I have mediterranean skin (Maltese) with dark hairs. Getting my back done.
Treatment Settings
1st 20rf, 24j
2nd 20rf, 26j
3rd 20rf, 28j
I never burnt once, even at 28j i was fine, the pain was tolerable. But when i took my 4th treatment(20rf, 28j) it hurt like hell, I thought i was having an off day for pain tolerance. So he cranked it down to 24j and was giving me breaks but it was still bothering me. I wrote it off as me just being a wuss that day. The next day i was burnt, even where he turned it down, its going away now so im not really concerned, but i cant understand why it was burning me that day but never before. I would have thought my skin would have become more adapted to the treatment. I was using the same guy as before. I will tell him next time what happened, im curious to see what will happen on the 5th. What do you think?
As for the results, there is a substantial reduction or it has turned into fine hair. At this point if it stayed like this i would be totally satisfied. But im going to wait untill everythings finished to give a final judgement. All im really concerened about is the lasting power.
