    Question Laser Hair Removel. Does it grow back after Pregnancy?

    Hi ladies.
    So I want to get laser hair removal, but a friend told me that when she had it done it all grew back after her pregnancy. She said her OB/GYN told her it was from her fluctuating hormones and that hair growth is related to hormone production. My question is has anyone else had this experience? I'm wondering if it happens to lots of women or just some. Because if it happens frequently then I can't see spending several thousand dollars on something that won't last me very long. Thanks Ladies!

    Yes. It can- but doesn't always. I'm in the process of getting most of my body lasered. They warned me that if I ever have hormonal changes (such as pregnancy) that I might need to come back for touch ups. But, this can happen anyway! There is no such thing as permanent laser hair removal, and it is illegal to call it such. Only laser hair reduction. I found a place that when I bought a package they guaranteed free touch ups for life. I can also go to any of their other clinics (all over US) in case I move or they move for only $20 a session. Not bad!!

    I laser hair removal done on my abs which costed about $120 AUD
    the hair took about 2 months to regrow and become visible again

    apparently I needed about 4-5 treatments before the hairs went away for good
    It did permanently remove some hair follicles so you are always going to have slightly less hair after each treatment.

    Ironically the abs were the cheapest treatment at $120
    chest for guys is about $360
    forearms about $140 I think
    legs... $750 per leg!!! so thats $1500 for legs
    back is about $300.. thank heavens I don't have hair there
    face is about $130

    Do the maths it would workout to $6,000+ to have all your hair permanently removed.
    I think its a longterm investment you make in yourself because nomore waxing, nomore ingrowns - the beauty of laser hair removal, and nomore shaving.

    Remember I quoted you male prices which is always going to be more expensive as there is more hair to remove but I'm guessing its still going to cost you at least over 1k US to have everything done or maybe more. I don't know how much body hair you have lol

    Yeah, I know about the pain. I had two sessions a couple years ago but didn't keep it up. It's way more painful than any tattoo and I have one whole side of my ribcage done!

    As far as the company you are talking about, is it American Laser Centers?

    No. It is called Ideal Image. I would recommend them to anyone.

    I have tats, too and totally agree that it hurts way more!

    About what Lucifer said, in US dollars for a woman to have face (lip, between eye brows, etc), arms, legs, brazilian, underarms, basically full body is around $8000. This being the high range, for the kinds of places that guarantee that you can always come back if the hair does. I paid $2200 for underarms, brazilian bikini and the area between my eyebrows.

    yep forgot to include brazilian, underarms etc
    I highly recommend you visit several clinics in person and speak to the doctors and technicians to run you through the process.

    If you definately want to go through the procedure.. try and do the procedure in a way where they will give you good discounts. I'm a regular at my clinic.. I've had dermabrasion, laser hair removal etc and try to get to know the owner of the business... I've had a few hundred dollars knocked off the procedure prices.

    Because of the expensiveness of the laser hair removal they don't exactly have massive bookings on their calenders so they need customers to stay afloat. Some of those clinics are damn addictive too.. can burn a hole in your pocket pretty quickly
