It's not as painful as other methods and gives better results. Laser hair removal works the best. It’s not as painful as other methods and gives better results.

It almost removed the hair 100% and has saved me so much time. I would recommend it to anyone. One of the best decisions of my life was to have laser hair removal on my legs and under arms.

I have always been quite embarrassed about how much hair I had on my back, but I didn't really know there was actually something I could do about it. Now that I completed the laser hair removal treatments, the hair on my back is gone and I don't have to worry about it at all. And now I just feel like one of the lucky men who never had any back hair. I’m glad that a friend of mine told me about the laser hair removal technique.

Sounds painful, doesn't it? Well, it IS. It works for me, though. And, in conjunction with this, I use the prescription cream "Vaniqa." Vaniqa is prescribed only for the face, and that's the only place you want to use it since it's not covered by insurance and it's frinkin expensive. It takes about 6 - 8 weeks for the growth retardent to really work, and then you won't need the epilator except for very, very rare touchups. As for the rest of the body - the more you use it, the less painful it becomes. Partly because you get used to it, and partly because there are less and less hairs to pluck. Aside from my face, I also use it on my legs, underarms, breasts, bikini line, and stomach. The first few times I used it, when the hair would grow back (after about one - two weeks), it came back in the same density. But after several months of use, my hair - even the dreaded bikini line, which is super thick - grows in much more sparse and takes much longer to get that way. And of course, shaving in between the plucking is very fast and easy. If you don't mind the pain, you'll see the gain!
