| - At Yelp, sharing is caring. But let's be honest, sharing about getting the 'brazilian' area lasered seems a bit TMI. Its our private parts, after all.
As it seems I have no shame or filter for the private things in life, I shall share my laser experience at AZ Laser Hair Removal. If you really don't want to hear about how I permanently removed all the crotch hair, this would be a great time to stop and click elsewhere. Seriously, it might get graphic.
The way I see it, what AZ LHR&SCC (yup the title is too long) lacks in decor, they compensate in results. In terms of a "spa" feel, they definitely lack the 'right ambiance': the laser rooms are very empty and ghetto-looking, the lobby area is tiny and they share a bathroom with the rest of the building- which means you have to go out the back and through some weird corridor to find it. Not the classiest place on earth.
But- the laser works. I got the 6 sessions through Groupon and I am almost done (1 or 2 sessions away). If you need some context for my credibility, let me assure you that I have received LHR on my full legs, arms, armpits and crotch. I have tried every laser, pre-post treatment recommendation and they were all done in different places. You think that would make me an expert, really it just makes me sad about how hairy I thought I was.
Anyhow (getting sidetracked here), the laser at this place DEFINITELY HURTS. Especially in a sensitive area (hoohah) and maybe even more so if you are not used to hair removal lasers (which I was). The Candela Yag essentially works by sending pulses of the beam to a small round area. The light is intense but the heat and the "zap" feel is what gets you. The technician works small area by small area by spending just a second for each "zap". You might survive some of the thicker skin areas- near the stomach-, but once that tube goes near your nether-regions, get ready to bite on a pencil or something, cause it WILL hurt like hell. If this TMI wasn't enough, let me just warn you that before enduring the touch of hell, I needed to ice my ladybits for 20-30mins prior to the appointment, to get it all nice and numb and somehow minimize the pain. They also recommended a pop a bunch of tylenol... just in case. Although I iced the crap out of my panty-area, I still endured pain, but I can't imagine how much worse it would be sans the ice. I don't even want to think about it. *shivers*
I'm not a glutton for pain but I am a sucker for results, and I was happy to see that the hair DID fall off and got patchy by the first treatment. Hair grew much thinner and much patchier. There are some areas that are still growing thick, but they are so obvious now (in contrast with the rest) that I can show the technician those areas and ask that she focus on them, to make sure that the overall results will be somewhat even. At the end of the day, I can endure 15mins (yes they work very fast) of torture for a lifetime of results, so I kept coming and I am now giving them 4 stars. -1 for the crappy decor and some patchy areas that are not done yet, but all somewhat minor things.
I'm sure no one OPTS for pain, but as women, our pain tolerance is higher than any other creature out there, and surely we can survive a hot laser in our crotch to forever look hairless and hot down there, because we are women and we do these crazy f-ed things. BRING ON THE PAIN!
