Hey everyone,
Just thought I’d post a quick pic, not really the best one but might be encouraging. I don’t have tons of hair to begin with, but had a lot on my stomach which is why I started with laser. I originally went to a friends clinic in Yorkville, she worked at a plastic surgeons office there so I was able to get a deal (well a deal compared to their rates). It was $100 for a session on my stomach and nipples vs their normal price of $300. In the end I did 4 sessions but only had to pay for 2. I was treated with the Lumenis One IPL module. After the 4th session I had found this site and learned about IPL so stopped going there. At my current clinic, I did 2 sessions on my full front which was $85 in total with Apogee Elite alexandrite. I unfortunately don’t have any before pictures, but my stomach was completely covered in hair, and under my belly button it was very dark/coarse, the kind where if I shaved it, you’d see it a few hours later and couldn’t hide it without waxing. So there definitely was a lot there, typical guy hair I guess, very dark brown with some almost black.
Anyway, I haven’t shaved the area or done anything to it in forever, and checking my calendar, it’s been 4.5 months since my last session. Not the 6 months we normally have to wait, but there’s been literally no change in over a month, with the section right at my waist line completely smooth actually, and the dark coarse hair all but gone. I wanted to take a pic to show everyone that IPL can be effective if done right (I know I did 2 alex sessions too but honestly I saw the most results from the IPL). You can’t really see hair in the pic, but I guess that’s the point, I have some hair there but it’s very fine. Fine enough that it’s hard to see in a photo vs before where there was tons of it. So just thought I’d post this to show my results and to show that IPL isn’t all that bad 
I tried taking a picture very close but it’s really unflattering and looks ugly so I deleted those. Point is before starting, taking a picture like this you’d 100% have seen all the hair. Also note you can see in my forearms as well the reduction, I used to have very hairy forearms/hands too and again you can see the great results from the apogee.
