She's absolutely right. I had laser hair removal in my twenties, and it never came back. I still have hair growing but it's very thin and sparse, and of course as I got older it got less and less. I"m in my 50s and that laser hair removal was the best money Ive ever spent. It's totally worth it if you're dark haired and light skinned like I am. It literally changed my life. I have gone from feeling like a hairy freak and constantly battling with hair removal to feeling like a normal person with less than normal body hair. It became completely manageable and stayed that way. Now that I'm older, I rarely have to remove the hair on my legs. The girl complaining about regrowth may be right though, but that's because she seems to be very light skinned with also light colored thin hair, I dont think laser would work that great on her.
I have really sensitive skin and when the hair on my legs would come in, it was so incredibly itchy. I could barely tolerate it. I got tired of shaving everyday so I had hair removal done. I'm 60 now and I only have to shave about once a month to get rid of stray hairs. Best thing I ever did! I love it!
Same! I used to get terrible ingrown hairs in the bikini area and got it lasered 20 years ago. It was SO FREEING! I love surfing, swimming, kayaking and hot springs and am now perpetually ready for action without anything except perfectly smooth skin. I have about 3 hairs I periodically pluck out. One under my arm, too. It's the smartest money I ever spent on myself.
That sounds like an absolute dream. Im always shocked when I see women wearing pants that have smooth legs underneath, (something I could never achieve, as im ONLY ever shaving when my legs are going to be bare.) and im always missing out on warm weather activity and dress, because the cost to benefit ratio of shaving isn't there for me. It would take me about 1.5 hours to shave my legs, bum, crotch, and armpits, and for what? To have irritation and breakouts (that can last for well over a week.) for what isn't a smooth shave anyway and last for half a day? The amount of follicles I have is extreme, with two hairs growing out of many of those follicles. My body hair could rival the hairiest of men, and it legitimately lowers my quality of life. I absolutely hate it.
Everyone getting it done gets a full explanation and of course it's not instant gratification, you have to have multiple sessions on each area for it to work
I had laser hair removal bc the hair hasn’t grown back after 2 treatments that I had done 10+ yrs ago. I do remember the tech disclosing that it may grow back, grow back more, or not at all. I got lucky. I also remember her saying it works best on lighter skin with black hair, I’m Hispanic.
I’ve just finished 8 session of laser hair removal on my under arms. I am NOT hairless but I no longer have awful shaving rashes and have about 85% less hair than I did. I’ll get a top up here and here. It’s definitely worth the money but it’s not always a full removal for everyone. (I have type 1 skin and very dark brown almost black body hair, I’m technically a perfect candidate)
buy one for at home it’s pricey (360 euros from Phillips) but it’s wayyy cheaper and it works faster. I have experience with salons and I’m telling you the difference I had after buying one for at home is insane
I got laser hair removal about 7years ago because my body hair used to grow so thick that shaving it and letting it grow back was painful. I went to a reputable company that told me everything that I should expect before and after the removal. I never got all my sessions done as I moved to another country, so I still have some hair left. However, the hair that is now left is much thinner and more sparse, so when I actually do shave, I am not only left with smooth skin, but it is no longer painful when I let it grow back. I 100% recommend it to anyone who has the money to do it and if you qualify for laser hair removal.
I think the issue is that it’s so expensive that even after u finish u have to pay for touch ups. Touch ups are cheaper ofc but it’s still annoying since it adds up lol
Places where it’s common it’s cheaper. They mentioned Turkey I’ve also heard India it’s very cheap, Asia like Korea, China & Japan…probably Brazil. Just go where people are hairy. I plan to do it in the Mediterranean, honestly would never pay 500$++ and a lot of these clinics don’t even get the hair in all the sessions for that price! So many clinics in US it’s borderline not reliable.
Laser hair removal is semi permanent, depending upon your hormones. I have had pcos since I was 14, I'm 23 now. And I have had hashimotos thyroiditis since I was 18. These things effect hormones, which inturn effect the number of follicles. I would get laser done every year, and different types of lasers and yet, I still have facial hair, it's not thick and dense as it used to be, but it's still there, it's still visible from a far, in pictures. Happy for all the girlies for whom laser worked a 100 percent.
apparently laser does not work at all on facial hair cause it’s purely hormonal…peep the comments there’s people discussing how it didn’t work on that area only.
I had numerous laser hair removal treatments on certain areas - this is my experience: Underarm - had a total of I think 4 to 5 sessions. About a once a year I go to see my laser hair removal specialist and she checks if any random hairs are there; if there are, she zaps them but this year she checked just last week and it was all clear Had a Brazilian one done also - about 4 sessions all in all Last one two years ago and am due for one next week in fact / some hairs have grown back but I would say about less than 10% On my upper lip and jaw line / have it done more regularly purely because I have a hormonal condition that does cause some abnormal hair growth on the jaw line / so if there are hormones involved, laser helps but some hairs do come back / BUT laser made it significantly better Legs - had maybe about three sessions all in all / some hairs but I just shave them once every few weeks and I am set So all in all - laser is defo worth the investment if you don’t want to run to the waxer every several weeks AND - and this is a big one - if you want to do away with ingrown hairs or irritation from waxing shaving or epilator (which I have and have used but ended up with lots of little curled up ingrown hairs) What I would say is that if one does it - make sure you go to a properly licensed place with specialists who know what they are doing. If you have lots of little moles like I do / a laser specialist properly trained knows to go around them etc etc But I have found it more than worth the money!
Hi there, I guess from the hormonal explanation you gave, you have PCOS as well? I wanted to have your feedback on the jawline/upperlip laser. I’m currently doing laser on my underarm, bikini and legs where the hair is really dark and it works really great! Tho the hair on my upper lip is more pale. I was wondering how was your experience for the upper lip laser removal? Thanks 🤗
@@Jass27O6 Upper lip was just fine. Barely any regrowth nowadays. Does come back a bit but that is less and less. And no, I don't have PCOS. I have what is referred to as a prolactinoma that causes elevated prolactin levels and throws hormones off but even with prolactin somewhat under control, it still comes back. Far less than before but it does come back. What I have noticed is that if I keep my diet in check, which in my case means no dairy and reduced sugar consumption and also if I cut out excessive coffee, then it is ok. Interestingly enough, if I have black tea instead of coffee, that lessens it as well so I have thought that perhaps it has to do with elevated cortisol levels - not sure. Have been tested for PCOS and the answer was no. But in summary, even though some hairs do come back, the jaw line and upper lip is def worth it because it has lessened the hair regrowth significantly and keeps it away for much longer. And this way, you don't need to shave every day which can still leave stubble sometimes....
@@juliacastro8505 Is it possible that your specialist is not using the right strength? I have learned in the meantime that there are different strengths that they can use. If after 3 sessions it has done nothing, they may not be doing right?
Thank you for the detailed explanation ❤ i am South Asian with light skin and super dark hair. Is the regrowth less (as in, fewer hairs per square inch kinda lol)? And are the regrown hairs finer? Some of my hairs are thick and curly so ingrowth is a b*tch but my life would be so much easier if they grew back like baby hairs lol
I also ALWAYS let my clients know- expect to commit to this for a year because it can take 6-12+ sessions per area. Be consistent, every 4-6 weeks. AND if you plan to have kiddos or have other hormonal changes due to health conditions, I still recommend this because the results are amazing and worth it TO ME, but just know hormones can stimulate hair growth too. I touched mine up after 2 years and it was pretty much gone again. I have peach fuzz on my coochie but I don’t really care enough to shave it so yeah- I think it’s worth it!!!
Did it in my bikini zone and underarms about ten years ago, about a dozen sessions, with an esthetician, and 80% of my hair hasn't grown back since then.
Laser hair removal was the best thing I ever did in terms of beauty treatments. Worth every penny! I wouldn't even agree with the bush/twig metaphor, it's more like bush/hair free space with maybe two-three thin hairs. Just pick the right laser!
That really depends, hormonal changes can make you grow more hair. New hair not the ones you had before. I had laser around two decades ago, on my armpits and bikini line. I didn't do more laser sceances since then, but I'm still happy with the results, no comparison with what it used to be
I have been lasering my hair for almost 2 years (for maintenance purpose only) and the hair did decrease significantly. They're not gone completely but if you use tweezers to plug them out, you'll see that the hair that grow back feel like they do not have roots, like you can plug them out without any pain. Of course they grow back much slower I only need to do a section every quarter and no shaving in between at all. So yes, still one of the best beauty decisions I've ever made highly recommend.
I got my underarm hair laser removal 10 years ago, it was a 5 session treatment. The best decision I ever made. ❤ It's not totally gone but my thick hair decreases the growth, some hair becomes thinner, less hair and becomes lint textured. It also makes my underarm less darker, I'm using a crystal deodorant which really helps.
I got Brazilian lhr, I only did 2 sessions (I need 6 sessions). It HURTS, but it only takes 20 minutes. After the two sessions I still have hair, but no bush! It very manageable.
I had my Brazilian done at 2 locations (I got a coupon for both), and it’s taken me 8+ sessions. I have literally like 10 hairs now, and it’s sooo worth it. Also, my sessions took less than 5 minutes and didn’t hurt that much. Feels like a rubberband snap. Funny how our times are so different! Must be different settings
@anabel8254 it really is like a rubber band snap, but it's like two inches at a time, so it is over and over around the area. I thought it was torture, but it was over so fast it was worth it.
How are you supposed to manage it afterwards so hair doesn't grow back with the same density? After doing it how should the little hair that reappears be removed,like with waxing or shaving ?
@user-ys3sq9cg6z however you want. You can continue to get treatments until there is nearly no hair left. You can shave or wax, it's just easier with less hair. I only shave once a month and I use to get a bush, not it's kind of similar to leg hair.
Laser hair removal here. Indeed this is correct as any good technician will tell you what is reasonable and after evaluating you and your skin type what to expect and how your results will go. I have no more beard and stache but i have all these twiggy sparse hairs under my chin which to me is noticeable but not actually to others. It also changes the texture of hair.
i got a few laser treatments on my underarms in 2020 i think. my hair is thick and coarse, i would have to shave 2-4 times a month. but after laser i would shave once a month! the hair would grow back very slowly, and was very thin. but now almost 4 years later i’ve noticed my hair has been growing back quicker.
I did IPL at home. Went from having a 5 o’ clock shadow on my legs 12 hours after shaving to needing to shave once every 2 weeks or so. Not only is the hair much more sparse, the stuff remaining seems much finer and lighter as well. Biggest drawback is that it doesn’t respond the same to every hair growth area-so far bikini area is much thinner, but facial hair & underarms are still going strong. Legs responded best. Overall, though, definitely recommend.
I have to disagree. I think it depends on your hormones and genetics because my hair grew back. They sell it to you as if it’s permanently Gone, but it’s kind of false advertisement. Buyer beware!
@@clothyoriginal Yes same here. I’m super white with grown hair lol it worked for a while and then grew back. But I will say since I started spironolactone, my hair has been a lot finer in those areas. I encourage anyone with coarser hair to ask their doc about it cuz it helps feminize.
What many don’t know is that many practitioners don’t change bulbs and makes the laser completely ineffective. I had 4 ipl session which is milder than laser ten years ago and I’m completely hair free
It might depend on the person? I did about 1.5 years of laser hair removal (~10 sessions) on the upper lip and it never minimized the hair. Everything just kept coming back as normal. I had to get electrolysis done just to see results.
I've done it before and one of my closest friends works in a derm office. She's been working in dermatology for 15 years now. She said the upper lip is one of the hardest spots to see any difference. To me, getting my upper lip lasered was not worth the pain - just shave or wax if that's your thing.
@@Username0467 yepp it is definitely worse for me after 7 sessions of laser on the upper lip. Now I have to epilate EVERY WEEK and the hair is getting thicker and blacker every time. I want to look into electrolysis but I'm scared it won't work.
Yes same for me but I also did laser on my lower face and unibrow. Definitely got great results everywhere except my upper lip. Even my lower lip hairs are gone now. Thought it was just me but I guess that region is just notoriously stubborn 😢 at least it doesn't grow out as fast as it used to, so I'm content with it having some results at least.
Six years ago I had a full treatment of laser hair removal on legs, armpits, brazilian and perianal. I never went back to get yearly "reminder" sessions as they call them and I still truly believe it's one of the best treatments I've ever spent my money on. Before laser, I used to wax, use an epilating machine or shave. I have a high pain tolerance, so pain wasn't an issue for me, but results were. My skin would be left inflamed or I would have painful and ugly looking in-grown hairs. It was a hassle and it actually hindered my confidence too. Six years later, I haven't had a single ingrown. The treated areas were mostly bald and with time, I did get some growth back. However it's very sparse, the hairs are thin/soft as they come (very easy to shave and don't cause ingrowns). I'll probably go back to get a few more sessions tho, just to stay on top of it. Point is, yeah, some of it does come back, but it never comes back to the shape and amount it used to be before. And if it does, it might be worth checking with your doc cause sometimes hormonal changes do affect the outcome.
I had 10 sessions (legs and vulva bush) and I quit. Less hair but it’s not gone. My derm office had lied and told me that it would be ALL gone under 10 sessions and that ALL hair would be gone. I am sooooo disappointed.
Same here I’m thinking they didn’t set it to right setting based off your skin tone and hair type maybe … my face hurt like hell worked great body didn’t hurt at all did a ton of sessions for no reason
But y’all it’s literally abnormal for your hair to not grow. You can’t eliminate hair growth on your body. You can lessen the growth in a time frame but you can’t completely eliminate it.
I had a similar experience. I paid for a set number of sessions and was told the results would be permanent and all the hair would be gone. Once the last session came around, they were suddenly telling me I'd need maintenance appointments when that's not what I was looking for! My hair amount was reduced for awhile but now, years later it's just as much growth as it ever was. Electrolysis is the only truly permanent hair removal process. I'm hoping to start it soon
@@izzyNFT69 laser works on some and not others it worked great on my face not so much on Brazilian or legs but I think it’s bc the nurse was an idiot and had it set to wrong setting … electrolysis ruined my face and thickened the hair
Although I don't disagree, something to add- I had laser hair removal on legs, underarms and Hollywood. I think it's important to realise that different areas don't respond the same. I don't have hair on my under arms or legs, however the Hollywood area never fully responded during the treatment, immediately after and years later I still have alot of hair. I'm not mad because they warned me it might not be as effective. But I had 10 sessions and got very little from it in that area (I have pale skin and black hair)
I had laser hair removal years ago, legs, arms, underarms and face, I only get the occasional little bit of hair that grows back and it’s never grown back the way it used to be, it’s like fine little hairs and you can’t even notice them unless I’m standing out in the sun, and when I notice them, I just run my razor over them or you can go back about every 18 months to have a touch up, which I’ve done in the past, it was the Best decision I ever made, especially having dark hair, the hair never grows back the Same…❤️❤️🥰🥰
I have thick hair and a lot everywhere. I have tried two very reputable places and had done like 15 sessions in each place. Had it done in armpits, face, bikini, legs. After 2 months my hair grows back like I had nothing done. It has been years. I’ve gotten blood tests and no one can seem to find and answer. Last time I tried soprano titanum which is like the latest technology and still nothing works. Not to mention it was incredibly painful everywhere. And yes I went freshly shaved and followed every recommendation. I even started tanking spironoloactone after ~ 10 sessions of no results and nothing changed. I’ve only had some results in my legs, some bald spots that came from the first time I lasered like 10 years ago. But the rest of my body only had temporary improvements.
Research PCOS, hershimotos and HS...you may be experiencing hormonal changes affecting hair growth. Genetics also plays a role. Is there medication you take that cause this? Electrolysis is permanent hair removal solution. Laser Hair removal is just reduction and people need at least 12 treatments for most of it gone.
@@adila2442 yea is definitely genetics. I come from a hairy family. I’ve gotten tested for every possible hormonal imbalance and I’m fine. I’ve researched with my doctor but electrolysis is too much pain and time. For now I will keep doing laser every 3 months even if I know is not permanent, because I’ve had more than 15 sessions already and the first 2 months the hair is gone but it comes back later
I can say that electrolysis is your best bet. Had my entire face and part of my legs done. Amazing results!! It’s been 2 years and not one hair has returned.
I had laser hair removal. It was recommended that I have a "top up" every 6 months for maintenance. I haven't had any treatment in 6 years and it has all grown back.
Hair colour is a crucial factor. The darker the better. It took me two & a half years of consistent laser treatments to be completely rid of armpit, full bikini & leg hair. Money well spent.
My underarm hair is still gone and it's been 10 years. My brazillian has come back thinner in patches as soon as my hormones changed. Our horemones making a huge difference on hair growth especially in the genital area. So though, shes partially wrong about not getting back a full bush, you absolutely can... I have... however... it's come back a thinner. And for my friend who went through hormone therapy, it came back fully. That being said... it was worth it for me
The place I go are actual nurses so their lasers are stronger than a typical spa. I have seen great results and also get free touch up’s because hormones will cause hair growth.
I had SEVERE hirsutism and i found a dermatologist and asked for help as a last resort. I had laser removal every four weeks for about 8 sessions and the hair was completely gone! I have a stray hair on the odd spot, nothing a tweezer can't fix. So for me it removed 99.5% of the hair. And i had the thickest course hair on my face.
Mine worked 100%. Then I went on hormones to get pregnant and it ALL GREW BACK. I mentioned multiple times that my husband and I were going to be doing fertility treatments and not a single one of them told me at any of my appointments that it was possible the hair would grow back with hormonal changes 😂😂 I spent so much money for NOTHINF
Absolutely worth it!! I had my underarms and bikini line done 4yrs ago. Bikini line remains absolutely perfect. My underarms have started to regrow very gently. Nothing like it was. I got laser particularly for my underarms because my skin was very sensitive to shaving and waxing. I’ll eventually redo my underarms but it’s not an immediate concern. Absolutely worth the money. The time, pain and expense saved by having laser done outweighs any cost compared to not having it done. Do it!! I would advise against getting a full Brazilian done though, unless you are absolutely certain you never want hair down there ever again. Trust me, you might change your mind as you age.
Genetics is why I went down the Laser Hair path. I have a TON of thick black hair and while it looks great on my head (long thick hair + thick eyebrows) it is a thick forest everywhere else on my body. I did laser hair removal for 14 months on my legs. I’m not hairless but I don’t look like a walking overgrown lawn anymore. I started wearing shorts casually for the first time in 15 years!! 💃 Considering where I started and how I look now, I would absolutely do it again. (Even though it hurt. My pain tolerance is like 2/10 😢)
It should be obvious depending your age. If you are a teen or early twenties, your body is still going through hormonal changes. Especially if you ever get pregnant
This is why I haven’t bothered to go get it- bc I read it comes back anyway. I have dark blondeish-grayish (yes, gray) leg hair so I’ve always been limited by cost or access. Supposedly, “Alexandrite” lasers work on lighter hair types but I’m a) scared of still getting burnt, b) not many places have them, and c) the ones that do have them are too expensive, and aren’t on Groupon or sites like that. If anyone can speak to getting laser hair removal on blonde/gray/red hair, I’d love to hear how it went for you! Any tips would be appreciated.
I've been to multiple places to get laser hair removal since I was 25 (am now 40). They never tell you it's permanent. It's a reduction of hair. That lady who posted is probably trying to get more people to check out her page because of her freakout or she didn't read the fine print or listen to the person lasering her.
i’m from south east asia and i get my underarms and brazilian lasered for the past 6 months. underarms : after 3-4 sessions i can already see that there’re BARELY any new hair, only 1-2, and the new hair is also really thin brazilian : the hair here is apparently more resilient than in my underarms, but i can say the growth is like at only 30-50%. so it’s thinner and also take a longer time to grow
yeah this is acceptable if they actually doesn’t advertise it as hair is going forever after the specific number of sessions, they always misinform people about results plastic surgeries too
Literally, no one told me that it will grow back. And I did research beforehand. Not a single site mentioned this little fact. Only after my last treatment was I told to come back every six months to a year.
I have PCOS and unfortunately with hormonal issues… it can 100% come back and with a vengeance. At least on the face. I’ve had my face lasered 3 times with 6 sessions apiece.
I had 8 session on the bikini line - and maybe a 50% reduction. Definitely not close to all of the hair! The problem is that your hair has to be close to black and your skin very pale for it to work. My hair has red in it, although it visually looks very dark. The clinic I went to did not tell me this.
I’ve been lasting for a decade inconsistently due to travel and work. When I tell you that the changes I’ve seen are crazy - it won’t mean much. But it IS crazy. Now I bought a Philips IPL as it’s cheaper than going to laser in west Europe (compared to Ukraine) and that machine is helping finish up lots of stuff as well. It made me so much more confident and saves so much time on shaving holy crap
In Qatar it’s literally the standard for every Qatari woman to get laser and they start doing so in their teens, it’s also very very cheap and affordable in comparison to the prices I see in the US. Once you experience the advantages and ease of mind with laser you never want to go back, also we usually have dark straight hair and laser is known to work best on dark straight hair.
I was told that a major change in hormones (like pregnancy) could cause some new growth. Maybe she didn’t go to a good provider or wasn’t listening/read the contract fully.
i can vouch. i have pcos so i'm very, very hairy. i had a lot of leg hair, and it was thick and dark. ive been having it laser removed for 3~4 years at this point and it's SO much thinner. like it's still there, but it's thin and sparse enough that it's genuinely kinda hard to see. and that's with pcos!!! laser removal isn't 100% permanent, but it's still damn effective
I know several women who had laser hair removal and the ones who had hormone therapy (to get pregnant) or just after pregnancy naturally, they say the hair came back in full and they had to do the laser hair removal sessions all over again. Atleast it did stay away for a few years. So they told me to do laser hair removal after you are done having kids because it might come back. This doesn't happen to everyone but major hormonal change definately is risky.
I wanted to have underarm laser hair removal and was about to schedule it during the colder season. But a friend said she kinda regrets hers because it made her sweat more. So it's a choice between hairy pits or sweaty ones. 😅
It’s so important to know hormones have a lot to do with your results as well - I have PCOS so I have hormonal hair growth on my face, even with 10 treatments after a few years it was coming in thick again and I needed to get another round of 8-10 treatments. That being said I LOVE laser hair removal and suggest it to everyone I can, just make sure you do your research and ensure you ask questions to establish expectations.
I had six sessions in 2006. I was almost totally hairless in the areas I got done, other than the odd one here and there. Like two in one armpit, a few scattered around the inner edge of the labia majora, etc. I'm very happy with it
If you have hirsutism you know this isn’t true. Such a massive improvement and boost in confidence. I personally had Cushings Disease, but is common in those with PCOS or any androgen excess.
FACTS. Did 6 sessions over the course of about a year... 5 years later, I still get regrowth, but it's like a hair every inch-and-a-half, and the hair is super thin. Also, many places do retouches for significantly less than a single session
Best money I ever spent, and I'm biracial and caramel toned. Only thing that didn't work was my upper lip area, but underarms and Brazilian worked wonders for me.
Laser hair removal works. I got the whole body done. Little bit hair does grow back and you can for top up sessions but they are so minor you won’t even bother and just shave them periodically.
I've had a few brown ppl tell me the hair comes back after a few years. Its something to do with they can't turn the laser to full strength because of the pigment in our skin is not contrasting enough when compared to the hair. So i never got it done
I had my groin and underarms done and it’s been about 4 years since my last treatment. It definitely still grows but it’s not nearly as thick and grows slower. Much more manageable and well worth it.
I went through insanely painful laser hair removal. The practitioner failed to use the self-cooling function. It was literally like having a red hot iron held on my leg over and over for 60 seconds at a time. I had 2 full treatments with zero lasting results. I should have had 3, but I also should not have to shave every other day now. Save your money.
Yeah. 1) it takes a certain number of treatments at a minimum. Make sure you have enough treatments. 2) it is effective on dark 'adult' hairs, vellus hairs 'baby hairs' are not well affected by laser since they lack the pigmentation necessary for the laser to be effective. 3) laser decreases hair density. This works by continually damaging each follicle, which leads to their destruction over repeat treatments. This means lighters hairs and eventual reduction in hairs. Again, it's necessary to have enough treatments to ensure the effects. 4) new hairs can still grow. Some places have lifetime policies to get additional treatment. Hormone changes can lead to new hair growth. This isn't a failure of laser. Laser is not 4D. It only addresses what is there. New hair growth is typically minimal, if it's a lot, then it might be recommended to talk qith an endocrinologist.
I am 24 and just started doing laser hair removal. It’s definitely worth it for me. The place the I go says this could happen and they actually offer guarantee , so if you do see hairs growing back they do unlimited free touchup after your treatment is done
whatever you said is right. PPl who choose to get laser hair removal are not aware of this. They just think investing a certain amount will not make hair grow back. There needs to be awareness of what to expect before enrolling in it.
I got my lower legs done over ten years ago (Groupon 6 treatments FOR $350… amazing) and I have barely any hair on them still. Yes I still have to shave but that’s only because I haven’t gone back to get them touched up. If I decide to do that (I will), I’m sure my legs will be hairless completely probably for another 10+ years. Best $350 I’ve ever spent, honestly.
I had the same experience with waxing. Had that done for 10 years, every 6 weeks. Now I have so little hair left that passing a razor over those areas, once every 8 weeks or so is all that’s needed if I want absolutely no hair.
I got laser on my full legs, Brazilian, and armpits and don’t regret any of it. Yes I’m not completely hairless. But the amount of hair I don’t have the ease of upkeep is worth it to me. I use an epilator in the shower for my pits and Brazilian and within a min I’m hairless again, until whenever. My last treatment was may of 2022, and the place I went to has unlimited touch ups for life. Yes I paid a pretty penny, an extremely rare pretty penny🙂. But it’s paid off, I’m done, and don’t regret it.
I haven’t lasered my armpit hair since my mid 20s (currently now 30s) and while I still have a bit of hair left, it still significantly less than what I had started with. Laser hair removal often does work but it maybe take a while and lower one’s expectations on the results. I did fine mainly because I have a light complexion and super dark hair (aka East Asian).
I got a for life bundle, so I’m not worried abt needing touch ups in the future. It was very expensive but I love it I don’t even remember what my hair used to look like lol and it was really thick. I got it done for sensory reasons as much as cosmetic. Haven’t had a session in a year right now and what little hair I have is pretty invisible
Got laser at Milan which has locations nationwide and guarantees a lifetime of hair free living - if ever you have any hairs pop up on an area you paid for, ever, they’ll do free retouching. Laser is fantastic.
I actually do electrolysis because my hair is very thick but heave my warning. I've been going for several years.Because my first electrolysis was plucking hair and made the situation worse then I found electrolysis that does it right. Now instead of coming every week now I come every couple of months to get touched up. Hair growth to change with hormones or if you take antibiotics.
I’ve tried a little bit of lazer (not full treatment) and IPL device I have at home. All effects have been temporary. I find the appointments to be too stressful and time consuming. I just use a trimmer now for everything because I get ingrown hairs from all other options. The creams also can’t dissolve my hair. 😅
I did my underarms laser removal more than 5 yrs ago and dont have any hair regrowth so i’m super happy about it😊 i heard that it works better on people with dark hair color tho
Still the best investment...did my bikini lower legs and underarms 15 years ago and lower legs have to do it once every 3 years. Underarms once or twice a year and bikini never looked back 😊
Yes!! I’m a laser tech & tell people it’s permanent hair REDUCTION. Permanent removal is called Electrolysis. I educate my clients and let them know they’ll need touch ups through out life. Also please don’t ask your laser tech to laser your peach fuzz it will not work, in some cases you’ll ended up getting paradoxical hypertrichosis (meaning you’ll grow hair in areas that didn’t have hair before). Laser also doesn’t work on blonde, grey, white & red hair……don’t let them take your $$$
Laser hair removal is really the best way to remove hair, i had really thick dark hair on my legs and i had about 7 sessions of laser hair removal and now I don’t even shave anymore and the chiken bumpy skin is now very smooth
Being a hairy middle eastern girl, laser hair removal was the best investment I made for myself, I don’t know what the long term health risks are if there are any. I was doing SEV for a bit, loved how painless it was, hated how expensive it was and going every month not seeing results. Found a doctor that does it in her clinic now I go once every 3-5months, she pushes for 5 l, depending on occasion, weather, etc I do it earlier☺️ hurts like a bitch (I use lidocaine for numbing and pain relief) if I don’t apply the numbing properly, but worth it. hope that helps anyone 💜
I'll get laser hair removal this year or next year depending on other treatments that I might wanna get first. Please make a detailed video on laser hair removal for different skin tones.
For any girlies🎀who had laser hair removal I am curious to know if your hair grew back when pregnant? I want to get laser hair removal but also want kids in the future, I would just like to know what to expect. Thank you. 💖
