Hi Lemon,

I think it varies from person to person how many times you have to go. I've probably gone 6 times and I think I'm done for now.

I also wanted to go to someplace with a good reputation. So, I've gotten my treatments done at the plastic surgery center at my health clinic. I figure that they are more likely to have strict education requirments than a local salon. Also, my dermatologist recommend this person.

Anyway, I'm reallllly happy with the results. And it was definately worth the investment for making me feel better about myself.
Thanks for your reply. This was the kind of response I was looking for to my OP. I wanted to hear other people's experiences on permanent hair removal.

Anyway... with all that being said, was the cost $100 total or $100 per treatment? I am assuiming it was $100 per treatment. If it was only $100 total, they'd have more business than they could handle, lol.

Also... did you have any problems with your skin after treatment? Did your skin peel? I have heard that laser sort of gives you a sunburn. Is this true?

Anyway thanks for your reply. I am wondering if electrolysis might not be a better way to get rid a few dark chin hairs and some on my neck that I have to constantly tweeze.

I am going to have to check in the pros and cons of each method.

Anyway.. thanks again.
