I had the whole shebang done about 4 years ago. At that time, the laser was still somewhat new, so I believed them when they said it would get ALL the hairs (no one said anything about blonde ones). I had lip, underarm, bikini and legs done (3 treatments each).

I'm about 60-70% hair free in all of those areas.

NOTE OF CAUTION : DO NOT WAX BEFORE A TREATMENT It prevents the laser from following a hair down to the follicle (if there is no hair there).

I was also told to have it done during the winter for the best results. Your follicles are more active in the winter (seriously, ever notice that when you get goosebumps, you get automatic stubble on your legs, even if you just stepped out of the shower)?

I spent $2800 for my three treatments. For that kind of money, I would say that it wasn't worth it, as I have mostly blonde hair anyway.
