I have olive skin, I tan easily and rarely burn. Dark hair. I have had consultations at two places; one uses Candela and wants to charge me $6,000 for Brazilian bikini, lower leg and upper lip. 6 treatments and 3 touch ups. The other place, is a fraction of the cost, gives the same amount of treatments but uses the Soprano Ice. I have heard it is less permanent, but I know that all laser hair removal isn't really permanent. If I am spending 6k I want to know it's because I am getting a superior product.

Thank you for your question. It is common to experience some swelling, itchness and redness after laser hair removal and this is usually due to irritation of the hair follicles. You can take an antihistamine and apply hydrocortisone to help relieve the redness and itching. I recommend following...
Thank you for your question. The only medications you can't take before laser hair removal are photo-sensitivity medications. You also need to avoid the sun two weeks prior to prevent burning from the laser and two weeks after because the laser itself makes your skin photosensitive.
