I hate shaving, the worst thing woman ever thought about doing. I had have been going to do the laser hair removal. I love it, I love not having to worry about wearing a tank top and my arms being all hairy and ucky. I know there are alot of positive and negatives about doing it. Yes it stings a little, but depending on your pain tolerance it isnt to bad. It is pricy. I got a deal for $75 a visit for my underarms. I am hoping that I can get a decent price on my legs so I can get them done too, but I might have to do those more in sections.
They hair does grow back a little bit and sometimes it take a few more treatments, but if you have a good place they will tell you that. The place I go told me that I might even have to come back once a year after all my treatments are done to get touch ups.
Does anyone else do the laser hair removal? Do you like it?

wow that would be nice. Wish I could do that. where do you go to get that done? i've heard about people getting it done, but never actually met anyone that had it done. I hate shaving. I guess if you add up all the money you spend on shaving cream and razors, your best bet would to get the treatment.

I go to the austin laser therapy clinic. The treatments depending on what you do before hand can be cheaper in the long run. Just depends on what you do before you start the treatments. My legs right now are hairy cause I haven't taken the time to shave them. Hoping to be able to afford them before I get fit and can wear shorts out of the house.

There are many places to go but one should always check out the places and ask the right questions too. Make sure that they are trained professionals. At least nurses if not doctors. I don't know how many of them have the latest equipment either so it does pay long term to find these things out and to be on the safe side. Also I would shop around if I were you to make sure you get the best possible price, as I have learned there are some places more affordable than others. Some of them offer a package deal if you are getting other areas done too. You are right in the long term you could be saving money on the wax or razors that people end up paying for. That can be quite a bit once you add it up long term too.
They have been around for a long time, although they can not guarantee results one does find they are able to maintain the area a bit better than it used to be and with continued treatment I think they just continue to get less and less. Then the touch ups are not as frequent I guess but it is nice to know that there are things out there that can help feel more confident about ourselves. We need it sometimes but I wish that technology can be produce something more effective and quicker in results, that would be quite an achievement. Who knows the next best thing could be around the corner somewhere. That would be nice.

I am thinking of having a laser hair removal though. I will do it after I'm done with the laser treatment for my face. It is quite expensive for me every session. I have heard from my friend about the laser hair removal as she had done this herself when she was in Spain.
