Anyone tried it? Is it worth it? Did you get results? Bikini area! TIA

I've not tried laser but I've just had session 5 of IPL, following the Brazilian line. Most of it was gone from my bikini line from session 2 onwards. I hardly feel the bikini line at all but the underneath bits sting like anything so we're taking those slower. The 'done' bits are completely smooth. No rash, stubble or redness but it does itch crazily a week or 2 afterwards.

I’ve just booked myself in for bikini and legs for laser. I have PCOS and after having my daughter I had insane hair growth on my face, chin, jawline, neck etc. Anyway… I started laser earlier this year, February I think it was and I have probably 95% permanent hair reduction. I still have 3 more sessions booked but I would highly recommend it. I’ve been told it’s best on people with very dark hair and pale skin. Laser isn’t as effective on blonde / light hair on your legs etc but it works well with dark hair. Do your homework on it though as the first place I went to for a consultation looked the business from its instagram / Facebook page but when I got there it just didn’t feel right. It was all very lax , tried to get me to buy other treatments they did there like Botox, filler, teeth whitening etc. The laser was very painful to my skin and it felt like the person doing it didn’t have a clue. The place I stayed with was more medical, nurses working at the clinic, well established etc. I have to go through a medical questionnaire every single time to make sure nothing has changed since my last appointment. They know what level to use specifically for my skin and hair etc. I just feel like I’m in good hands and never have they ever pushed any sales on me etc, just really professional. Hope that helps :-)
