67% of Los Gatos reviewers said Laser Hair Removal was worth it
“Worth It 100x! Just Have Realistic...”
I have had most of my body lasered multiple times and mostly at the same clinic. As an Asian with fair skin but uncharacteristically thick, dark hair everywhere it just was NOT cute. My family would get on my case about shaving and how they wondered how I could ever find a boyfriend with hairy legs like that. Haha. My brother and male cousin would get grossed out and ask me to 'put... more
“Laser Hair Removal Treatments Under Arms”
Not sure, yet. My daughter has taken only one treatment in her under arms. After the first treatment she had lot of discomfort in the treated area but was okay after 2-3 days.My daughter took her first laser hair removal treatment on her underarms. She had pain for a couple of days and the discomfort that goes along with the treatment. With highly busy high school life, she wishes to take rest... more
“Seemed Like Laser Hair Removal Might...”
I have light skin and medium hair that i tried to have removed from my back and shoulders . I paid for 6 treatments and saw just a little reduction on the regrowth. I was not satisfied with the results, so they gave me 3 more treatments for free under their guarantee. After that I just gave up. A few months later, it was exactly the same as when I started. No miracles here, sadly. A huge... more
“Very Satisfied with Result and Most...”
Pros: Most, I would say 90%, hair gone; cost is very reasonable (for me anyhow, I know some places charge a lot more than what I paid); amount pain is tolerable. Cons: Amount of hassle is more than what I expected; pain is also a little more than what I expected. I had laser hair removal done on my underarm and bikini area. I had a series of 8 treatments done and I'm very happy with the... more
I had 5 laser hair removal treatments on my upper lip. The treatment wasn't too uncomfortable. I would say the discomfort was comparable to waxing. I have fair skin and red/brown hair. The hair has thinned out a bit but I still have to wax. It was a waste of money. more
I had laser hair reduction 2 days ago on my underarms, bikini (everything) and lower legs. The numbing cream came with the treatment. I told the nurse I would probably jump at the first “zap” because I didn’t know what it would feel like. She zapped me and I didn’t realize she had done it because I didn’t feel anything. It doesn’t hurt. I started giggling... more
I had wanted for so long to do this and put it off mostly because of cost. I am so happy I did it. This is one of those procedures I rave to people about. It has changed my life, no kidding: no more waxing appointments, no more shaving, no more wondering whether I am "swimsuit or bare leg ready". I am relatively fair skinned with coarse dark brown hair, so I was a good candidate for... more
