A word of wisdom - ask for references from the technician of people they have treated and call them. Better yet, if you know of anyone locally that has had it and hat they thought of their technician.

I did not ask for references and the individual I used did not perform the method correctly and the way she did it was very painful (escpecially the upper lip) and it created MORE hairs. When done incorrectly it is like tweezing, which creates additional hairs for every hair pulled - which will get you in the wrong direction.

I know of some people who have had it done properly and they said it wasn't as painful and it worked for them. Also, I heard laser is great so that might be an avenue too.

Best wishes.
