I heard that people did not like b/c have to go multiple times and ends up not 100% and every time you leave it is like you have a sever sunburn and is painful. Never had it done just heard about it. I am sticking to the Razor for now. lol

I almost bought an Advanced Laser Clinic franchise. I would recommend them. They make you go for 5 treatments to get the guarantee because that is what is really required to get rid of all the hair.
Hair has three stages of growth, and you must go get lasered during all 3 stages, and 2 times while the hair is in between stages (Total of 5 times). That is why it is not 100% when these places offer to do a 3 treatment program so they'll appear cheaper.
Also, the severe sunburn thing is a myth. THat will only happen if you go tanning before you go in for the treatment, which is something you shouldn't do. Go in for a consultation and they'll tell you all the things that you shouldn't do in order for everything to go smoothly. People used to get burned very badly when electrolysis was the method for hair removal. Your skin will be a little red but that's it.
It doesn't hurt that badly, it feels like getting popped by a little rubber band.
Works best on people with dark hair/light skin, but the technology is getting to where that won't be a problem.
*EDIT THe cost varies.. to do your back and shoulders $600-900 or so but whole body will be in the thousands.. mid thousands ($5-6,000)
Weigh this versus the cost of razors/wax and time savings forever and you have the answer as to whether it's worth it to you or not

good info, I am also very interested can you tell me more about the treatment, like how long does it take? if you have more hair is it more money? if you already shave must you let your hair grow all the way out?

My friend's dad owns it and performs laser hair removal. She told me you have to go 4 times, and each time there is just less hair growing. When I saw her she had it done on her armpits (and her vagina of course), and the hair on her armpits just fell out. Her dad charges around 300 or 400 a session, for 4 sessions. I think that is the price.

I'm interested in it as well. Here's my worry. Say I have it done, then do a few test cycles. Will I once again have hair on my chest.
