Burned Armpits by Laser Hair Removal Session - Northampton, MA

Went today for my chin laser hair removal but since it was like 4 minutes and is 10 minutes for $150 I told her if she could get another area and she said yes. What area? I said well at least one armpit....., oh my gosh!! My armpit was on FIRE!!!!! I felt the pain in my heart, my skin and soul and even in my thoughts!! It was hard to breath normal but she finished and I was so relieved that she was done. When she starts talking and says " well, ill just do the other armpit for you. I hate to do just one" :-o (oh nooo! Here we go again!) she did something to the machine and started in my left armpit and this time it hurted even MORE!!!! Oh LAWD have mercy! I wanted to wack her so bad. I thought about the pain when I gave birth, the pain that I was gonna have after breastlift and bbl surgery and how in the world I was gonna get thru that session and the surgeries? Do I want to go thru more pain? What is wrong with me? !!!! Ladies no joke, armpit laser hair removal is PAINFUL!!! I was not able to drive afterwards and my hands were up high. When I got home and looked in the mirror I knew right away that I was burned. I'm not looking forward to taking a bath later, using deodorant and of course won't be able to shave for my surgery next week!! ;( hubby was laughing on the way home and asking why I didn't stop her. I said because I didn't want to be a wimp so I had to sucked it up. I had been mean to him in the morning rushing him to get home so he said " that's what you get for being mean to me"!! ;[ then he asked " what are we doing now?' Exasperated I said " listen, I'm in so much pain that can't think" so don't ask me!!" And he bursted out laughing again. I guess I did deserve it so I kept both arms on the dashboard and my mouth shut. Then I remembered I had Tylenol in the glove compartment and took 2 capsules and a gabapentin 300mg to take the edge off the pain. I'll post some pictures. Oh! And it was done at an elite plastic surgeons office in my area -_-

....needless to say this I the first and last time I do it....

It's a little uncomfortable still, I have to put baby powder so the skin won't stick together. When the skin sticks together I feel some stinging / burning. I'm unable to use deodorant, unable to shave etc.

I went to my dermatologist to see if there was anything he could give for the burn but he said just let it heal on its own. If I would have gone in earlier than he would have prescribed and ointment but now just use Vaseline and if there is any darkness after the scabs come off than to use the hydroquinone cream that he had previously prescribed. I will let healing take its course
