Laser-hair removers/removal?
Hey, I've finally got tired of shaving practically every day and decided to give laser hair removal a try. So here's the deal, I know nothing of them, their success rate or their background. I'm not too well off, I get £100/month overdraft for things like new clothes and luxuries, so whichever one I get needs to be long-lasting, dependable and fairly cheapish. But it has to work. I was looking at http://www.ebeautyproducts.co.uk/rio-salon-laser-hair-remover-lahr—permanent-hair-removal-28-p.asp but again I knew nothing of it so I wasn't sure. So anybody got any suggestions that fit the bill?
The rio is similar to the tria, i bought one a year ago
little money/little pain/little results
It's that simple
You get what you pay for, I sold it and went to a medspa
Waste of money
Okay… science answer:
You grow in at least 80% of your hair during puberty. When you have laser hair removal the hairs it kills will never grow again. But you still have up to 20% of your normal thickness that will grow in throughout the rest of your life. So people get touch up sessions every 3-5 years after their big 6 treatments. You need about 6 treatments, one each 2 months for a year, because the hair grows in different stages and it can only kill hair in the active growth stage. The laser works by targeting dark color (the hair follicle) and passing through light color (the skin) the hair and skin have to be very different shades of color for the hair to work. The darker and coarser the hair and lighter the skin, the better results you will have.
Okay… Personal Experience:
I've had 2 out of my 6 treatments so far. It HURTS! It's like being poked with a sewing needle over and over, but it's not as painful as a tattoo, and that's not as painful as childbirth, maybe that can put the pain in perspective for you =) I've had my legs, underarms, and bikini area done. When you get your bikini area done they do ALL of it! Including spreading your butt and vaginal lips apart to laser all the cracks… It's sorta awkward. After the 2 treatments I've had so far I've lost about 60% of leg hair, 40% bikini hair, and 25% underarms hair. It's because the underarms hair is the thinnest and the leg hair is the coarsest. But the legs are the most painful. The more it hurts the better it works.
I spent this much for 6 treatments in each area:
Bikini-$750
Underarms-$750
Legs (toes to bikini)-$2,500

that laser removal machine might work but will take time
everyone is different
my friend bought it but it took longer then going to the salon would
[4 months] of endless session every other day
a family member of mines bought the same thing and nothing happen
just bad marks
i suggest sensitive waxing/sugaring or threading
they won't leave any bad after effects
the hairs do grow back but thinner every time
by the end of continuous process spending less then $100
you will get no more hair growing on that area
there are actually pills that stop the cells that produce hair
but that does mean hair on your head and other areas
so that takes more time to think about
if you do buy the machine
make sure you read every bit of the direction and if it doesn't work
make sure it says money back guarantee and that you can return it
