| - I had the laser hair removal on my bikini, underarms and lower legs (8 treatments, 8 treatments and 6 treatments). While my hair in those areas are a lot thinner and sparse, they are still there... kind of defeats the purpose.
Apparently, being part Asian makes it difficult to determine what strength the machine should be set at. If I had known (or have been told) that being mixed race would complicate things, I would have told them at my first appointment. At my third of eight treatments, I casually mentioned it and was told that my first two treatments were set at a weak strength (Caucasian). So, two treatments in two spots pretty much wasted.
Around my sixth/seventh treatment of my bikini and underarms, I got another Groupon for my lower legs. I was thinking that this will be better because the technicians now know that I am mixed race and all six of my sessions will be at the appropriate strength.
At my last session of laser treatments, the technician informed me that the hair removal WAS NOT PERMANENT and if there are any hormonal changes, my hair could grow back at the same rate before I did my treatments.
So I made time to complete all 20 appointments, avoiding the sun, not wearing deodorant or lotion and feel my hair crackle under my skin by the laser for less hair, not no hair?!
While my experience was disappointing, my non-yelping friend has been satisfied with her botox/juvederm treatments.
