .. I know this as my identical twin has PCOS but she is on Diane 35 and I had to come off it .. she had laser the same time as me and hers has NEVER grown back ... my doctor said that unless your supressing the androgens wiht drugs its going to be a constant battle ... I am now trying my last option dear god please work .. of Flutamide

I've had bikini lasering and I get a few little hairs but nothing like before. I have had 5 treatments so far. I want to do my arms and maybe my legs if I can come up with the money eventually. I do take spiro and have for a few years so I think that might make a difference as far as not developing more hair.
