When your aesthetician says, "Have you done this before? You're so calm!" you know it's about to hurt.
This was my first time trying laser hair removal. Where did I try it? No laughing... My upper lip. I have light hair and no I don't have a particularly hairy upper lip, but I do get a couple of hairs that grow over my lip line and not only does it drive me crazy, the bf makes fun of me. So today I took action.
The process was smooth but not painless. It is extremely quick with just a little paperwork. After signing releases I was taken back, given some safety glasses and we were a go. It is a split second cool feeling then an instant burn. You know it's working because you can smell your hair burning. It hurts just for a second, but it's enough to make you jump. It's a process of several zaps.. One for each 1/4 - 1/2 inch area. For my upper lip it only took about 3 minutes. I'm told it takes about 6 sessions total to completely remove the hair. Afterwards they put aloe on the area to sooth the burn.
I want to try the bikini area next.. Do I dare go for Brazilian?? They have a special: buy 5 sessions get the 6th free.
The staff is kind, the office is professional, and they recently reduced their prices. If you are looking for laser hair removal give them a try!
