Laser hair removal. Face, chin & neck

ORIGINAL POST

Hi there! I am not much of a reviewer but for this...

WORTH IT$2,100
Hi there! I am not much of a reviewer but for this imparticular I felt I needed to share. I am a african american woman who has struggled with facial hair dating back to my late teens. It started with a hair here and a hair there and before you know it I developed what I call a "lady beard" I started off plucking the hairs and before you now it I was shaving with a razor. I guess the good thing to this is that once the hair settled it hasn't changed over the years as far as thickness and moving to other areas. As seen in pictures I have course hair growth along side burn area,chin,and neck as well as discoloration from years of plucking. I have also struggled with ingrown hairs which leave bumps that are hard to deal with. I made the choice to start laser hair treatment because I am so tired of struggling with this issue. It has affected my self esteem and just makes me feel very unattractive as a woman. I will post pictures soon.

So glad laser hair removal worked well for you, facial hair is not a fun thing to deal with, it can really impact one's self-esteem. How many treatments did you have? I suffer with lots of chin hair and it drives me nuts daily, I am considering laser hair removal and your success has brought me one step closer — thanks so much for sharing.

I love your results! I have PCOS and just really found out and I'm 24 and I started out like you as well a hair there but now it is all over my face and I hate it! I feel like a man and I'm suppose to feel like a woman because I am one and I just feel like people just stare at it! How much would you say a treatment like this cost? I get mines waxed but over the last 4 years it has gotten so bad wax hardly last and it cost so much!

What amazing results! Your story sounds so much like my own. The hair is one problem, and the scars from plucking are another. I don't feel comfortable going without makeup since the discoloration is very noticeable in my skin tone :( I've wanted to try laser for a while now but have been worried that it will discolor my skin even more, but it seemed to improve the discoloration you were experiencing. Was that from the laser or something else?

I have noticed that since the hair has started to fall out the discoloration (spots) have lightened as well. I mention in my 16 day post review my skin routine. Hope that helps ! Good luck to you !!

1st Laser Hair removal treatment

I had my first treatment on 3-2-16. The picture is from the day after in which as you can see I developed a major case of small bumps on my neck and chin area. though this is normal it's really hard to deal with considering it shows against any makeup I wear.

1st treatment

Here are some some pictures of the day after 1st treatment. Lots of small bumps (rash) on treatment area. This is normally especially since I have ingrown hairs in this area. This has since cleared and the hair is starting to shed.
