Hi, I usually post on cosmetic enhancements forum but Blink asked to post my story here too.
Im genetically male & have had LHr done on my face,underarms & pubes.
I had my face done first & over the course of 14 months ( this was about 3 years ago) had 7 sessions . They used gentlase machine.
This resulted in about 90% reduction of the beard. Ive since had regular electroysis to get the few remaining ones that do come in again also the light/fine ones that lhr wont do anyway.
My underarms were the best results with, id say, over 99% of the hair gone with 6 sessions.I think Ive only had about 6 hairs done there with electro since!
Pubes had good result for a while ( quite painful tho!) but after about a year I had a lot of regrowth. I kinda fell out with the laser clinic over retreatment costs of this area so I had electrolysis done instead.
( all my electro is done at a different place)
Its quite painful in places (topside of the penis especially!)
But ive got a really great electroligist, I cant recomend her highly enough!
I still see her for top ups every few months but I never have to shave now, its FAB!
Thank you for taking your time to tell us your story and congratulations on your success!
Blink, in case you didn’t know it, is top contributer, LAgirl, here on hairtell and we all appreciate her so much for her helpful, consistent participation.
You had a great LASER involved with your treatments along with a great laser specialist, no doubt, to get such good results. That’s what it takes if you are a good laser candidate.
Did you not use EMLA or something close to that for the pubic area? That would have helped with the ouch factor.
Would you care to share the electrologist’s name with others? That is partly why we network here on this forum. It is all meant to be helpful to others who want to find someone good.
Thank you for your post!

hi, thanx for the comments.
Im in UK & the laser clinic I used was SK:N, they have clinics all over UK. quite expensive but very professional. They do not do electrolysis.
For that I use a very good beauty salon in glasgow called “About Face” They too are very professional. & I recomend them highly!
Thanks a lot!
