Hey Anon
I have hair in exactly the same places. I live in Philadelphia, and did
Laser Hair Removal at Jefferson University Hospital. It cost me $2000
for 3 treatments, and my facial hair has not returned at all. I also
had my bikini area done, and it GREATLY reduced the hair there. I
rarely have to shave it at all. I've heard about places that cost more,
and I've heard about some that cost less. It was definately worth it,
its amazing how a little cosmetic procedure like that could make such a
difference in my life. No more waxing...plucking..shaving....or
obsessing over the fact that I might have forgot to do one of my hair
removal regimins before a big date..... What a relief! If you want more
info, I'd be glad to give it to you...
