Hair Removal Update!!!

For all those out there keeping track here's the scoop on the hair removal.

I started with the arm pits and moved to the bikini area and up to my belly button. Only once did I feel like I was being stabbed and that was one random hair follicle on my belly. OMG did it hurt!!!! Besides that it was all tolerable.

After two treatments on my arm pits I'm only shaving once a week and that is just little stray hairs that are still growing. I think with one more treatment I won't have to shave at all.

The bikini area hurt less than the arm pits...strange huh? I think it will take probably 4 treatments all together. I can already tell a difference with one treatment. The hair is thinner and doesn't seem to be growing as fast.

With the bikini area they make you put on these sumo underwear...the same stuff you use when you get a spray tan. The funny thing is that they are black and the laser disintegrates anything black so every once in a while it burns the little sumo undies and there is a little puff of smoke. You would think they would make them white or something, but I guess you could see through them if they were white. In all honesty I would prefer just to have them off, but the lady probably doesn't want to be seeing that. And I thought of asking if I could take them off, but I didn't want to be weird or offend her or something. That might be against laser hair removal etiquette.

Seriously, I am SO jealous that you only have to shave your underarms once a week... I MUST DO THIS!

I have always wondered if this laser hair-removal thing worked, and if it hurt. I'm glad that it has been mostly pain-free. The idea of not having to shave my underarms is very appealing.
