Here’s a picture of my underarm a few weeks ago (right before an elecrolysis treatment) after 5 laser treatments with GentleLASE alexandrite and around 10-12 five-minute electrolysis treatments to get the few sparse fine hairs that popped up. I had a LOT of hair to begin with, very black and coarse, probably around 3.5 x 5 inches in area on each underarm.
i started with laser (lightsheer diode, 25 joules) and did 5 treatments (+ cleanups). most of the hairs came back, so i started short wave electrolysis. i also had coarse dark hair and a lot of it.
i’ve been clear for a while now.
i’d post a pic of my pits, but an electrologist or two here might recognize the landscape. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Hopefully I get good results like that. I bought my under-arms only, first,to see how laser would work on me (and to make sure I wouldn’t have any serious side effects.) So far, so good.
