Has anyone tried Laser Hair Removal?
602198
I have had laser hair removal.  The results depend on a lot of things, including your age, your hair growth patterns, which laser is used, etc.\n\nThe laser can only kill active hairs.  At any given time, about 20% of the hairs on your body are active.  This means you normally need at least five treatments to remove the hair from one area.  \n\nLaser hair removal has not been proven to provide any sort of premanent removal OR reduction for people still in puberty.\n\nSome lasers only treat dark hair on pale skin, while others can be adjusted for lighter hair colors and darker skin tones.  Some laser have cooling tips, others don't... this affects the level of pain and consequently the probability you will return at least four more times to finish the treatment.\n\nMy advice would be to get a written contract guaranteeing certain specific results before paying any money for this service.  It can work, but it doesn't always.

Yep, been shaved completely bald twice now.\nI do it for cancer research.\nIt's called shave for a cure, people sponsor you to shave your head and the money goes into research for a cure for cancer.\nIt happens every year in March here, I did it for free, and I'd do it again, for free\nIt's only hair man, it grows back.\nIt sticks like velcro to the furniture til it grows back some though, lol

I don't know about whether such a procedure exists, but what the others have said is correct.\n\nA lot of men and women think it's extra sexy if you don't have much pubic hair.  Lucky you that you seem to have been born with this trait.  Think of your lack of hair as a blessing, not a shortcoming.\n\nWomen who have hair down there endure a lot of pain to get rid of their hair with things like Brazilian waxing and laser treatments.  And usually this is expensive also, as in "I can't believe I'm actually paying someone to put me in this much pain!"  Less expensive treatments like shaving have to be kept up, and sometimes they itch, and sometimes your vagina feels like sandpaper when the hair starts growing in.

Yep!  You can go get laser hair removal.  It actually kills the root though so the hair will never grow back.  Some people need up to five treatments, but it is so worth it!  Imagine never having to shave again!  \n\nOnly thing is before you do this make sure you are never going to want facial hair.  Even if you don't do so many treatments that all the roots die it will be really, really thin.  Too thin to grow anything you'd be proud of...lol.\n\nWell, here is a link to a really good laser clinic.  They are who I use and recommend.  Good luck!\n\nwww.advancedlaserclinics.com

Laser hair removal can be very effective, but you will most likely need to go back in every once in a while for touch-ups.\n\nI recently interviewed a person who has had multiple laser hair removal treatments. You can take a look at the interview here: http://laserhairportal.com/blog/case-study-with-osh/\n\n\nIf you have dark hair with light skin, then you are probably a very good candidate. \n\nHere are a few things to look for when you are comparing different laser hair removal clinics. \n\n1. Make sure that the equipment being used is actually owned by the facility and not just being rented. \n\n2. Find a clinic with a staff that is friendly and highly-trained. You’ll want to invest your money into people that are dedicated to getting you the best possible results. \n\n3. Don’t be fooled by discount laser hair removal clinics. Established medical centers with excellent reputations do not discount their fees. As with all medical procedures, you should look \nfor a clinic with the highest quality, rather than the lowest cost. Laser hair removal requires an experienced and professional staff that provide individual attention and care.

Nov. 4, 2004 -- Balding men and women take note. Hair cloning -- the next hair restoration remedy -- is on the way.\n\nOK, it's not exactly cloning, although that's what it's come to be called. Researchers working to perfect the new technique prefer the term "hair multiplication."\n\nAnd no, it's not ready for prime time. Not yet, says Ken Washenik, MD, PhD. Washenik is medical director for Bosley, the giant hair restoration company that's one of several firms racing to bring hair multiplication to market. He's also clinical assistant professor of dermatology at New York University Medical Center.\n\n"There is no doubt it will be a tremendous breakthrough," Washenik tells WebMD. "It is the thing people have been waiting for. There have been so many remedies for hair loss that didn't pan out. This is one that really looks like it is going to happen -- and happen in the next few years."\n\nIt's not just hype, says hair researcher George Cotsarelis, professor of dermatology and director of the hair and scalp clinic, at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine in Philadelphia. Cotsarelis consults for Bosley, but is not involved in the company's research program.\n\n"It is hard to predict whether they will be successful, but there is good evidence that will happen," Cotsarelis tells WebMD. "It is not quackery -- they are not charlatans. It is based on real scientific knowledge. But there are a lot of hurdles still to overcome."\n\nThe promise of early research often evaporates in the harsh light of clinical testing. Yet Washenik predicts that hair multiplication will be available for hair restoration in three or four years.

Let me caution you about buying anything on line.  Nearly all of them are frauds.   What you see in the pic is not what you get in the mail. \n\nGo to a dermatologist and get some literature from reputable sellers.  You're gonna find several things:\n1. good lasers that will deliver professional work are really expensive\n2. removal of hair by laser is not "painless" and the more sensitive the region the more the pain.\n3.  It takes a lot of treatments on the cycle of hair regeneration.  You will be at it for a year or more and your bottom is going to hurt, your under arms even more.\n4.  But when you're done, you will be beautiful and smooth\n5.  You will need the help of a second person to reach all the spots with the right length of exposure.\nwant my number?

I've had laser treatment done, and it works good. I had alot of tiny red veins on my cheeks, and now their pretty much gone.

yes.  it is quite safe and predictable.  the lasers used for cosmetic procedures are highly regulated and tested.  the lasers are set to intensities that penetrate to depths necessary only for the procedure at hand.  the laser is only as good as the person using it however. \n\ni have had 3 laser treatments on my face for permanent removal of facial hair.  i had issues with acne and the treatments have been very helpful.  the sessions were very tolerable.  typically a topical anesthetic cream is rubbed on and allowed to sit on the face for 30-60 minutes.  for more involved procedures, other types of anesthesia may be necessary.  good luck.  you'll do fine.

depending on where they are  - an effective treatment is with a laser.  Many dermatologists and plastic surgeons ofer this service as do many physicians in general.  The procedure, depending on the extent of the problem, normally requires more than one treatment.  Prices vary from place to place so call around to different places.  Small areas can be as little as $75 adn large complex areas can be alot.  Best of luck.

I have PCOS, and have had laser hair removal.  It took 4-5 treatments over the course of a year.  The hair grew back, much thinner, finer, and it is actually white now.  I had my forearms and upper lip done.  Note: Hair on the face is harder to remove and may take more treatments.

A friend of mine had her bikini area done and she said it worked well.  You have to go about 5 times over the course of a year.  It feels like having sunburn but they give you a cream to soothe the pain.  Also, some areas have higher success rates than others.  The tech told my friend that leg hair is really hard to remove successfully.

Go to a salon and get it done professionally -- a Brazilian wax I believe it is called.  Or for more permanent effect go to one of the laser places that removes hair permanently.

Typically guys settle for temporary methods and often choose to remove hair manually perhaps with tweezers.Or by a bit more palatable method; nose and ear hair trimmers.\n\nYou might find a laser hair removal practitioner that is willing to offer ear hair removal but when it comes to nose hair removal, you're probably stuck with shorter-term options like the ones mentioned above.

Yes, I have had this done on my cheeks. The procedure is called Lazar. About two treatments is all it will take. Any vein center or some spa's can do this for you. It is not that costly. Which is good cause insurance will not pay for it. The procedure feels kinda like being snapped with a rubber band. But it is very tolerable. \nGood Luck,\nFaith E
