I’ve done 8 or 9 treatments on each area now. My legs and armpits are essentially done but I’ve got a few more left on my second package. There’s really just light blonde or almost blonde hair left. I will keep those on file for future touch ups as they don’t expire.

Pubic area is coming along but definitely still a work in progress. I’m still very happy with it as the hair is far fewer, finer, an slower to grow.

Pic was taken today. I don’t shave at all anymore unless I’m going in for a treatment, the latest of which was at least 6 weeks ago.

Which laser machine ?

I am not sure if you will see this so long after your treatments are done, but how are your results now? Are they holding up with time? I am finally about to start my own treatments and I want to say that I really appreciated your informative and organized review - it may have taken me a while, but it has helped me make my decision!

Treatment 3

10/7 was my 3rd treatment. These photos were taken the night before, no shaving at all for the last four weeks between treatments.
Similar to my last update, 100% thrilled about the armpits. Virtually no hairs there at all.
Legs are getting lighter each time. All the way until today, there have been hairs that are just tiny black dots that can be picked out.
Pubic area remains the most persistent but that’s to be expected. Bikini line is lovely and smooth, but the main part still has significant growth. I can tell a moderate difference between the mons pubis which has had no treatment and the lower area which is being treated.
My next pubic treatment is in four weeks. I can do my legs then if I feel they’re ready. Next armpit treatment is in eight weeks.

Do you know what laser type is being used? I have fair pubic hair & have been told laser hair removal will not work. :(

Excel HR. Depends on how fair and your skin tone, but this one has the furthest range I think!

I shaved before treatment as required but I haven’t shaved at all since - for science!
Armpits: barely any hair at all and what is there is finer and lighter. I’m most thrilled with this area so far!
Legs: hair growing in slower and more sparse. The hairs there now do feel well anchored and I can’t pull them out easily (like dead ones).
Pubic area: still the most typical growth but I can see a difference between the lower half and the mons pubis which I shaved at the same time (11 days ago) but is not being treated. Lighter, softer, slower with no to very little hair growing on the outer edges by my thighs. No hairs are pulling out easily.
My 3rd treatment is 10/8, 4 weeks after the 2nd.

pubic hair is there for a reason!

So are fat deposits and tiny boobies. But we're all here on RealSelf anyway! :)

Just before you go for your third treatment, would you mind posting an update about how much change there has been in your pubic area? I have a lot of trouble with the skin in that area and have heard that even just having two treatments can noticeably reduce ingrowns and chafing problems and make it easier to shave what remains. But I am pretty much a hair factory so I am trying to decide if I think I really ought to plan on having a full course of six treatments. Thank you so much for being so open with your review!

Posted! My technician said that mid-treatment you could be left with thinner hair all over (as I seem to be) or that it could be patchy (as she was). So perhaps partial treatment would work well for you, but it's not possible to know which hairs will be eradicated each time.

Thank you! I had heard each of those things before, and I always wondered which one was right. From what you say, it sounds like they are both possibilities, which is good to know going into it. It makes me feel a little better about trying two treatments and seeing what happens. My skin is a bit of a mess and the hair is already kind of patchy so if it gets patchier it’s not the end of the world. But it would be nice to have it thin out evenly!

Wow, looks like good results. I'm interested now!

looks like the results are good so far. Hope you're happy with it
