Let me say this... my total package cost me $4500 for underarms & bikini line. That was 3 years ago. I have pale white skin with dark hair so apparently thats the most receptive skin/hair combo to the laser and this may be the reason I had good results.
Well, as much as I paid, I would have to say that scheduling my laser appointments was such a pain in the ass.... they only let you come in every three months. If you do not schedule it in advance they are ALWAYS too busy to take you and often you have to wait 4 weeks out when your hair is growing back in. Same situation arises if you need to reschedule a booking. ugh.
The laser feels like someone is taking a rubber band and pulling it back as far as they possibly can and snapping it against your skin. (pretty darn painful at times.) I refused any numbing creams and was able to make it through each session.
At the end of your contract when all of your sessions are complete, you then have to start paying for "touch ups" so basically it is NOT permanent!!!! However, my hair has been greatly reduced and I get touch ups about every 4 to 5 months.
So its the kind of investment that you have to keep investing in...
Was it worth it? (The ONLY reason I'm giving it 4 stars)
1. I DO love not having underarm hair
2. If you have an insecurity.. you gotta' do what you gotta' do to make yourself happy ;)
Otherwise I'd give it 3 stars because:
1. Total ripoff how much they are charging people.
2. Scheduling is a nightmare at times.
