I think the 'blonde thing' is true.

OH yeah! I have also had a tattoo lasered and now this is the most painful thing!! I think I've gone 6 times and still have at least 6 more. I get numbed, about 15 shots in the tattoo and I scream with those! They so hurt! And even after those, the zapper still makes me jump! Getting the tattoo was much less pain!!!

my brother had his tattoo removed by laser and he said it was very painful.. he's done about 4 treatments now, still having to do more though..

i might have this done in the future though because i also heard it was pricey.

I had a laser treatment on my face to help my fine lines (lol...I was only 28 at the time) and to even out my color and she said that the same laser she was using is also for hair removal and broken veins. She told me that in order to get good results that the hair has to be dark and in the growing stage. I do have some hair on my face but it is mostly very light and fine so I didn't see a differnce in that. When ever she did hit a dark hair or a tiny broken vein that laser zapped and I almost jumped off the bed. Also when she was on my upper lip area the laser went through my lip and hurt my teeth, so she said to place your tongue over your teeth to help that. I think I paid about $500.00 for the whole procedure.

Let me know how it goes. I really need it too. Every since I had my son my chin has all these wild black hairs. It is terrible and embarssing.

My sessions cost $90 each. They were running a grand-opening special when I went. I think I got 5 visits for $350. According to the literature, the darker your hair the better your results. Good luck!!

my husband had three tx's on his face and still has hair going back where he had it removed. he thought it was a waste of money. ohhhh it was painful. things have changed in the three years he has had it done so it is probably better now.

Oooh it hurt me!

Not to make it a bad thing for everyone, it might be great for some.

I had it done a couple of years ago, so maybe something has changed.

It will only work on the dark hair, not the blonde, and like someone else said, it has to be in the growth stage.

I used a lidocaine gel to supposedly numb the area first. I didn't think it did squat.

The laser zap felt like, to me, hot grease popping on my face.
Ever been splattered by bacon grease? That's what I'm talking about.
I went ONCE and spent 450.00. It was a package deal for 900.00 for 5 treatments. I never went back.. wasn't worth the pain to me.

This is true. This was the first question that they asked me. You must have brown or black hair for the laser to work. I have no idea why, but that is what they told me. :confused:

They have quoted 5 treatments for me and if any additional, it will be free for 1st year and 75% discount after that. So, it doesn't seem completely unreasonable. I guess we'll see. :rolleyes:

i am sure they have come a long ways since three years ago. i am sure you will be fine. i hope it works for you. you need to let us know!!!

I've spent over $2,000 on laser treatments for my underarms and bikini area. It did not hurt at all,more annoying than anything:laugh: The jokes on me, though, cuz the hair there is NOT totally gone. It's better, but I still have to shave there:cry:

I should tell them that I want a refund:mad:

I almost think that if it doesn't hurt, it's not working:laugh: :p

I think elecrolysis and better and more permenant. It hurts but it's better than getting waxed the rest of your life over and over, which hurts like hell.
