@MurphGiovanni Yes i hated shaving my face very very much. I hated to get up in the morning and shave. Having laser hair removal on my face was like a burden off my head. The hair on my face was very coarse & hard. I would use a brand new gilllette mach 3 blade which would last me only about 2 or 3 shaves because my hair was that hard. I would also have to soften my hair with hot/warm water to soften the hair, the warm/hot water would flare up my rosacea. Thats another reason i got laser done.
@Starsky5000 you hated shaving your face that much??
@MurphGiovanni yes it hurts like hell. I have dark coarse hair on my face. It’s the perfect hair for laser to target. But the more coarser your hair is the more it hurts. In the beginning when i started it hurted so much tears came running down my eyes. But as the treatments progressed it still hurted but a litttle less. I took the pain because i know the end result will be worth it less or no hair to shave on my face. Thank God i don’t have to shave my face anymore ever perhaps.
@Starsky5000 doesn’t it hurt like crazy to get hair removed from your face? i am thinking that facial hair is probably the most coarse, and coarse areas hurt so bad…i had my chest done…i had to get it done on such a low setting bc even half-power of the laser felt like being stung by 1000 hornets at once…what was your pain level like? i guess maybe my skin is sensitive, but to me, this hurt 100x more than waxing…too expensive too…i spent like 6 grand for shitty results
I wish they had an special offer for hairy balls
@DOSU344 LOL
I plan to take laser training in arizona laser institute, but i don’t know whether i could use their certification in NY. and have any online paramedical esthetics program to recommend?
@dlss87 this is the reason you should stick to the same nurse. I had the same technician for the last 7 months treating my face so as to avoid things like this. I hope the burns are nothing serious.
It’s been 7 months later since iI went to Romeo & Juliet in NYC and i’m am extremely pleased with my results thus far. 95% hairless on my entire male face. One more treatment & touch up to go and it should be totally cleared. At Romeo & Juliet laser hair removal is all they do & my technician had 10 years of experience.
@MissMission I agree with you on this. I went to Romeo & Juliet in NYC and i’m am extremely pleased with my results thus far. 95% hairless on my entire male face. One more treatment & touch up to go and it should be totally cleared. At Romeo & Juliet laser hair removal is all they do & my technician had 10 years of experience.
@AmericanLaserRipOff OMG i’ve heard only bad things about American Laser Center. It’s amazing they are still in business.
@ImaginarYxGoddesS it worked very well for me. I’m a guy and i’m 95% hairless on my face thus far after 5 treatments & 5 touchups. One more treatment & one more touchup to go & then it should be all clear. I am west indian (a little darker skin type so they used Yag laser). I went to Romeo & Juliet in NYC & my technician had 10 years of laser hair removal experience. I’m very happy.
i have veryyyyy pale skin and dark hair, will this work? lol
This poly-chronic light is the reason why IPL is prone to damaging skin. Eg, Mediterranean skin types do not handle IPL very well. There are dermatologists in Sydney that offer IPL for improvement of pigmentation, however, they are honest enough to deter their Mediterranean clients from it because it does more damage than good. Do you work at an IPL clinic? They’ll convince you they’re the best by using technical words. Final note, all information points to lasers being more effective.
this it permanantly remove hair, or does the hair grow back
@varone6t9
Your hormones are still booming up to this age, which is why may be someone told you this. The truth is that our hairs grow through our entire life and I know of nothing that can prevent them from showing up as we have it genetically programmed to have hairs growing at certain spots at certain age. Lasers, IPL etc. destroy only the active hairs at the moment, this does not mean that in 10 years you will not have new hairs growing, but they will be only few and thinner.
@MissMission
I disagree with you. The lasers have monochromatic light, which does not go deep enough in the skin, like the ruby, alexandrite and diode lasers. When the laser’s wavelength allows for deeper penetration like the ND:YAG ones the pigmentation of the hair does not accumulate enough energy for destroying the follicle. The IPL photoepilation uses poly-chronic light, which combines the advantages of all lasers without their disadvantages.This way even the deepest follicles are destroyed
what song is it at 3:09-3:16 plz someone tell me plz its sound like spa music but i need a name

The scare tactics by doctors and especially newscasters in this video are appalling. They will find the few individuals who have a problem and then sensationalize the heck out of it! 99.9% of individuals do not have complications with laser hair removal although I do agree that legislation should be required for all states but not necessarily that doctors alone should do the procedures because then the costs will go through the roof without quality competition.

can someone please answer these questions… Someone told me that if your under 25 it will not work because body hair stops growing at age 25, If its not true i will run to my nearest laser location

there are now at home hair removal systems such as the silk’n sensepil that uses a new light technology
What is the best solution for people with dark skin to do with their hair ?
