Re: Laser Treatments?

I wish the hair would fall out!!!...but unfortunately it doesn't. The hair
removal treatments that are optional (that I know of) are
Electrolosis.....which is where they insert a tiny tiny needle into the hair
folicule and send electronic impulses to the root...which then kills the
hair folicule....this treatment is cheaper than Laser but much much more
painful and it takes much longer to tell a difference. (I did Electrolosis
for Four years and it did work but it took for years to remove 50% of my
hair....Laser took a couple of months and removed all the hair.....the only
reason it took a couple of months is because you have to wait a while
inbetween treatments to let regrowth come back) Also an option is Laser
Treatments....which is a laser beam that goes through the skin and kills the
hair folicule.....it is not painful at all.....but is very expensive (for
whole face and neck around $1500-$2000 total, devided amoung 3-4
treatments...which is usually the amount of treatments needed).....I
recomend the Laser (i have done both)
Remember there are around 150 hair folicule per square inch of your face (so
don't be dicouraged if the treatments don't cure them all the first
time....just make sure you are taking medicine for hiritism...the problem
has to be cured on the inside before you can fix the outside!!
I hope this helps....Have a Good Easter!!!!!
(Ask your Gyno or Endrocronologist or Look in the Business Directories)
Or maybe someone can help you if you tell us the City and State you are
in...ya know maybe someone has a recommendation!!!!!
