What's it for?

Lots of things.
Excess hair,spider veins and sun damage,the latter being the reason i went for it.
I think I will go for the hair removal next if happy.

Funny you should ask that Moondog as I am seriously thinking of having it done for my spider veins (nice). In fact I was looking up clinics just last night.
You'll have to let us know how you get on...

I had it done on my face (for thread veins). Was v pricey (either £100 or £150 can't remember as it was a few years ago). Was VERY painful, made me cry, and I have to say not very effective. I have had much better results on facial thread veins with electrolyis with an experienced therapist (also painful but much less pricey). HTH...
