I hope this is helpful. I’ve been having this treatment for about 4 years - I only came by it in my 60s and I love it. I do it for me not for a man! I like the feel of it and my swimsuits fit nicely. Above all it feels clean and fresh. If you have a good practitioner it doesn’t hurt - any mild discomfort definitely diminishes over time - so if you want it - have it!
