Lightbulb Laser in Sensitive Areas

Has anyone ever had laser on their chest? I have a lot of hair there...specifically on my breasts and it's killing me. Can you even have laser there?

I had laser on my face and it was a success, so when I finally build up the funds, I'm thinking of giving it a go on my chest, bikini area, and a few other random places. Please share your experiences.

I'm in the process of having laser hair removal on my chest. I'm pretty pleased but since most of the hair is very fine to begin with its taking forever. I guess the darker and more coarse the hair, the easier it is to remove permanently with the laser. The area around my nipples cleared up quite well. The lighter hairs inbetween my breasts are the stubborn ones. I was constantly plucking and waxing the hairs and got so fed up that I finally decided to get that area treated. The treatments don't hurt at all but I get really red afterwards. Its been expensive but I think its worth it to not have to tweeze and deal with ingrown hairs. Good luck with whatever you decide to do!!!

I have had 2 treatments on my chest. I only have hair on the top of the chest. After the first treatment I was pleased... but I also think because the hair is finer it may take longer to reduce the hair. I don't find it as painful as I did on my face.

I also had laser on my face with success nearly 5 years ago!

The only other place I would like to have laser done is my bottom... I just need to get the courage to get it done.

I have been on met for 3 months and am insulin resistant... so have dark skin in certain areas... am hoping that met will clear it up... so I can get more laser treatments done.

I would say go for it... the worse place I hated the hair was my chest! I just felt so embarrassed to ask for treatment there... but I just got so fed up of feeling un-feminine that I just asked!

All the best.

I find it very helpful to make a distinction between being "female" and being "feminine." "Female" is what I am. "Feminine" is a description I think of as being applied to just a few females, not even the majority, just to those who don't have any of the physical or mental characteristics often associated more particularly with males.
