I want to get about 2-3 treatments on my hairy arms with gentlease. The only probably is I have to wear a tee shirt to work, so im worried about what people will think from going from hairy as to naked arms…
Do you think 2-3 treatments can achieve 50% reduction?
thanks
Sounds like people at work have already seen your hairy arms because, as you said, you have to wear a T-shirt to work. If this is done well, you are going to have some signs of redness around the follicle opening or white pustules perhaps, that others may notice. You may have patchiness as well after you heal. Two or three treatments sounds about right for a reduction only. Do you have coarse, dark hair on light skin?
Why not be honest and say I am having laser hair reduction on my arms because I don’t like having so much hair in this area? What are they going to do to you? Is this going to destroy any relationships with your co-workers? They are going to notice a difference anyway only if they noticed your hairy arms before. Just be honest and confident about this plan of change and people will know it and continue with their business with little care about your hairy arms. Some may even ask you for the name of your laser specialist so they can get their hairy butt lased. It’s funny how honesty begets honesty.

Why you have concern over the opinion of others? You not ask them for money so they have no opinion. This make you happy, then you should be happy. It is best to be happy and not sad. You only have one life so make it happy. 
Dee is correct. If you tell them…they will come. People are very curious about hair removal, but so many are embarrassed to make the call, or discuss with others.
Just be sure to ask your laser practitioner if they offer referral incentives!
Im in the same situation. However, i am looking for a new job anyway, so my plan is to wait until i find a new job and then laser my arms.
But seeing as your not changing jobs… your only option is to come clean really. Unless you can somehow wear long sleeves, or say your getting tattoos or something so that’s why you shaved your arms… They are some of the crazy excuses that have crossed my mind whilst waiting to laser my arms… best of luck
me too, i thought of the tattoo excuse ha! why is it compulsory to wear a short sleeve t-shirt? i would personally cover it up, im thinking of the same thing.
I know its different for everybody, but what is the likely result after 3 treatments? 50% 75% 10% just a rough estimate or a personal result shared would be appreciated!
Do you have to say anything at all? I say if someone asks, tell them what you’re doing. This is not an embarrasing area to treat, so I don’t feel it’s an issue to say that you’re trying to get a reduction there. However, I feel like most won’t ask anyway.
