3 years ago I decided to take the plunge and get permanent hair removal. I started with Laser and went with full body hair removal. Each session cast me $200.00. The sessions were spaced about 5 weeks apart to allow the growth of hair for treatment. OMG it hurt!! especially on face, underarms and delicate areas. I tried various numbing creams but none seemed to work very well. It took about 5 treatment before significant progress was visible. My face was a little beat up for a day or two after each treatment, but this subsided over time as there were less hairs to treat.
I don't know the exact numbers but only a small (20%) of hairs are active and able to be treated at a time. For my body, It took about 2 1/2 years to get to the point where to hair was so sparse Laser did not seem necessary any more.
About 3 months after starting Laser treatment I started to get Electrolysis mainly on my face to remove the lighter/grey hair which the laser cannot remove. I have weekly treatments at a cost of $65.00 per session. For about the past 8 months the technician usually clears my facial hair with enough time to clear up the stray hairs from my chest or under arms, and I am also having her shape my eyebrows.
The process has been long, expensive, and PAINFUL, but OMG has it been worth it !!!!!
My ONLY regret is not doing this years ago.
If you are interested in permanent hair removal make sure the technician knows what they are doing.
