Hey Everyone!
Trying to figure out if underarm hair and bikini hair yields similar results since they look similar coarseness wise. Both grow very quickly personally.
I did 6 underarm sessions with Candela GentleLASE and got regrowth within 2 months. It wasn’t enough at all.
I’m thinking 6 Candela GentleLASE sessions on my bikini will give me the same disappointing result.
Does anyone know if this is true?
If you live in Southern California, I’d like to involve you in a tiny experiment. I will finish your underarms for free … with electrolysis. Just post your actual experience here for other patients to read. Game?
Hi, Michael. I live in the NY Metro! I wish I lived in SoCal!
6 sessions on your underarms as well as your bikini should give you long lasting permanent results. If you did not get good results, then perhaps the settings may have been too low.
Romeo – For the 6 Candela GentleLASE 755 nm sessions, I did two at 12 Joules, two at 14 Joules, and the last two at 16 Joules.
Are these settings normally effective for Type III skin?
16 Joules sounds good. Again, we need to see the color of your underarms. 12 and 14 Joules may have been on the low side. They could have given you higher settings with higher pulse widths, unless they only had the older Gentlelase.
