Your hair grows in cycles making it impossible to treat all of your hair at one time. The goal is to permanently reduce the number and thickness of the hair.it usually takes 3-5 laser hair removal sessions to get the majority of the hairs to be treated. After the initial course of treatment yearly or twice-a-year treatments may be necessary to repeat treat.

look into a laser hair removal / Vaniqa combo. Don't expect instant results but you will feel better about your face. Good luck!!

I have read some reviews on home microdermabrasion kits that gave good results. The cost of the kits, about 35 dollars and up, may not be so bad since they last for such a long time. Many kits state to not use the home treatment more than 2 times a week and they have enough supplies to last for at least 10 treatments. So, if you do the math the cost is not that bad.

To answer the question "Is it worth it?", that surely depends on your level of expectation. An at-home treatment will more than likely not deliver the same results as what can be achieved at the dermatologist's office. However, many spas (not medi-spas) have a license that only allows them to perform services (microdermabrasion / chemical peels)at about half the strength as the medical doctors. So, two at-home treatments may be equal to one spa treatment. Why not try the at-home kit and if you need more extreme results- go see the doctor.

Unfortunately, no one whitening treatment is for everyone. It really depends on your expectations.

Treatments like BriteSmile, a dentist teeth whitening procedure, will lighten your teeth up to 9.3 shades in a hour.  Great unless you already have relatively white teeth- then you might glow in the dark! LumaArch teeth whitening may lighten your teeth between 2-4 shades in about a 30 minutes. Also really great, you will quickly see immediate results, but maybe 2-4 shades is not the look you desired. As far as if a laser or a light is used during the process, not sure that one is necessarily better than the other. The treatments that do use a light source seem to lighten more shades, in less time.
