About one month ago I decided to do laser. They did my back: didn't hurt too bad one treatment and so far no hair at all! Sweet!
Then the face: my body hair is very light blonde but my face is dark enough for laser I guess. First off they didn't tell me it was going to hurt at all just said "sensitive" so I though OK you get a sun burn the next day. No it was more like fire on my face and I was starting to cry by the end. They also said it would be like my back only having to shave patches once a month (after the first of probably a few treatments). Nope. Had to shave each day but I can see circles the shape of the laser in less growth patches.
I don't know if I can do that again. Can you do electrolysis instead? The HRT is working really well on body hair but only slows down the face( five oclock shadow 2 days later instead of 8 hours, but still I tried not shaving for 4 days and it didnt look good at all) I like the rest of me but body/face hair is my dysphoria so this absolutely has to get resolved.
Im not going back to that place and it wasn't some shit clinic it was 180$($200 for men and had to tell them I wasn't paying mens prices to which the girl replied "yeah but your not female right now". If she wasn't holding a powerful laser and 50$ of my money and 2 hours time I would have told her off. Thats for each "area" which is equal to half the chest or just the face at a plastic surgeon. Said it was a NdYAG laser: Neodynium Yttrium argon gas laser with out puts in IR and green spectrum if you are wondering. NdYAG lasers are not something new/fancy you can watch people play with/build them in their garages on youtube so they must be making a killing off that price.
Oh then they handed me the bill with the option of 20%30%or 50% tip! No option for not a tip until I told them I wasn't paying extra since they already got me for 50$ consultation fee that I didn't know about. A ****ing tip at a doctors office for something that costs 1000$ an hour? **** you.
