Hi I recently moved to Nyc from Miami and can no longer receive my laser hair treatment at Body Oasis Beauty and Wellness Spa. (the costs of flying are unbelievable). However, since I bought a package deal with them, I can’t get a refund, but they told me I could sell the service to anyone. The treatments i received were on time and good. They have 3 lasers at their sites. They have an alexandrite from cynosure, a lumenis light sheer diode, and I believe a yag from cutera. I have $2150 left over from my package and would like to sell it for $1850. You get $300 extra. Also, they have a promotion right now for 2499 (full body hair removal which inclused bikini, legs, arms, and underarms. This is the website if you would like to check it out http://www.bodyoasisbeauty.com/. Also, it can be used for other service instead of laser hair removal such as botox or removal of varicose veins/ spider veins, or laser liposuction. Each procedure i overlooked by a medical doctor as well. I have been trying to sell this product on craigslist and it’s been hard because there are some very untrustworthy people out there, but I’m glad I found this site. I had thick black hair on underarms and legs and after a few treatments, it was much lighter. I am sure that if I had finished the treatments, I would get at least a 90 percent reduction on the areas. If you have any questions,please feel free to contact me at nekzak@aol.com. This is especially for people in the miami area or close to it. Thank you.
Spirit Air is just one airline. It’s not always cheapest. I’d recommend to compare flight prices at a site like [www.Kayak.com], which searches Spirit along with dozens of other airlines. In low hurricane season, like right now, rates are low.
actually i just started new treatments (paid up front for 3 treatments to get rid of remaining hair) at advanced derma laser in midtown new york and I had a question. They use the gentlelase alexandrite which I know is a good machine based on my skin tone. However, I am only used to the light sheer diode and I understand the settings for that machine. I am very good at dealing with pain and I know I can handle high settings with no burns, but I was wondering is 20 joules at 18 mm spot size better or 15 mm with 30 joules. I am veryyyy light skin with dark hair (lighter now after my initial treatments with the diode in miami). also I am still selling this package and body oasis for anyone who lives in miami or someone who dosen’t mind traveling so much (I personally mind seeing as I have school and a job), if someone wants it please contact me and even go to the place for a consultatino. Again, the package is for anything (not just laser hair removal), it can be for other cosmetic needs all performed by a doctor. check the website out, it’s a good place and I just don’t want to see my money go to waste. Thanks again.
20J at 18mm is best in most cases from what I’ve heard. For super small areas or very very shallow hairs, some might suggest the smaller spot size, but in general the 18mm is ideal.
Yes, I’d go with 18mm 20 J if your skin can handle it. That’s the max. 30j is max on 15mm and some think lower spot size helps treat finer hair, but others disagree.
sorry guys I just have one more question. all of you are so helpful, but when i went in manhattan to get my treatment, she asked me if I wanted to do my arms. My arms do have darker hair than my skin, but not as coarse as underarms and legs. however, she did a patch test at 18mm and 18 j and the hairs popped right out and my skin got red and bumpy (which is always a good sign indicative of peri- follicular edema) rite now after 2 weeks, its as smooth as when she lasered it, so my question is should I do it? I mean I don’t expect to be bare or even have a 85 percent reduction, but I would like a 70% reduction with finer hair and I was wondering if this would b possible. also i forgot to mention above that body oasis in miami has free touchups for life which is a very good deal, the place i’m going to now (advanced derma laser) charges money for each touchup, but a low maintenance fee so it’s not too bad. so please let me know if anyone is still interested and you can even look at the web site http://www.bodyoasisbeauty.com/ or call them at 305-947-0751 to schedule a consultation. Thanks again everyone
sorry i meant after 4 weeks, not 2*
Can you post a photo of your arms? Is it just lower arms? Upper arms are definitely not coarse enough on the majority of women. Lower arms could get some reduction. It really depends.
ive decided not do it, it dosent bother me that much. but i have another question. i have a cousin who has a hairy stomache (not course at all on the side, fine and long hairs and a bit dark), i know laser can’t possibly target them though, but she was desperate and did it, luckily no laser induced growth, but it still is a cosmetic problem and shes emotionally distressed. I know that you are knowledgeable about electrolysis on the stomache. how many hours did u need to receive permanent hair removal (i know this depends on many factors, but i would just like to tell her what to expect if she decided to do this.
The trail in the middle of the stomach can often be affected with laser since it’s often coarse enough. The rest is usually too fine.
Electrolysis takes 18 months or so if you go on schedule. The fastest way to do it is to have long treatments at the start to clear the area. Then you just come in every 2-3 weeks to kill any new hairs that popped up. After a few months, she’d only have to come in every 3-4 weeks. The important part is having long enough treatments each time to leave the appt hairless each time.
