Worth the "Zap" for Hair Reduction

Worth It
Spent: $1,500 in Atlanta, GA

I am a fair skinned gal with very dark burnette hair. Lots of hair. Three hairs grow out of just about every folicle. My whole life I've been self-conscious about my legs looking like I hadn't shaved even though I had hours ago. And my bikini-line was always horrible -ingrown hairs and all the problems they cause.

I hated being seen in a swim suit not because of my figure, which I'm generally happy with, but my hair. The laser removal I had done was worth every single penny.

I had my underarms, bikini, and lower legs done. I don't even have to shave my bikini line any more, and my legs are down to being shaved one or twice a week rather than once or twice a day.

The procedure does give you a little "zap" but nothing too bad. It's nothing a little tylenol or such won't cure.

These folks are professionals! Ranked one of the top Dermatology clincs in Atlanta a couple years ago, they are on the Emory Faculty, and do this for a living. Not a fly-by-night place that had a weekend of training. I've seen all the horror-stories about scarring on the news. I had 6 treatments and they were all perfect!

instead of tylenol, it may be better to take ASAs (Aspirin) or ibuprofen (Advil), about a half-hour to hour before the appointment since these actually are anti-infammatories (reduce swelling, also i the hair follicle releasing the hair better) and not just analgesics (reduce pain).

Hi,
I'm from GA, Savannah area. I've been to GLOW MED SPA in Savannah to have my hair removed.They told me that I need 6-8 treatments, but I already had 8 and I still have half the hair. The experience was awful, because the technician lied to me and every time she asked if I'm happy, I said I don't see too big difference, and I was told"Oh, dear, you look great!".Everytime I 've asked to increase the temperature, she just didn't dop that.So, I invested lots of money for something that didn't work. I might need another 6 treatments I was told, so...
