Hi!
I am still deciding whether or not to do it myself. I've been leary
since I thought it was so expensive. To me, $300 per treatment is
"nothing" in order to wake up in the morning stubble free. I have thick
hair like a man on my chin, neck, cheeks and side burns. Did they do
all of your areas in one treatment ($300 for all of it per treatment)?
Was your hair pretty extensive? From what you said it sounds like they
pretty much did most everything below your nose. Is that true? Did they
do your neck too? I've heard that the price is based on how large the
areas are. What did they tell you about permanence -- how long did they
say your results would last and did they say that you would need more
than two treatments? Sorry for all of the questions but it sounds like
we're in a similar situation as far as the hair is concerned and I'm
very interested in having laser done. Thanks in advance and God bless!
