Has anyone done this before - I just think shaving/waxing my legs is suchhhhh a painnn!!!
I'm considering doing laser but wondering if anyone else hasm had any bad experience with it? If it had any cons (ie. reactions, mistakes) - and if anyone can recommend someone in the GTA area.

Ps. if this is in the wrong area - let me know I didnt know where to post it.

i've gotten my uperlip done. I only had some slight redness for like a couple hours and i had one spot go a weird redish brownish colour for like a week but nothing terrible. I'll warn you though, the second time hurts a lot worse than the first!

i got upper lip done.
umm well its like i think $20 for the first treatment but you have to have a goup package think of like 5 people so me, my mom, my sister, cousin and aunt all went together. also the package only worked for one area and only once. after that it was normal price which was like idk $200 or something? lol i dont really know
i went to this doctor on hamilton area if you want to know the name just ask Happy

it HURTS a lot... it feels like something sharp is slapping you or something and the burnt hair smells really gross

my upper lip was really red and swollen for like 10 min and it felt a bit numb and hot?
LOL

umm
take an advil before and theres this cream they put on you after which cools your skin down

also your skin can get a bit burned in some areas but it goes away in a couple of weeks

hope that helped!! ;)_orange

ahhh that sounds pretty badd...... make sure than if you do go somewhere you go to a reputable place and you arnt allowed to shave/wax during the treatment until all your sessions are done! which could be weeks or months and i saw a lady on tv who went to a bad place and got it done on her armpits and it just kept growing back! dont go for the cheap places

i went to get my bikini done.. i went mayb like 5 times or so and i had almost like nothing left... it takes a while for all hairs to die cuz they all grow in different cycles and u have to catch these hairs in their growing cycle which is like every 6 weeks or smthn.. dunno just google hair follucles or smthn itll say.. but yeh the only downside is ur not allowed to tan.. and u cant pluck/wax in anyway cuz if u remov the hair from the hir follucle u fuck up the cycle.. ur allowed to shave cuz thats on the surface.. in fact they ask that u shave b4 u go for ur treatment and they just do some touchups b4 they go in cuz the laser like burns hair n theres like a burning smell LOL.. as for the pain.. i mean if ur gonna b grown up about it its not that bad.. my area wasnt rli big legs might hurt a bit more.. apparentli the lady was saying when they do beards for men they like freeze them for HOURS before they can do anything.. so we have it good LOL .. and yeh i went to baywood clinic at wellesley n yonge area.. u can i think get packages .. and after doing my research this plc doesnt care if ur over 18 cuz when i went i wasnt.. but i found the plc rli professional n clean n all... and they tend to b a little cheaper than other plcs... but overall im satisfied its VERY worth doing it!
