Laser Hair Removal
  • I'm interested in laser hair removal, but in doing research on it, I'm overwhelmed by the number of options and claims different places offer. Seems like many different places offer different types of lasers that they claim are the best. Also, they vary in the number of treatments you need and the pricing of treatments. Do you have suggestions on the best way to choose?
  • I gave laser a second try after an unsuccesful first treatment. This time I found a dermatologist that uses the right tools. If you don't see results by the second session, then it's not working. Also, the machine used and your hair type will determine how well it might work. The darker and thicker the hair, the more effective the laser because it'll abosorb more of the light. Good luck
  • Laser worked great on my feet. I still get a few hairs on my right big toe and one hair on the top of my right foot. But it sucked on my face. It made the upper lip hair whispy, but it's still there and dark, and the chin hair is still there and thick. I have to tweeze every day and wax once a week to keep it under control.
    I might give it another shot someday, but not through my dermatologist again. I'd like to try that one I see on makeover shows where the hair actually disappears while they're doing it. This one always left the hair there with assurances that "the root will die and the hair will fall out."
