I had my first laser hair removal session yesterday with Rachel at Tareen Dermatology. I've never had lasers of any kind so I was nervous. I paid for 9 treatments and will also be doing my underarms and bikini area. I honestly thought it would be more painful, I didnt use any numbing cream. The most sensitive areas were the lower shin/ ankle area and the big toes. But it was so fast. Now I have to wait 8 weeks to go back for my second treatment and to start the other areas. Updated on 4 Feb 2015: I was mistaken and put my review under gentlelase. Not sure what that is but the laser that was used was the Candela Gentlemax Updated on 23 Dec 2015: I've had about 6-7 treatments on my legs, underarms, and bikini (Brazilian). Best decision ever. Next I plan on doing my little 'stache I have going on ;).
