Could you tell us about the laser removal experience? I'm curious about that. How many sessions? How long does it last? Costs (if you don't mind)? Thanks!
Sorry man, I didn't see this reply.
Sessions: 12 so far. I could probably do one more. The last two have been "touchup" sessions. I have only done these two in the last year.
How long does it last? Well so far it seems mostly permanent. I still have some hairs in the perineal area that I want to get removed.
Cost: About CAD$135/session. They are very expensive because there are very few techs that will do that area for men. It is significantly cheaper for women - like $40/session lol.
You have to be shaved for the appointment. No plucking - you need a follicle. Hair absorbs the laser's energy; that's how the follicle is killed. More hair = less energy focused on the hair in the follicle.
It is somewhat painful. Like lots of little rubber bands hitting you. The front part is actually the worst. Also gets really, really warm.
There are different machines. I recommend you find someplace with the latest tech. My place upgraded halfway through my treatments to a Cynosure Elite+ unit, which I found worked way better with less pain. Newer machines will also kill hairs on any skin color - I think the only thing lasers can't remove are grey and white hairs.
