Ooh! I've done laser hair removal on my face, chin, and sideburns. Yeah, I'm unfortunately extremely hirsute. Don't even know why exactly, since neither of my parents are as hairy as me, not even my dad...ick, don't get me started...

Anyways, I had about 4 (or 5, I can't remember) treatments and it made SUCH a difference. I was forever plucking my chin since they were the thickest and most unattractive and now I don't have to do that any more! Some of the thinner ones are still there, but the most noticeable ones are gone. I suspect I would've gotten much more dramatic and "complete" results if I'd kept having treatments but unfortunately I moved and haven't been able to find a good laser center in SF with the right kind of laser.

BTW, if you are olive- or darker-skinned like me (I'm mexican), my specialist recommended the ND Yag type laser. Which is what I haven't found in my area yet. I think most lasers are some kind of diode, which is best for caucasian and light skin.

If I could, I'd laser *everything* because I really truly need it, and I'm not even being vain when I say that.

Oh, I forgot to add, the laser treatments on my face also completely cleared up my acne! How come they don't use this as acne treatment? Or do they? I'd do it on a regular basis for that reason alone!
