Describe the laser hair removal
procedure
Originally I only planned on doing my underarms, but
during my first visit I knew I wanted to do my
bikini too because the procedure was quick and far
less painful than I had expected. Shockingly, it
only took about 15 minutes for both the underarm and
the bikini areas together!
After asking me questions about my ethnic background and assessing my skin and hair type she calibrated the laser to a setting that would work best for me. She gave me goggles to wear to protect my eyes and then placed the laser on my skin and, for lack of a better word, “zapped” away. The laser delivers a burst of light to the area through a handheld crystal.
It wasn’t painful, but I wouldn’t call it pleasant either. Essentially the laser is “attacking” the hair follicles. Fortunately, the handheld device treats approximately 1 square inch with every “zap,” so it took very little time. The laser produced a mild singed-hair smell, but it was not unpleasant.
After the first treatment, my skin looked as though I was sunburned, but the redness faded within a day or so. Subsequent treatments did not leave me red and tender at all. I’ve tried the Epilight laser for my bikini area, but the Candela laser worked much better. Within days of my first treatment I noticed my skin was smooth and clear -- no ingrown hairs or marks! I’m thrilled with the results. I highly recommend this form of hair removal and have told all of my friends about it.
The time spend for laser hair
removal treatment
Bikini : 5 to 11 minutes
Underarms : 5 to 11 minutes
I’ve already done four treatments, and it looks as
though I’ll need one more. I have some regrowth but
it’s so fine and light that I can simply shave it
off.
On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the worst pain.
The painful of procedure
overall with a scale of 1-10
I would give the overall treatment a rate of 2 to 3.
The initial treatments were more painful than the
latter ones. But, be warned: During the very first
bikini treatment, I experienced severe pain in the
sensitive labia area; mercifully, it only lasted 20
seconds or so. Subsequent visits were much more
tolerable. All in all, the entire procedure was much
less painful than electrolysis or waxing.
