WTF... early this day a friend told me that she had laser hair removal and we talked about it a bit and I had my iPhone close to me and now I get THIS in my recommendation even tho I rarely watch selfcare videos! Beware... your phone is listening to you!
I had my first session today. It felt like someone plucking my hairs with a warm tweezer, but much faster of course. It was more bearable than I thought it would be
I have been getting laser hair removal since May and the results are amazing! I have literally forgotten how to shave and it's awesome. Lisette, I totally recommend it for your face and of course other body areas. It's pretty good and it saves a lot of your time! Love ya xx ❤️
Omg thanks for sharing an accurate laser hair removal story. My first session getting a Brazilian last hair removal was soooo incredibly painful! Nothing like the “rubber band zap” people say. & I had been waxing for years and have a decent pain tolerance. The second session using numbing cream helped tremendously.
I just got my first today and I agree! I think it’s more of a burning zap lol deff a little more intense than a “rubber band zap” but the nurse lowered the setting and I felt nothing after. Still better than waxing imo
Yes girl I feel you. Just got it done for the first time yesterday. It literally feels like a flat iron on your skin for 60 seconds. I had to hold my breath because it was painful. 7/10 is about right.
I tried laser and i am on my third treatment now. I really love it! I was so scared and i always thought it was too expensive but it was the best decision for me. It does hurt a little bit but being hair free is so worth it!😍
Whole body laser gal here 👋🏼 I've has 2 sessions so far and I have already seen amazing results! It's painful but quick and definately tolerable if you just grin and bear it. I highly recommend!
I’ve got a condition which makes hair grow on my lower back and I haven’t had laser treatment bc I’m too scared 😖 but this video really comforted me for the future thank you! ❤️🧡💛💚💖
Girl that was my experience as well, I cried as well, I thought it was so painful!!! Two of my girlfriends went to the same place I went to and they said it didn’t hurt for them. My back would be so sweaty by the time i was done with my appointments. I applied numbing cream and took ibuprofen as well and it still hurt but not as much. Anyways, it’s been 6 years since I finished my treatments, I still get it touched up once a year and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself!!! I want to get more areas done now but I don’t want to relive that pain again. Funny thing is, I gave birth to 2 children and id rather give birth than get my hair laser treated 🤣
Hi :) Unfortunately I didn't have as good an experience as you when I got mine done in 2015. I got the full course of treatment, and obeyed all the rules. While I was getting it done the hair was definitely reducing and thinning, but I don't think it ever disappeared completely. Then about 6 months after finishing my course (and around £400 down) my hair had all grown back and now it's still relatively thick and dark. I can say my hair might be slightly thinner, but that is the only difference. I got mine done with Nuffield health and sent them pictures to complain about a year after, but they just said that I have to be prepared for that to happen and may have to keep getting it every now and again for the rest of my life! I wish I had seen something like this before I got laser hair removal, as, although the majority appear to have a good experience with it, I would only recommend doing it if you are in the financial position to part with that much money and realise that it might be a waste! Sorry to be a downer :(
It’s so comforting to see that someone else experienced the same as me.. my first session I was literally screaming because it felt like someone was holding a lighter up against my skin. I got my legs done first but was considering doing a Brazilian and girl, right now I’m just so scared to ! Lol I’m wondering if the doc has the oldest version of this because I hear everyone saying it’s a 3/10 for pain and for me it was 1000/10 lol
it doesn't for everyone lol. i did 9 sessions and it grew back. I'm so disappointed. cause it was a lot of money but I guess that's because I have a hormonal unbalance :((
Alex I think you should balance your hormones that will also reduce a whole lot amount of body hair. P.S I suffer from PCOS and my doctor suggested I regulate my hormones first and then go for laser (if I still do need it)
what do you take to regulate your hormones for PCOS? I have recently been diagnosed so I'm still not too familiar with my options since my doctor doesn't seem to want to prescribe me a certain birth control to help with balancing my hormones. I've asked 3 times and she says she'll put in my prescription but has never done it, and its pretty fucking annoying to say the least.
Ive received almost 12 sessions of full body laser hair removal and honestly it was the best decision in my life. Now my hair still grows but very very fine so I’m doing one session every 8 months
I have my first treatment tomorrow and I am so nervous I've been up watching videos for an hour (it's 3am) and your video calmed me down SO MUCH thank you!!! Thank you thank you!
Thanks for being so real about it! Most influencers who get paid for it will tell you that it doesn’t hurt at all and that the hairs disappear after the first session 😂 i get laser hair removal done and know for a fact that it’s not true what they’ll tell you, so thank you for being honest ❤️
Believe me, I have laser hair removal on my legs and brazillian, and it absolutely KILLS - even with cold air! Worst pain I've ever experienced but so worth it
Why are you not famous yet? You are so beautiful and have such a warm and friendly way of speaking on camera that makes me feel like a friend is explaining something to me instead of someone I’ve never met before. Also, your video was very informative and was the perfect balance of medical information and personal experience in a way that people can understand.
My niece got laser hair removal on her legs, underarms, lip and bikini approximately 6 years ago. All of the hair has grown back. It is much lighter than before but just realize, it does not last forever.
Your channel is a life saver! So informative and encouraging. I’m only in high school, but you’re helping me be a more responsible, self sustained, independent person!!!! ❤️
Jazlynn Carmickel she changed its a few months ago I think and she wanted to see how it looked without the xo and she couldn't get it to change back and she changed her Twitter and Instagram to match her name here
I love her so much wow. You can see from her videos how kind her heart is even though she doesn't try and convince us to think that. She's never in RU-vid drama and is very responsible and also so beautiful.
I'm really considering laser and this video was the most helpful I've found. I'm grateful that you didn't lie, because... yeah, people say it's painless but that's just...not possible because science! At least a small amount of pain would happen. Great tips and thanks a lot for sharing!
This was a nice video! Since I'm "done" with laser hair removal and doing a follow up review, one tip I have is to avoid exfoliating too much after the treatment. It's tempting to pull the hair out or scrub it to help get the hair out on your own, but it's best to let it fall out by itself as much as possible. You don't want to disrupt the normal growth phase of your hair since that dictates the timing of your next treatment. I'm sorry it hurt, too. Should try to brace for it though, because once you get around to your final sessions and they turn the laser up, it's definitely more painful; especially on those areas as I've had them done myself. Good luck with the rest of your treatments!
I like how detailed you explained the pain! That helps a lot lol. How long does it typically take to sit through getting the bikini/Brazilian area done? 😖
Luhhsetty Had my patch test done on bikini area, leg and armpit my gosh the bikini area hurt the most. I wasn’t it expecting it to be bad see my leg was bearable. The pain was defo like a 7 and lasts for like two seconds tho
@@Luhhsetty thank you so much doll for sharing your experience? I heard it's not permanent but significantly reduces the coarseness and regrowth. Are you still happy with the long term results and do u have to go back for touch ups?
I didn't smell burning hair when I did it, but the first time felt like needles being repeatedly stabbed into my skin. The lady who has been doing mine doing mine is also very patient with me.
Hi Lisette! I haven't really though of getting laser removal done not the fact that its painfull but the fact that i'm only 13, so if I was to get it done in the furture I would get it done on the underarm hairs. Anyways love you always, I feel like your just always there for me because I look up to you because your just so perfect! ♡
@@lorrainehernandez6984 I'm 17 and I'm getting it done. Age doesn't really play a part in whether it works or not. My dermatologist has been recommending laser to me since I was like 12, so it doesn't really matter as long as you can handle it.
Pretty accurate review! I got the same areas done and I’ve cried a few times too. I’m about 10 treatments in and it’s almost completely gone. My only concern is that it may grow back after pregnancy due to hormone fluctuations.
Hey! I want to share my experience on laser hair removal. So, I started getting this when I was 15, but then I started taking medication that was photosensible, so I had to stop the laser treatment. Finally, like seven months later (I was 16 already), I continued with the laser hair removal. For me, it did hurt as the intensity of the laser went up; even though I had the cold air. The first sessions (when I was still 15) didn't hurt at all, it just felt hot and some pinches in the area (mustache area). The sessions were 8 in total plus a retouch one. I did see results; the hair was thinner, the hair regrowth time was longer. However, they told that because of my age, the hair will continue to grow, so I had to keep doing the laser. Since your body stops growing and developing until the age of 20 or so, I decided not to keep doing the laser hair removal; that would cost a lot jaja. So, until I turn 20, I'm going to wax my mustache and then I'll the laser hair removal again.
Oh my gosh. When you were talking about your painful first experience it reminded of the time I had my arm pit waxed improperly. The woman didn't tell me my hairs were too short and it was my first time. She double waxed and burnt my armpit and it was soo painful I felt like I was going to throw up for an hour afterwards. I had burn marks for over a week. It was awful.
I just came accross your channel and watched the video because i’m also in the laser hair removal process... I would say that your description of it is very accurate, I’ve been four times now and I see significant resaults but it is the most painful thing ever! But totally worth it 💁🏼♀️ I really like your honesty and openness, definetely subscriping and looking forward to watching more helpful videos ☺️
first, you look beautiful! second, how do you know where to go, like what's a good place, what questions should I ask? I don't want to go to a bad place and get poor results
This is my opinion on laser. I feel like her pain tolerance is very low, as is mine but she explained how it was quite painful when it wasn't. I'm 14 and i got my under arms lasered and it hardly hurt. It was by far much less painful than waxing. I highly reccomend it and the pain is nothing to worry about.
They can use stronger setting for my armpits and legs and I am relatively OK. For my bikini/Brazilian area, they need to use a lower setting and I still ask them to stop every now and then so I can get through it. I even cried once because it was that painful.
Laser is only FDA approved for permanent hair reduction, NOT elimination. Electrolysis is the only approved permanent hair elimination technique out there. I have worked on many clients who got laser only to have the hairs regrow years later. Also if you are thinking of getting laser for facial hair be warned that you stand about a 50/50 shot of it actually stimulating more growth. Best wishes on your hair loss journey!
The more growth is because you forget how much it was, and age also tends to worsen the problem It doesn't say it is permanent. Just permanent as in permanent hair dye, or make up. Just takes a lot longer to grow back each time. To yeah the point where you are a few years hair free instead of shaving every/every other day. It will EVENTUALLY grow back. And then you'll have to do it again. (Or catch it early and do it one time again) like eventually you'll have that there is 6months between treatment. It is approved. Hell you can even do it with less powerful ones at home. It's just infrared light. The only reason electrolosys is the only one approved for permanent is because it is the only one that also removes the follicles. It doesn't claim to reduce hair follicles. Only reduce hair growth. Your clients just didn't understand what it ment in the first plave or misremembered. Cause it is so expensive. That's why i am on the team of buying your own machine, cause then you can do it again when you have to. And is cheaper overall.
@@dutchik5107 those machines don't work on everyone though. Can't use them if your hair is naturally blonde, red or grey. Also doesnt work on dark skin.
@@goddesst I know. But that doesn't mean it was ever claimed to be for elimination. Which is what my point was. It's not like companies are hiding the fact that it doesn't work on blond hair. Or not as suitable for dark skinned individuals. But if you are blonde, does it really matter? Cause your hair is invisible anyways!
@@goddesst with how it works they cannot make it inclusively work the same and just as well. Doesnt mean they shouldn't sell it. The limitation is just physics.
. Youre literally the prettiest human being ever 😍😍😍 i have been wanting to get laser for awhile i feel like even tho its kinda expensive, youll save more money in the long run. No more buying razers and shaving cream. Or at least not buying as much of it. My leg hairs will never be dark enough to get lasered. No matter how many times i shave :(
alyssa galloway I've been getting it done the last year. I originally got a Groupon for 6 sessions (I DEF recommend getting these first). Once I finished those sessions each session (bikini & arm pits) were $89.... so getting a Groupon is the best bet. Hope that helps!
Courtney Carroll thanks!! This did help I live in Sacramento,CA and the ones near me are pretty much sold out. I never thought to look on Groupon but I will now!
I have a high pain tolerance, & even I had to ask for ice packs. They can place ice packs on the areas before they lazer you. It made my pain go from a 7-8 to me not being able to feel the lazer 75% of the time & only reaching a max pain level of a 3-4 the other 25% of the time.
Hiii girl im also getting your areas plus legs done, i have very dark and thick hairs. The ibuprofen works really really well, i noticed a huge difference, i didnt even feel it with medication. I didnt know about the 12 hour lotion thing and the exfoliation part, mine just fall out lol. Good luck with the rest of your treatment!!!
I've used Tria. It def feels like a hard flick. But, you control the setting. I used on underarm & bikini area. When I was using it religiously I noticed the hair growth was slow. I recommend anyone getting it if they want to do it in their-own-home. I wouldn't mind going to actually getting it done though 🤔
Thank you for your time and effort to make this video, you explained it better than anyone but you didn't talk about the price .I appreciate it and thank you
I'm blonde with pale skin. I really want laser hair removal, but I don't think my natural body hair is dark enough. :( Most of my body hair is literally clear. The areas I shave are a darker blonde color. Hopefully, someday they come up with a way to treat finer, lighter hair!
Blonde body hair is not that noticeable and not a big deal. Its kinda cute actually. I've seen many girls with light arm hair, its kinda cute, lol. As long as the hair isn't super coarse and dark, its fine. You sound find, no laser needed.
I'm sorry you got hurt during your appointment. My experience was not like that at all. I believe for me the feeling can be compared to.. accidentally burning your thumb when lighting a lighter - but half of that pain. And it is indeed quick.
Just got my under arms, lower legs and Brazilian done for the first time all at once. The first couple of shocks I didn't feel. After that it was a small burn like a little prick. I have a low pain tolerance so I was so nervous. It wasn't that bad. Some areas were super sensitive so it made me jump. The center of my armpits and the dead center of my shin was the worst, but it wasn't unbearable. The top part of my biking area was SUPER sensitive. Make sure you shave as close as your nerves can handle- hair makes the burn more intense. But yea, I agree the quick ripping pain is a good comparison!!! It's different but it's a cool experience!!
YESSS finally someone is telling us the truth! I went to my first laser on the brazillian thinking it wouldn't hurt cos EVERYONE said it didn't hurt. Influencers, even the therapist told me it didn't hurt! At first they did my underarm. Didn't feel anything much, so thought I would experience the same thing on the brazillian area. But boy IT IS EXACTLY HOW YOU DESCRIBED. IT'S LIKE SOMEONE TOOK A HOT KNIFE AND SLICED ME WITH THAT! With that experience (and feeling so pissed off because everyone said it didn't hurt), I just did laser on my underarm and continued waxing on brazillian. I WILL NEVER GO THROUGH LASER HAIR REMOVAL ON MY BRAZILLIAN EVER AGAIN!
GURL!!! i use gentle laser for my legs cause i have light skin BUT because my hair is SO THICK it hurts soooo much. it is so painful to the point where i make crying sounds and i start tearing up and the women who did the treatment for me said that the reason why it hurts me so much is due to how thick my hair is. the thicker your hair is the more painful it will feel.
I get my brazillian waxed but I found a great groupon to get a large area laser removed. Im getting my lower legs done because whenever my hair grows back after shaving, i scratch my legs until they bleed because my hair is soo thick. Thanks for the video! 😊
Not to scare anyone, but honestly don't understand how laser hair removal cannot hurt! My first session was terrible! It felt like someone was putting needles in every follicle and then starting a fire right at the roots of it. I was literally screaming haha but it was totally worth it! The second, third etc did not hurt at all compared to the first one. I am on my 5th session and honestly cannot feel anything anymore! Totally worth it :)
I'm getting laser hair removal and i love it. Where i do it they put an ice cold gel on your skin and then they just wipe the laser across your skin multiple times. The outside part of the laser is cold so because of that and the gel i barely feel a thing. It takes multiple appointments but it has been totally worth it😊😊😊
I have spent months researching top natural treatment for hair removal and found a great resource at Dravin Remover Guide (google it if you're interested)
Im getting another type of hair removal but for my facial hair and it is not working for me because of my hormones. So I would say that it is really important to verify if you have hormone problems before doing any kind of hair removal! It is interesting to hear your experience! xx
I did my full body and didn’t feel a thing except for lower legs from the calf down. I did needed anti-inflammatory after leg session. I felt Brazilian wax was way more painful, like 300% more painful than laser. I even shed my skin after waxing, something that never happened with laser.
