Laser
This is a late post but I promised you I'd update you so I shall. The Laser Hair removal on my nether regions took place last Wednesday. First of all I decided to NOT go with Alase. They wanted to charge me $1500.00 for the Brazilian and then my friend Deannie found out that a local spa does something similar for much cheaper. It's called Smooth Exposure and uses less intense light to induce hair removal. THEY say that Alase uses lots of intense light - more then what is needed for hair removal. I am slightly skeptical. I have learned in my years that you get what you pay for. I am getting pits and bikini done by Smooth Exposure for a 42% smaller wallet dent. SO now I can explain the procedure and whatnot...I was in and out in 30 minutes. It would have taken less time but I had a lot of questions.
- Can I shave in between procedures?
- How long will this take?
- Is there anything I shouldn't do afterwards?
- How many teatments does this take?
- Can you hear my stomach growling? I'm hungry.
First she had me put on an ever sexy pair of disposable underwear. They basically looked like a very long piece of gauze that went from front to back and was secured around the waste by a thin piece of elastic. Sexy! Then She had me put on a gown that was strapless, beige, and equally sexy.
Then I hopped up on the bed and she zapped one pit at a time. The tool she used looked like a scanner that the check out girls use at Target. It flashed a beam of light in to your pit and sent a shock through your skin, essentially singing the hair underneath the skin. It was not painful but more shocking. Before and after she'd zap you the tech would roll a frozen stainless steal rolling pin on the treated area. This acted like a sterile reusable ice cub. This process was repeated on my nether regions which was a little more sensitive but thankfully FAST.
My next appointment is in July. I was told to expect some hair "purging" between now and then. Basically all the dead hair follicles are supposed to fall out of my skin. I haven't noticed any thing extreme but I'll let you know if that changes.

I've been meaning to ask you about the laser hair removal! You didn't say what they said about the questions you asked!! When will you go again? How does it look? How does it feel? Is it Brazillian or regular (lately, every time I see that word, I think Bridezilla, ha ha ha!) MORE DETAILS, please!!! This is something I'd consider doing!!

I don't really know much yet. I haven't seen any change. I don't look less hairy but that's why you have to go to 4+ treatments. I am due to go again on July 12th. It feels like a sting each time she puts the light thing on you. Not bad at all but kind of uncomfortable. I got a semi brazilian. I say that b/c I thought a true Brazilian is getting all up in your crack and whatnot but she did not do that. She basically did everything I sit on....does that make sense?
