First, hello to the forum members.
I’ve found a couple of laser hair discussion boards and this seems to be a far more active and helpful community.
A bit of background. Married 23 years. 46 and 44 years old. Two teens at home. Both business suit professionals.
We’ve been shaving ourselves ans\d/or each other for about 5-6 years. I love the smooth look and feel on both of us. For me, with tough skin I can shave, epilate or whatever with no bother. She has terrible ingrowns and chafing that she’s tolerated.
She found a Valentines Day laser special 5 months ago and wanted to start with underarms. She spoke to them and worked a deal and said to me…“If you’ll do the full Brazilian laser I will too”.
After the first armpit and Brazilian treatment she added full legs so will have laser from the chin down, all off…my dream.
About me, as a male I considered this a long time. It is a lifetime decision. I’ve shaved it all off around the pubic area for years and have epilated for about two years. We went together and after four trips there could not be happier. Results exceed expectations, to understate it. Her lack of chafing and my never-again ingrowns are a joy.
Apogee Elite dual band with 755-nm Alexandrite laser and the 1064-nm Nd:YAG laser.
The 755-nm is perfect for her type-2 light skin/dark body hair.
The 755-nm burned me a bit on my darker scrotal skin and peri-anal area. I knew laser would hurt and tried to be too tough and tolerated what amounted to some skin burning. Switching to the 1064 YAG on my second trip for the more pigmented type 4 skin areas I have prevented the blisters from the first treatment…perfect.
We found a buy 4/get 6 pricing deal and got a further price break for the multiple areas we’re getting done together.
The place is treating us every 6 weeks, closer than most I’ve read, but the promotional pricing gives us free-forever touchups. Quite a deal so I am not worried about the shorter than usual interval between treatments.
So far, after four treatments, most recently five weeks ago:
Her arm pits seem, amazingly 100% gone. I can find a rare fine hair. I know with time more will appear perhaps.
Her legs after two treatments…maybe still on the “hair holiday” but 60% reduction.
Her pubic hair…She’s a very light type-1 or 2 skin down there with very course dark hair. The dark thick ones are 100% gone. Her labia have a good number of fine light hairs that may be resistant but are invisible from three feet without good light and close inspection.
Me! My vanishing pubic hair.
I’m thrilled 90% gone. A few fine but dark hairs are coming in.
Fifth treatment for us both in a week.
I’ll update.
Fantastic experience, save the blisters on my darker areas from the 755nm the first time.
Money well spent thus far and it’s been a fantastic bonding experience for my lifetime committed monogamous life with my lovely wife.
