shoppingbags' laser hair removal update (yes, I am so glamorous)

[deaconblue]

I now only have 2 hairs on my chin!!!! That's down from about 40 after just 3 treatments. The results are amazing. I'm going to be brave and sort the tache out next I think.

can you let us know about the upper lip? i have been considering it, not got much there but its bothering me.
what type of skin do you have? i have dark hair and fairly lighht skin.
sorry i hadnt seen your other thread.

i read on one of the locl salons website that they recommend you to shave two or three days prior, did you have to do this?

I have fairly dark skin and very black hair. I suspect it may not be quite so effective on my upper lip as the hair is a bit fairer than on my chin but even if it reduces by half I probably won't need to wax as often.
You have to stop waxing and plucking as the follicle needs to have hair inside it below the skin surface for the laser to lock onto. So I had to shave for 3 weeks before they would begin treatment and from then onwards although the need to shave reduced a bit after one treatment and significantly after the 2nd.
