I remember you going for laser hair removal.
Have you completed the treatments? How many times did you? Did it hurt? Did it work? How much did it cost?
I am thinking about it.

Re: Melozia
I *thought* I was done about 6 months ago, but some pesky hairs have popped up so I made an appointment for next week to zap 'em! I can't recall the name of the specific type of laser they use but it's not the old kind, it's been around for about 5 years or so.
So far, I've gone for 8 treatments (each one lasts about 10 minutes). I pay $165/session and that covers laser treatments for my entire lower face (chin/jawline/upper lip/neck). I know it sounds pricey but, because you pay each session, and there is no set schedule that you have to follow, you can stretch it out so it's not such a whollop to the wallet.
It didn't hurt (take that with a grain of salt as I am covered in tattoos lol) but it felt like being snapped with an elastic band on the face. It smells gross, like burning hair so be prepared for that.
One thing I would suggest is taking a Tylenol or Advil before your treatment. Afterwards (especially after the first one) your face is quite raw feeling and a little tender. Go for a consult first. Luckily (???) my facial hair was dark so I was a great candidate for it, but my girlfriend has very light facial hair and it dioesn't work on that (dark hair attracts the laser, blonde doesn't).
Beauty is that, once a particular area is lasered, the hair that is actively growing there will never grow back. Any re-growth is new or previously dormant folicles.
Hope that helps
Thank you, that helps a lot.
I am pretty sure I am going to go ahead and go to a consult.
