Laser Hair Treatment Worth It?

Brianna, on November 15, 2019 at 3:34 AM Posted in Fitness and Health 1 25
I've been thinking about it recently and can't decide if I should do it or not. I was wanting to get it done before I get married but I'm a little unsure. I don't know if it hurts, if it's even worth it, expensive and more important if it's will cause skin problems/health risks in the future.

Help 😓

    I did it for facial hair. It helped a lot. I still get some hair that grow in but i can always go back sure to lifetime contract where i pay a doctors fee. The hair are less course.

    It hurts but less than waxing. It’s expensive but I did it with a 60% off deal which helped. Totally worth it.

    It's the best thing I've ever done for myself. Absolutely worth it.

    So worth it! I've had my underarms done and some treatments on my legs. It does hurt a bit, but its like someone snapping a rubber band type hurt and its gone so quick. I used to have to shave my underarms at least once a day, really twice, because my underarm hair was so dark and thick. Even right after shaving, my skin would still look dark. Not anymore! I still get a couple baby hairs but they are so thin and I only shave every couple weeks, plus there is a lifetime contract so I can go back and have those removed too for a cheap price. I've only had a couple treatments on my legs but there are already huge areas that no longer grow hair, like the back of my calves. Do it! Check groupon too, you can usually find good deals on there. And if you are doing more than one area you can often get a discount.

    I bought two groupons for small areas like my underarms and upper lip. It feels like a rubber band snapping you but its not to bad. I think its completely worth it! Try to get one that has 6 passes since that's all you really need for small areas for bigger you may need more. Each month you go have them up the laser so tat it can really make the hair removal permanent.

    Just do it well before your wedding. I tried sugaring on my face about a year before and really liked it but I was red for several days so for my wedding I did it about a week before.

    I got it done on my lip, chin, and bikini area 10 years ago. It grows back but definitely not as much as it used to, so I totally recommend it! It hurts a little but not too bad. Plus they can give you numbing cream if you need it.

    I does hurt, but less than waxing in my opinion. Yes it is expensive. How well it works depends on your hair type, hair color, skin color, and body area. I had AMAZING results on my bikini line and it didn't work at all on my under arms.

    I get it! I will also say that to some people it barely feels like anything but to others it hurts, so it really just depends! You might get lucky and barely feel it! Another thing is, the pain depends on the area. For me, my underarms hurt way more than my legs, which I barely felt! So it is all dependent on many things. Numbing cream is great and you can take ibuprofen or Tylenol before you go in as well!

    SO WORTH IT

    I got a deal on Groupon and did my full Brazilian area. It definitely does hurt (kind of feels like someone snapping you with a hot rubber band?) but it's really tolerable. Honestly if you wax already this is the same thing but a lot quicker. I've done almost 6 treatments now and my hair just barely starts to grow back in a month and when it does it's super fine and barely there.

    Yeah that makes sense, everyone is different. Someone else mentioned numbing cream which sounds helpful.
    I'll go and check some places out

    I wanted to get a Brazilian treatment but I'm terrified especially since I've never waxed down there. I've only shaved.
    I guess my main concern is that the skin is super sensitive down there and I'm worried it'll hurt a lot more.
    When you got the Brazilian treatment, how many times did you have to go back?

    It's really not that bad. It hurts, but nothing you couldn't sit through easily and it's over really quick. My groupon was for 6, so I have one more left to do and my hair is almost completely gone. They do say you will probably have to do touch ups every once in a while, but I'm really happy with my results!
