There is a clinic right next to my pdoc's office (same building) that does laser hair removal. It is done by an MD doctor. It's a clinic that does stuff like botox, etc.

I stopped in while waiting for my appointment and asked about pricing.

It's about $600 to do my eyebrows, lip, and chin ($150 per session, they said it takes an average of 4 sessions to get it all).

It would be another $700 to do the bikini area.

Is it worth the cost? Does it work? Anyone done it and had a good/bad experience?

I have really thick, course, black hairs, and very white skin. That should mean good results with the laser treatment.

I was thinking of using our tax stimulus check for this.

Just as a comparison...a brazilian bikini wax is about $60. So I would "pay for it" after about 12 times. (although I don't always get waxed, sometimes I shave). The eyebrows/lip/chin I can do myself for maybe $5-$10 each time (those home wax kits). So that would be "paid for" in about 60 weeks. So just over a year kinda.

Hmm....
