I am currently having laser hair removal done. Right now I am having my bikini area done (I would have said bikini line but as many of us PCOS'ers know there is far to much hair there to even consider it just a line!). I just had my 3rd treatment a couple days ago and so far I would estimate a 60% reduction after the first two treatments. Each treatment ran me about $150(Canadian) this included an extended bikini line (top, sides extending to rear and belly) with the GentleLASE.

I love laser hair removal, it has made me feel "normal". I didn't walk into the clinic expecting to be 100% hair-free afterwards and I think that is why I am so pleased with my results. I would suggest searching the net for info about different types of lasers and visiting as many clinics as possible before having the treatments done.
