Laser/permanent hair removal - anyone had any success???

Hi ladies,

I once tried one session with laser removal like a 'trial' it still cost me £150 and took about 45 mins. The lady said it would take at least 10 sessions to remove the hair from my legs at £100 a time and there is no guarantee it will be all gone. This was years ago, and after years of only waxing or epilating and getting blooming annoyed with it and my husband getting annoyed with how long it takes me to do it, I went back to shaving. Mistake, as now I have prickly irritated, uncomfortable legs. So I either go full feminism/hippy and say sod it I'm a mammal and I have hair on my legs and never wear shorts again as I'm not that brave, or I shell out for laser hair removal which looks like it's going to cost £1k with no guarantee of smooth legs

Does anyone have any experience of good hair removal??

It's one of the best things I've ever done. I wish I'd done it sooner. I'll be offering to pay for it for my daughter should she ever want it.

Read up on machines. Cynosure and Candela are the top brands for a reason. Plan on 6-7 visits over 18 months or so.

Had legs done at Skin. Life changing.
