    Default Laser hair removal, updated.

    Well I went for the treatment today, and it was... not fun, but I'm not dead either. It hurts worse the further down you go (which makes sense). Anyway little things I made a note of...

    1) This particular place used a lightsheer laser. Seemed decent. Apparently she kicked it up to low 40's for me. I noticed. heh

    2) Laser hair removal doesn't work well on natural redheads or blondes. Sometimes it doesn't work at all on them. It also doesn't work well for tanned or dark skinned individuals.

    3) They apparently (at least this place) shave you when you get there, so they get a good idea of where to mark you beforehand, and where the hair is growing back on subsequent treatments.

    4) It reminds me of a tattoo. Sucks, then feels like a sunburn afterwards.

    5) I was told they're not allowed to do a full brazillian because lasers easily damage mucous membranes, so they do not do the actual labia. They'll get as close as they can without doing them. They will take it around the back however. No mucous membranes in your butt crack. Speaking of which, lasering your tailbone doesn't feel good at all. Not at all.

    6) I don't think it feels like hot rubber bands snapping you. I think it feels like a hot lazer zapping your skin causing hair follicles to basically explode beneath the skin. Which is funny because that's actually whats basically going on.

    7) They can't laser over tattoos (unless you want your tattoo removed, in which case theyd probably charge you extra). hehe.

    My treatments are 350 each. I was told most people need only 3-4 treatments in this area. And then maybe a touchup every 1-2 years.

    Ouch though. I almost shot myself off the table a few times. =/

    They use a cooling gel... and it hurts! You have to go for three I think? (I haven't finished mine, only twice for me) It's like rubber bands snapping against your skin over and over... of course, when it's all said and done, you'll never have to deal with the shaving and waxing again!
    If you think school is hard, try being stupid.

    Are the results worth it? I have thought about getting this done too. I mean I'd love it all over but it's not cheap and if I have to pick an area to not have to shave I'm picking "down there."

    My friend had it done under her arms. She didn't even go on cycle, but it still did wonders for her.

    You might want to find a place with varying price. Like the first place I contacted said 400 each treatment. No if's and's or but's. Sounded weird to me. I finally contacted a place in Richmond, VA... which is quite a drive for me! But they agreed to have the consultation and the treatment on the same day. They told me the cost was between 250 and 400 depending on what areas were treated (whole patch area, or leave a strip, etc, whether you want it down the thigh a little or not, whether you want to bring it around to the anus).

    Haha I ended up answering more questions in this thread...

    Anyway they told me to keep it long, but apparently that's because I'm driving a distance, and they want me to explain what parts I want done which is easier to do with the hair showing obviously. Otherwise I'm pretty sure they ask you to shave first before you come in. They'd tell you during the consultation though.
