Laser Hair Removal Appt. 1 Results

I’ve put off doing a review of my first laser hair removal appointment so I could see how effective one session would be for me. Overall I’m pleased with the results…

When I went in for the appointment the ladies were extremely friendly and the practitioner kindly explained everything that was going to happen and made me feel really comfortable about the whole procedure. She even offered me a deal to get my underarms done as well at the same time as my lady-bits appointments. I took it, why not?

Pain -  A lot of people, myself included, are concerned about how much laser hair removal will hurt. The underarms went fine, it wasn’t unbearably painful and it gave me hope that my nether regions wouldn’t be too bad. Boy, was that hope misguided. It hurt like a bitch. Fun fact: we feel more pain on the left side of our body. I am definitely going to buy numbing gel for the next round.

Results – Already I’ve started to see patches where the hair isn’t growing in at all anymore! It looks like my vagina has the mange when it grows in and my underarms are patchy too. I have high hopes that the next year of treatments will go extremely well!

My next appointment is quickly approaching and I’m pretty excited! 

I'll see if I can get some pictures of my armpits for you. ;)

Starting Laser Hair Removal

Long story short I don't want to shave my lady bits anymore and Groupon made it much more affordable. I found a deal in my area for $250 for a year of unlimited laser hair removal and I jumped on it.

Yesterday I went in for my patch test and consultation. It didn't take long and the woman, Michelle, was amazingly friendly. The patch test, she explained, isn't done in all clinics but it's to make sure that you wont have an allergic reaction to the laser. You could react to the nickel or the light itself.

Luckily I didn't react to the laser and it also helped me get an idea of what it would feel like. It reminded me of when you accidentally shock yourself (or others) at random. So in two weeks I will begin the process toward not having to deal with shaving my bits again!

I'm also considering doing my underarms at the same time - it would be $150 more for the Groupon for that area and I could do it at the same time.

I'll keep this posted on how it goes!
