4th laser hair removal treatment
Beautiful in his sightJuly 7, 2016
WORTH IT$2,100
Hey all ! My apologies for this post being so late. Summertime equals busy time for me. So I had my 4th treatment on June 18th and it went very well. Now the last one was extremely uncomfortable due to my skin being so dry. I was a little anxious to see how this one would go. The good news is that I got to experience the new laser which is still a YAG laser but it blows out ice cold air the whole time to keep the skin cool. It is so nice ! She also uses a ultra sound gel on the skin as well which is also something new. I will say that I did experience quite a bit of rash (bumps) afterwards almost like the first treatment. This is always hard on deal with just because it has to take its course and heal. It usually last about a week. I also had ALOT of hair loss which is great !! Love to see those hairs falling out. I did not have as much the 2nd or 3rd treatment. I feel like it was because I went back in 6 weeks instead of 4 weeks. My hair was in a good growth phase. Overall it was much more comfortable and I made it ! lol Will post pictures soon!

Almost halfway through laser hair removal treatments.

Hi all! ! Hope ya'll are doing ok ! So as I am standing here doing my nightly face routine I'm thinking to myself I am halfway through my treatments. Time flies by so fast ! Looking at my skin from when I started until now is night and day. It's been real nice to watch my skin transform. Summer is almost here and I have turned into the bun wearing updo hairstyle queen !! LOL Those of you that have read my journey probably know I had a breakthrough not to long ago with wearing my hair back. But anywho..I didn't mention that I am now going every 6 weeks now because I am seeing very little hair growth and that way my hair when be in a different growth cycle. My dark spots are finally lightening up to wear I am having to wear minimal makeup. Ingrown hair bumps are a thing of the past !! Yay !!

Yes beautiful in sight. I am well pleased with how its turning out. All my big razor pumps have dissapeared, Ive only shaved twice in one month, the hair grows back thinner and my dark spots are lightning up. I can wait to see more transformation at the end of my second month.

Glad to see you satisfied with your results' I commented on another one of your posts that your situation is so much like mine (African American, coarse hairs, embarassing hyperpigmentation from years of tweezing). Well you inspired me to take the plunge and I had my first treatment 4 days ago! My clinic spaces them out 8 weeks so I'm trying to be patient. Hopefully it works for me.
I have a question though: do you know what kind of laser they used for you? My place used a Palomar IPL and while I had no bad side effects like burning, rash, etc, researching online I've seen mixed reviews on IPLs effectiveness vs true lasers

Awww congrats.. that's awesome! The YAG laser with coolglide is what is being used on me. It's safe for all skin types but pretty much more partial to "darker" skin. It shoots out a cooling sensation after contact with skin. Helping to cool the skin off. Hope that helps. Keep me updated on your progress ! So happy for you!

3rd laser hair removal treatment
Beautiful in his sightMay 8, 2016
Hey ! Happy Mother's day to all the mama's ! So yesterday morning I had my 3rd laser hair removal treatment. Oh my goodness it felt like it was the first one. My tech did increase my IPL and whew it was intense ! I went in with the mindset that it was going to be the same comfort level as the 2nd one fooled myself ! LOL The upper lip and my chin has always been real painful and I have her do those two areas first just to get it over with. Another reason I feel it was so painful was the fact that my face was on the dry side. So I asked her about it and she said yep that'll do it ! Damn ! lol I had to take a break after my first side just to cool down my face. No exaggeration I felt like my face was on fire ! I didnt even experience this level of burning after my first one. She was so nice and attentive she immediately cleansed it with aloe and hydrocortisone. Went away instantly! I'm not even going to lie I was thinking whole time omg I hope I am not getting burns from this. And just like the first treatment I have developed a rash on some areas of my face mainly my chin and cheeks but not as bad as the first time. l will post pictures soon.

Did they offer a numbing cream ? There are numbing creams , I know the sometimes charge a upcharge but , if you need to get higher on the numbers ask about it . It's usually a compound of lidocaine and such that is purchased by them from a compound pharmacy or you might be able to get a Med script for it .

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback! I will definitely check into it !

One therapist I used (this time for my legs) said that I should shave several hours before treatment, not leave the therapist to do it, as recently shaving makes it hurt more.
