I am of middle eastern descent with olive toned skin. I am not too dark I believe. Probably a skin type 4. I have tried laser hair removal in the past with the lightsheer diode. I had 5 treatments done on my underarms, bikini, and 2 treatments on stomach. The stomach did not respond at all because of finer hairs. And I kind of knew that already, but decided to try it anywayz since she was offering me a deal. After five treatments on the underarms and bikini, I would say i still have about 80% hairs. I was really disappointed with my result, specially being a student and basically wasting all that hard earned money.
It’s been over a year since I haven’t got anything done in those areas. Someone from this forum has been kind enough to give me hope and loads of information. This time around, I am going to give the Cynosure Apogee EliteTM Laser a try. I have a consultation booked this friday. I am going to ask to get a test patch done. They charge $99 for underarms, and $99 for bikini area. Which seems reasonable.
Anyway, I wanted to know if you guys have any advice for me…or any questions that I should be asking at the consultation?
