| Laser Hair removal anyone?? I am thinking of getting laser hair removal done in some unmentionable areas I've never done this but have heard both positive and negative things. I would love to hear personal experiences. I've heard it works well with thick, coarse hair. Some people say it's painful and others say they didn't feel a thing. Can you share your experiences with me please??

| Both my best friend and my sister have had this done. My sister had bikini area and underarm, my friend had both of those plus her legs done. Yes, it does work best on coarser dark hair - which means the underarm and bikini area usually do really well. Neither one of them have said that it's TOO painful to continue with but they have both mentioned that anyone who does this should definitely use the numbing cream that they give you to use before the treatment. Cost wise..... expensive..... but apparently worth every penny. I would LOVE to have at least the bikini and underarms done!!

| i would love to do that also, but those unmentional areas would be impossible to get it all, i think....they have to get into each and every hair follicle, one by one. i dont think its painful, but you do have to go back to do it again

| Yep, it takes many treatments for any area. If I remember right, for both my sister and friend, it was 6-8 treatments - 6 weeks apart. So it takes quite a while for the entire thing.

| Yea I know you have to go back like 6 times or more to get it finalized. I just would hate to spend all of that money, and have it all grow back

| I love laser. I had my underarms done and I want to do my legs, private place lol and my arms. Most places will make you put a numbing cream on, use it. Trust me, use it. If not it will hurt (like a rubber band snapping against your skin). If you use the cream, it's completely fine. Laser isn't forever ... you will probably need 1 treatment every 1-2 years to maintain it but most places offer a cheap follow-up visit ... like let's say $30. So for me, it's totally worth it. I love it.

| I had my legs, bikini, and under arms done. The legs didn't hurt at all. But the bikini and under arms hurt the most. I think it was worth it because the pain only lasts a few minutes and then it's done. Idk if you have ever had a tattoo, but my tattoo hurt more than the laser! I didn't use a numbing cream n I did just fine. I had results right away, but I have very light skin and very thick black hair. I had 8 treatments. And the place I go to offers free follow ups, if needed. Last edited by GORJESS; 07-02-2007 at 11:09 AM. |

| My laser is new, so nothing has brown back yet. But they said it never grows back fully. You'll maybe get a few very light hairs after a year. That's why those off those cheap follow-up visits.

| I'm having my bikini, underarms, and legs done right now. I have gone through 2 treatments on each area. I can already tell a huge difference on my underarms and some difference on the other areas. I will tell you it hurts like CRAZY!!!! I'm sure it will be well worth it though.

| Yeah, I have the numbing cream for the next treatment. I didn't realize that they turn up the setting on the laser each time, so it gets worse!! I hope this cream will help. I thought I was going to jump off the table!

| OK now I'm a little scared!!! Can I get knocked out for a bit or get laughing gas..lol..How bad does it hurt? Does it hurt kinda like when you pluck eyebrows? On a scale of 1-10 with one being virtually no pain/discomfort and 10 being I CAN'T DO THIS FOR ANOTHER SECOND kind of pain, what would you guys say it is?
