I recently had my first of 6 laser hair removal treatments for my abdomen, bikini plus, and upper legs. After one treatment the hair on the abdomen was reduced by over 50%. The hair on the inside and outside of my legs are completely gone. The hair on the front of the thigh has maybe 20% remaining. The bikini area had a large reduction in the amount of hair. However, the scrotum had no visible reduction of hair. Why the big difference with this area? The knee area on both legs had minimal reduction. I'm thinking maybe the skin wasn't tight in these areas which reduced the effectiveness of the laser. The pictures are 6 weeks after the first treatment. The second treatment is tomorrow.

What areas did you nuke and did some areas take to lasers better than others? Thank you

My Brazillian and my Underarms reacted the best. My legs took a couple more treatments, chest and abs to. But finally hair free.

The thing is laser remove forever just and only the thin hair , the one that grows on face arms sometimes, the hair that is less thick, that’s why your hair is coming back.

Did they not tell you it doesn’t work on gray or light hairs? You would probably get better results with electrolysis as that is not limited by hair color/pigmentation.

I was told it wouldn't work on gray hair. The people doing the treatment said it would work on my dark hair. It seemed to work at first as I had to shave less and less while doing the treatments. However, since the treatments ended I have regrown all the hair. I also had 4-5 sessions of electrolysis treatment on my penis and scrotum. All the hair has regrown in that area too. I seem hairy than when I started this process.

Finished 6 treatments
LafBMarch 16, 2018
I finished 6 treatments on my abdomen, Brazillian, butt, and full legs with varying degrees of success. The bad thing about my treatments is I had four different technicians that worked on me. The second one was the best but she only did two treatments. She seemed the most comfortable working on the Brazillian area of the four. The last two seemed very uncomfortable doing the Brazillian area. I didn't have an option on the first two as they were no longer working there when I went back for successive treatments. I would definitely try to get someone that would work on you for all treatments as you will know what to expect from the person.
After 6 treatments on my abdomen there is still a lot of dark hair showing. It also revealed a large amount of gray hair. I know the laser is not going to remove the gray hair but I thought I would have much better results than this.
The legs, upper and lower, responded the best to the laser. I have probably no more than 5% of hair remaining anywhere on my legs. There are just a few scattered patches on the thigh and calf.
The pubic area has two small lines of hair. The rest is clear except near the base of the penis. It doesn't seem like there was any reduction there. The scrotum still has a lot of hair and the perineum area also has a lot of hair. I think this is a result of the technician being embarrassed to work on that area. The butt was clear but the crack still had a lot of hair in that area. I talked to another place that does laser hair removal and the lady said it looked like they didn't go into the crack enough and that is why there is a lot of hair.
I want the Brazillian area to be clear of hair and need to decide where to go to try to achieve it. The second place the lady seemed very comfortable examining the area and telling me what she saw. The only problem is that they are three times as expensive as the first place.
I will try to get pictures before getting my next treatment so everyone can see the hair left by the treatments.

I’m 50 and just about to commit to LHR....full lower body and underarms. Your comment about having the same technician for all sessions - and one comfortable with the male anatomy - if very helpful and now included in my questions/concerns list.

Go back to the original place and ask them to touch up those areas you're not happy with. Any reputable business would want you to be satisfied.

This is beyond a touch up. All of the hair has regrown. I would need a full treatment over many sessions and I don't know if that would help at all.

LHR update
LafBJune 13, 2018
I had 7 sessions for my upper legs and 6 sessions for my abdomen, brazillian, and lower legs. I have not had a treatment since my last treatment and it seems like all of the hair has regrown. It was a complete waste of money as every area treated has now regrown all the hair that was removed.

Bummer! I am so looking forward to begining a hairless life so your post is exactly what I’m aftaid of !! Could of you elaborate perhaps on n the type of laser and your skin pigmentation and hair color??
There don't seem to be many reviews by blokes so thank you for posting yours. I'm glad the first treatment went pretty well and hope the second treatment you had a few days ago was also successful.
I've pondered your question about apparent lack of hair reduction on your scrotum and have a couple of possibilities. Could your scrotum have had a lot less hair initially than other areas treated so a reduction is more difficult to see or my other thought is maybe the person doing the treatment was a lot more cautious in your genital area in case they caused pain and irritation? Can you imagine the embarrassment of being in public and constantly having to scratch your scrotum?
I hope your second treatment went well and more hair was removed from all areas.
Well done on your posting and I hope the laser hair removal is successful and lasting and you can enjoy your life being more hair free.
