Yes, unfortunatley, it is true.
You must shave the spots you want done so the laser can find the hair follicle and destroy the root.
Depending on what type of system they use. you will have to do different things for the procedures. Remember that your hair grows in cycles, so one treatment will not do the job. you must go back for follow up treatments. It's costly and the trueth is, it will hurt.
I had very heavy facial hair, almost a beard and had LHR treatment for about a year.
For me it was a daily, heart breaking, task to shave, then apply bleaching cream to make my skin lighter. so the laser would respond to the dark hair. But in the end I was a miricle for me. For seven years I had no regrowth. Unfortunatly right now my pcos has flared up and I am beginnning to get some of it back. But you can bet I am going to go threw the pain and cost to get it done again. It's worth it.
