Seeking Advise on Hair Removal Treatments

Hi J.!

I just started laser hair removal and I'm so pleased with it so far. It has made a big difference after just one treatment. The biggest problem though is that you are not allowed to pluck or wax in between treatments, which only leaves the option of shaving and I was always very leary of shaving my face for fear it would come in thicker. (You can't bleach either because the laser only works on dark hairs). I started with my face/chin and underarms and at my next appointment I am going to add the bikini line into the mix because I was so pleased with the results on the other areas.

I have it done at the medispa at my doctors office and the price is $75 for upper lip/chin or $150 for full face, $125 for underarms. You need at least 5 treatments for it to be permanent. I highly recommend it!

Hi,
Find a dermatologist. They have the equipment to take care of the facial hair permanently and the other parts of the body.

I have been dealing with facial hair my entire life! I just used to Jolen (facial hair bleach) but I started using VANIQA about a year ago. You need a perscription (Vaniqa.com) to get it. It's about $60 a tube and it will last a couple of months. It definitely works.

Hi J.,

I have done laser hair removal on my underarms, full legs, and extended bikini region. I have fair skin and dark hair (which they say sees the best results). I have had several treatments, probably around 9 or so thus far, and my leg hair has almost vanished (I shave a few hairs every other month), as well as my bikini area. My underarms were great until I got pregnant and although it's a little less, I have to shave again now (they won't treat you in pregnancy). My mom had her facial hair (and everything else) done as well and loved her results. She used Advanced Laser Centers and liked them - I used American Laser Centers and HATE them. The machines are fine, but the staff, rate of turnover, and lack of accomodation are horrible. So, basically I'm saying do laser - but not at American Laser Centers! ;)

I hear ya I am with you all the way. Everyone I mention it to is like oh I cant notice bull I notice big time. I hope some people have good advice, I do have some Sally Hansen Creme Hair Bleach for facial hair and I am so afraid to try it will my upper lip be red, will more hair grow I dont want to do removal cause then it will cause more hair to grow in so becareful you might have a little now and if you use some of the products out there you will have a whole mustache etc. Well good luck please let me know and if my stuff works once I get the nerve to use it I will let you know.

I don't have experience with it (yet), but I've checked out Hair Today Gone Tomorrow. I am seriously considering it. It is permanent and they can do larger areas than with laser treatment. It is also non-invasive. Check out their website.
