I've decided it's time to invest in laser. My hormones seem to be in check, spiro is helping, and I've got some $$$ to spare. I'm tired of this being something I have to think about every day. I gave up waxing and plucking almost 2 weeks ago and started shaving. I can't wait to get this process started. I've been waxing and plucking often since my teens, so I have no idea how much hair is really there. I've never seen it all at once, and I'm kinda terrified to know that I will actually soon be seeing how bad it really is.
I have 2 laser consultations scheduled for next week. What should I be expecting? Any questions I should be asking? Do they do a test area normally? Any advice or shared experiences would be appreciated. Thanks.
I have had many laser sessions done. Only one that I have had results with is Light Sheer. What ever you do, don't go for an IPL machine, they temporary remove hair and doesn't reduce/eliminate for long term.
They might do a patch test. You might want the hair to grow in just a bit so they know the coarseness of the hair. They might even be able to tell you many treatments you might need (it's approximate of course).
Watch out for high pressure sales that try and make you do it right then and there. A good place will apply a moisturizer after the treatment so your skin doesn't dry up. Please do shop around for prices as they can vary from place to place. I will warn you it hurts a bit more than waxing but worth it in the end!
