| Laser Hair Removal? Anyone use laser hair removal? I want to try it for underarm and bikini, but don't know which one is the safest one. Also, how painful is it? I'm researching right now on it. |

| We do laser hair removal at the medical office where I work. I've had my armpits done about 4 times. It stings a little but is bearable. Feels kinda like a rubber band being snapped on you. I LOVE the results, my armpits are smooth and soft.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Bikini line. Hurts. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Best money ever spent!

| I've been wanting to do this too. How long does it last? How many treatments did you need to keep it off? |

| Bikini line here too. Pay the extra 25 dollars for the numbing cream and apply it liberally. It is painful- not going to lie- just burns... some areas more than others (usually the areas that i forgot to put the cream!) and that night and the next day it is sore and i found it itched.. but like Ann said.. BEST money ever spent.. i'd do it again in a heartbeat and i'm saving to do under my arms. It took about 4 sessions for my bikini line to be complete. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I think I did a total of 5 treatments - and it's been about 5 years since I did it - and I've never used that damn razor since! Now, if I only had the guts to put up w/ getting my legs done...

| it CAN last years... your hair has cycles so when it is in its growth cycle you'll start to notice hairs taht didn't get done.. but hoestly.. i might have 7 of those... and if you need a touch up you'd just go in for one sitting because the hairs they DID get... stop growing and all that is left is the ones that never got zapped! |

It may seem like a lot of money at first - but if you add up waxing (which is what I was doing, OUCH) and razors - over 5 years - you've practically paid for it right there. WORTH IT. END of razor bumps....

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | YEP! I always felt if it was the week before my cycle - I almost wanted TO END HER LIFE, that technician who was lasering me, poor thing! Hurt so bad! So yeah, timing is key...

| Ahhh....now I'm scared. It shouldn't hurt as bad as waxing, right? What kind of laser did they use? |

| Do you know what kind of laser should I stay away from and what kind do you recommend? Also do you know any questions I should ask? |

| No i dont' think it hurt as bad as waxing.. esp since you CAN numb yourself. Also where i go they put a cold wand on you before too to numb you even further. Waxing i find to be intense all over pain- the laser was like a needle sharp pain.. i'd rather do that than waxing any day of the week! |
