Have you had laser hair removal?

I want to get laser hair removal on my legs and bikini area. I would like to hear from people who have gotten it. Is it painful? Is it worth it? How much did you pay per session? How many sessions did you have to have? Does having this treatment change how your skin looks?



Have you had laser hair removal?

Yes, I'm actually still having treatments. I recommend American Laser Centers. They are wonderful and the nice thing about them is that if you ever move or are on vacay, you can visit any of their clinics nationwide.



I got the bikini brazlilian package with $300 off (I won a drawing they had - they offer them a lot online, so check that out if you're really interested). My package cost about $1200 total. They offer a good financing plan though with 0% interest for the first year. We had it paid off before then so it worked out perfectly. It is a little painful, and I wouldn't say it feels like rubber band snaps like they say. It feels more like a microscopic needle pricking the skin. But they give you ice to numb the area and after a while, truly, you get used to it. And it only takes a few minutes to the bikini area. Legs take longer, but it doesn't hurt as badly for that area, typically. It is a long process.... you have a treatment about every 90 days and about 10-12 treatments total. Then they offer a 2 yr guarantee where you can still go in for treatments if all the hair isn't gone by then. I'm in my guarantee period now and I'm almost done! It is completely worth it though.

Good luck!



Have you had laser hair removal?

It's quite expensive, I think :/



And I've heard it's quite painful.



Have you had laser hair removal?

The only thing Ive heard is it doesn't work!!!!!!!! also a friend of mines had it done and went to all the treatments and she still grows hair I think it a 50/ 50 chance



Have you had laser hair removal?

I've gotten it done--on my chin and upper lip. I was lucky since my cousin worked for a dermatologist and they did all the procedures for me for free, but laser hair removal can be pretty expensive.



It does hurt...it's like a rubber band being snapped against your skin and you can smell the hair burning. You also get fairly red and sometimes blister as part of the healing process. I love it, but would not have done my legs or bikini--it will take a couple of sessions and each one costs a couple of hundred dollars and the bikini area is very sensitive so it will be even more painful.
