Laser hair removal on face ....advice please or I am going to start shaving soon (am a sad hairy lady)

[megcleary]

Has any one had it done, is it worth it? I have bleached depleted, waxed,threaded and plucked for years now and it is getting me down now. Whatever I do I have stubble the next day nothing lasts. Advise please....

I've finally done my lower legs... I've had six sessions, next ones will be free.
I'm very hairy and my lower legs were a disaster area: lots of hair, bumps, ingrowing hair... a nightmare.
They are finally smooth and there are only a few hair left.

And I want to thank my parents (who probably have been feeling very guilty for the financial help!

supersal - My skin test was just three buzzes at different intensities, and then she said I could come back in 4 days to start treatment, assuming no adverse reaction.

Going Friday, not tomorrow as I said before.

Hi hully - so now the secret's out - i bear more relation to my fictional alter-ego that previously imagined ...

There's nothing wrong with a nice beard, James.

James Beard, lovely man.

I have just worked out who you are "Umami" !

Stop following me around ! (not really). I just makes me feel guilty about having run out of creative juices on the Other Thread, and yet not wanting to be quite left out ...

Come 'n have a grope...

Is there no thread we are not prepared to pervert ?

Sorry for hijack everyone else

No. None are safe from our wandering hands and beady eyes.

I had this problem for years and have used a little gadget spring thing from this page for a few years and have never looked back.

It may not be for everyone but it literally changed my life. I missed so many social occasions and even days off work over the years.. due to my face being in such a state with either waxing or bleaching my skin was just too sensitive for these things.

I use it for a couple of minutes once or twice a week and I don`t even give the problem a second thought now.

You have worked out who I am, James?
Who am I? Who am I-iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii? I'm Jean Valjean!

(Think of it not as a hijack, but as a bump, OP!)

I think she meant she's just recognised you from Olympus...

It's the "inverted commas" - they intrigueth me....

Are you not "CheerfulYank" ?

No she not. Her live in Hengland.

Why would you believe that? I do say 'Mom" but that is a West Midlands thing!

Oh - it was simply that CheerfulYank was on that thread before, and then the James Beard (American) reference.

Aha! I see! We should hunt her down and draw her back in!

Great sal !

My oldest is sick so I can't go today

bumping this to say - have had one treatment and it is really working !

This is so timely - I have a tiny bit of cash squirreled away and have been thinking about sorting out my chin in time for my 40th birthday. I am now spending so much time plucking, my husband is quicker at making his face hair-free than I am.

Is everyone happy with sk:n clinics - they seem to be the one nearest to me.

I had 6 sessions for my lip and chin, some of the best money I've ever spent, really happy with the results.

Duchess - I'm happy. I'm going again next week. I've paid for 6 sessions, which is what they think it will need, because the hairs are all at different growth phases, but I'm not sure if I'll need all that at this rate.

I'll need to ask them if I can get a refund - or hair removed from somewhere else - if so.

booge - did you get a really good result straight away, but then need all 6 in the end ?
