Hi guys I’m new to this forum and it’s so useful. Couldn’t find anything useful on the Internet. I have had 2 sessions on full legs bikini - full ouch and lower back plus stomach area as have fine hai there. Bikini area is great would say I’ve seen a massive reduction. The reason I decided to have laser hair removal is due to ingrown hair on legs. Still have them but therapist stated will get better. And I had unsightly scars due to using epilator and regret using it. I am using lightsheer at 20j CSM withstand the pain but not on bikini. I will say to move to 25j next session on legs stomach and lower back. Having underarms done as well best results there. About 80% reduction already. Concerned stomach area may not be that great as fine hair. Can anyone recommend electrolysis practitioner in uk up north? Bikini area 70 % reduction already but as I’ve paid for 6 sessions will go ahead with package. Should I have upper lip treated with laser or electrolysis? Will keep everyone updated. Sorry regarding spelling mistakes as using iPhone…
iPhone corrects spelling mistakes. I don’t see any misspelled words, so it did the job.
I would get electrolysis on your upper lip. As far as seeing a practitioner in the UK up north, I can’t advise. Maybe some references will pop up here for you. You can go to our sister website www.hairfacts.com to get some pointers on choosing an electrologist. If you find someone you are happy with, please come back to this thread and let all your fellow hairy ones know about your great experience.
Laser is great for the areas you are having treated. You will still need some help after these areas are lased, so finding a good electrologist for your lip is a good idea because you will need her/him to finish up your other areas, if you so desire. Some people are happy with the reduction and don’t mind shaving the thinner hairs that remain.
Thanks for your reply. I’m thinking of going ahead with remaining 4 sessions and then opt for electrolysis if required. Will keep everyone updated. I had last session a week ago and next on is scheduled in 4 weeks. Too soon so will arrange for january. Still have itchy lower legs ouch but will try not too scratch.
You’ll need at least 5-6 treatments spaced about 2 months apart no matter what. You can’t tell 80% reduction just yet. Hair grows in cycles and you’re only seeing hair affected in the first cycle of growth. Hair from the next cycle will come in in a month or two.
We recommend minimum of 25J on LightSheer and higher if your skin can handle it, in order to achieve permanent damage to the follicles.
