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.

On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being so embarrassing.

I would rate the embarrassing factor a 3 .During the bikini procedure I was naked, spread-eagle on the table! This is definitely not a procedure for someone very shy.

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 exceeding your expectations. The results with a scale of 1-10

A 10 — I’m thrilled with the results! I never imagined I could have such smooth, clear, skin in areas where I was once plagued with ingrown hairs or stubble. Just knowing I’ll never have to wax again is an enormous relief (especially on my wallet).

Did anything during or after the procedure surprise you

Not really. Since I had tried laser hair removal before I was prepared and basically knew what to expect. Everything that surprised me (like how smooth my skin was after the second session and how fast it was) was a pleasant surprise!

The most like about the results of laser hair removal procedure

Having so little regrowth and not having to resort to additional methods of hair removal. Now if I have a hair or two, I just shave it and it’s gone.

The least like about the results of laser hair removal procedure

After the initial treatment I was a little sore and red, but it was comparable to post-waxing discomfort. The second treatment and all subsequent treatments never left me sore or red.
