Laser Hair Removal Procedure: What To Expect!

What To Expect From Laser Hair Removal – Interview With A Husband And Wife
By Lori S.M. Hollenback

Q1: What made you want laser hair removal?

Wife: My husband and I are very active and in the summer are always swimming or going to the lake to wakeboard and relax. So, I’m constantly shaving and waxing different parts of my body to retain a smooth look and feel.

Husband: I don’t mind hair on my body, but I’m spanish-Italian and probably have a little more hair and thicker hair than the average guy. So, I wanted to start laser hair removal just to thin some of it out and even remove it from some places of my body for a smoother look. And, like my wife stated, we are very active and are always outdoors during the summer. This will be a time saver.

Q2: What body parts did you get the treatment on?

Wife: Well, I didn’t start with just one body part I went ahead and started treatment on several body parts including my upper lip, under arms and bikini area.

Husband: My wife actually signed me up for the treatments that included my back, the back of my neck and the front of my neck and my arms.

Q3: How did you find your doctor?

Wife: I found our doctor in a rush. I was planning on purchasing my husband and me treatment packages for Christmas and as the holiday got closer I found myself doing little research and interviewing a doctor that I had found a special on in the paper. I liked the facility, but having been through the consultation and pricing once I would definitely research a few more places in the future before committing and inquire about their laser equipment and any laser certifications held by the Physicians. The one thing I found interesting was that negotiating on the price of the treatments was like buying a car. They were willing to negotiate prices based on the type of treatments I requested.

Husband: My wife found the doctor; she actually purchased the laser hair removal treatments as a Christmas present for me.

Q4: How many treatments have you had?

Wife: I’ve had a total of five treatments on all my body parts. The one thing I found interesting is the time frame you have to wait in between each treatment. For the upper lip treatments I have to wait six weeks in between each treatment. And for the underarms and bikini area I have to wait 10 weeks in between treatments. I still have at least one more treatment for each body part remaining.

Husband: I’ve had about four treatments on all my body parts. Unlike my wife, I think I’ll need more treatments as my hair is a lot darker and thicker than hers.

Q5: How are the treatments working? Has your hair stopped growing?

Wife: After the initial treatment I couldn’t tell a difference in some areas. So, the second treatment they went over those areas twice with the laser. Now, each time I go I can tell a difference. I used to shave my underarms every other day, now I’m only shaving them every four days. So, it’s definitely starting to work.

Husband: I’ve been through five treatments and so far I haven’t realized too much of a difference. But since my hair is thicker I’m told that I may need more laser hair removal treatments. The physicians tell me that everyone’s experience is different.

Q6: Is the laser hair removal treatment ever painful?

Wife: It’s not painful for me but it’s not comfortable. It feels like tiny little rubber bands snapping me. And depending on the area and the sensitivity it hurts less or more.

Husband: I don’t have the rubber band snap sensation, but my laser hair removal treatments get hot and sometimes feel like it burns. It’s very uncomfortable.

Q7: Would you recommend laser hair removal treatments to others?

Wife: I think the concept of laser hair removal is great and if you don’t have to shave or you shave less I think it’s beneficial. I’ve seen some great results so far with the laser hair removal treatment so I would recommend the procedure up to what I’ve received, but I’m not done with the treatments so I’m not sure how the results will end, so I’ll have to wait to see how it goes.

Husband: I think the benefits are great, but because of my hair being so thick and my skin being so light it’s taking more treatments, more money and more time to see results. So, at this moment I wouldn’t recommend it, but I’m going to stick through it and see if I get some results after a few more treatments.

8: What advice would you give anyone wanting the treatments?

Wife: I’d recommend that you at least research and interview at least three different locations and physicians. I thought the negotiation of the prices was unusual and now wonder if all the places are like that. I also noticed that the first physician I had doing my treatments wasn’t as good as a second physician that I am now working with. So, I’d make sure to really shop around to find the exact location and physician that’s right for you.

Husband: Research. I’d research a few more places and compare prices, ask for testimonials from other customers and inquire about any laser certifications held by the physicians.
