    Default I got my kitty LASERED!!!

    on a recent thread a bunch of us were discussing laser hair remover for the puss. i went in for my consultation on monday and had the 1st session done today!!! (about 6 sessions are needed for permanent hair removal)

    so... the experience was fine, the esthetitian (sp?) was nice and informative. i had all the hair lasered off except a small landing strip on the top. let me warn you--if you are thinking of gettin this done, know that this hurts REALLY BAD!!! if you have a low tolerance for pain i would think twice about doing this. i have a good tolerance, but i was still clenching my fists until my knuckles turned white!! wow. i just got back from the spa right now, so this is fresh in my mind. i am going to follow through and finish the treatment so i never have to shave again. just letting you girls know how it went.

    Wow! Did it hurt like waxing? How long did the hair have to be before they could laser it? Can the laser be used "where the sun don't shine"?

    Yea! I have an appt. on monday to go. I thought you only needed 3 treatments? Didn't they use a topical anithetic on you? Exactly how bad did it hurt? I used to get brazialians and they didn't really hurt, do you think I'll be okay? And, just checking, how much did you pay? I'm paying $200 a treatment... for like 2 treatments.

    i paid 500 for the first treatment (!!!) but with every treatment after this, it is discounted; i think it's 20% off the next time, then 30% off, then 40% off, and so on. the laser they used on me was the GentleLase. i know i need probably 6 treatments, so Bella, maybe my people are using a different laser? that is cool that you only need 2 treatments though! no they did not use any kind of anisthetic on me. bella do you know what kind of laser they are using?

    house girl: i dont know if the pain is comparable to waxing because i've never waxed. i've always just shaved it all.

    i talked to a girl that had it done before. she said it took her 6 treatments, and she had them about a month apart. she said that her hair started growing back slightly before she was due to have another treatment, and then she would go get lasered again and it would be mostly gone for another month, so she was pretty much hair-free during the treatment, and obviously now that her treatment is done she NEVER shaves. ahhhhhhh. i cant wait!!

    good luck bella!!

    Sorry, I have no idea what kind. The receptionist said that people rarely need three so maybe it's just a harsher laser? Did you get EVERYTHING off? I think $500 is THE most that the treatments go for, maybe you just went to a really ritzy place? One more question okay, 2... did the hair just fall off when they lasered it? How long did it take for any redness or swelling to go down so you could work again? I'm so jealous you already got it done! I can't wait!

    well i did go to a upscale spa so maybe that's it. i got everything off except a small, Plaboy-like-landing strip. the esthetitian said the hair will fall out of the follicles in a few days, it will fall out faster if i exfoliate the area. yeah i got it done, but i still have 5 treatments to go!! my "area" was a bit red immediately afterwards, but now it looks fine-it looks like i just shaved. i didnt have any swelling at all!!! i could totally go to work tonight- but i dont usually work on wednsdays.

    Bella please let me know how the pain is comparable to waxing. I am very interested in getting it lasered off as to not have to deal with it any more but I am very curious to find out if it hurts more, the same, or less then waxing.

    hey i just got underarms and all of my hair down there laserd off. it hurts a little bit more that waxing, and it hurts even more if you are on your period because the skin is more sensitive. you are supposed to shave at least 24 hours before your treatment so that you have a little bit of stubble....i paid a full price that includes all of the treatments, 5 spaced 10weeks apart....the hair is supposed to fall out in like a week...and you are not supposed to expose the area that you have lasered to the sun....cant wait until my next treatment...it does hurt but it is soooo worth it

    it hurts as much as a brazilian. they say it feels like a flicking rubber band. yeah, if you're talking about one of those fat postal rubber bands made of fire! (especially on the VERY delicate bits).

    i had about 5 or 6 sessions then got jack of it because there was no way in hell that it was going to be permanent. it was the latest laser... disappointing. it may have weakened the hair somewhat but in reality i'm still going off to see my waxing girl every few weeks.

    sigh.

    when will they invent the kitty bomb that just instantly causes the hair to all fall out forever??

    My laser girl always puts ice packs on me for at least 10 minutes before she starts. She cranks the power way up and I can barely feel it.
