I want to get my eyebrows done, bc they are bushy if I don't keep them waxed, and I have to pluck them every night!! uhhh.. but of coarse they don't offer laser hair removal for the eye brows. I have heard commercials where you can go in during your lunch break, then go straight back to work.

I hope all goes well for you, and it doesn't hurt you a bit.

How exciting! I've had a few friends that have had it done and said it wasn't bad at all.

Where are you going for Christmas? Are you coming to visit us? hehe

In a magazine it said it feels like rubber bands snapping against your skin.

tmatherly · 10-07-2007, 04:56 PM

I have had it done on my chin, upper lip, and those stupid random ones that turn up on your belly. It didn't hurt at all. It does feel like rubber bands snapping, but not hard. Oh, forgot...I also had it done on my underarms and that hurt a little more...I guess it's more tender area. One word of advice, I had the IPL laser and it doesn't last forever...just several months. The only one's that didn't come back were the belly hairs (yay!!)

One of my friends did it-to basically her entire body!

She had really bad reactions to shaving, so she had laser hair removal on her legs, underarms, bikini line, and upper lip. I think her whole body was done in 4-5 trips. It was expensive, but she swears it's the best investment she's ever made. I think for her it was worth the pain just to be done with the hair for good!

It can't be THAT bad-lots of people have had it done!

I had laser tattoo removal. It wasn't too bad. I'm interested in getting it done too, but it's too expensive for me at the moment. Let us know how you do. I was only able to do the tattoo removal because the doctor that I worked for began doing laser procedures and had never done tattoo's before so it was free!

I'm going to Florida the week before Christmas (leaving on Christmas Eve). I'm guessing you take Layla with you? Do you fly? Stay at a hotel?

I'd love to go to Florida for Christmas and take my two.. Just unsure about the whole hotel situation and all.

Just buy some numbing creme and use it before you go - this really helps.

It depends on the body part quite a bit. It does feel similar to a rubber band snap - but it can "feel" very different getting a "snap" on the arm vs. the bikini line!!!!! I got my bikini line done about 4 years ago and I LOVE it, some of the best "luxury" money EVER spent.
