I am thinking about getting laser hair removal, but I am worried about whether there will be any effects that could be dangerous or bad!. Also, is there a age limit!? I am 16 but will be 17 when I am thinking about doing it!.

Answers:
I was a good candidate because I am fair skinned with very dark course hair!. It doesn't work on blond or lighter hair or grey hair!. It is not guaranteed to get rid of it all, but sometimes it can!. In my case it got rid of so much that is was totally worth it to me!. I have very long legs and that is a lot to be shaving all the time!.

Ok I had it on 5 different parts of my body!. Now I am older 38 almost 39 and I had it a few years back!. It isn't dangerous, but it is painful!. Now I have a very high pain tolerance!. I had a baby via csection and I took no meds afterwards and let me tell you it felt like a mac truck had hit my middle, but I managed!.

Ok went in the first time not knowing what to expect!. use the numbing cream and take an a few ibuprofin beforehand!. i don't want to scare you, but it is painful, but nothing you can't get thru!. I shook and sweated somethign fierce when they did my bikini area and underarms and the fronts of my legs where there is no fat!. Now I am very thin so she said that it isn't quite like that when you have some fat on you!. You have some cushion there!.

It feels like someone snapping you really hard with a rubber band and a little burning at the same time, but it doesn't last long!. Then after the treat each area they put this cooling lotion on and it feels like heaven and stops hurting!. I really felt no pain after the treatment it is just during!. You wear special glasses to protect your eyes!. Shave all the hair off because if the laser catches that hair it tends to hurt a little more!.

Ok so after all of this and each time it is a little easier though with each treatment they turn up the heat so to speak!.

I am so very happy with my results!. even though I have had some hair growth back in some places it is so light and soft you can only tell by looking and not touching!. It left my skin clear and smooth!. Baby smooth!. I do suggest leaving a small patch of hair covering your vagina area!. This is the most painful area to do and also the older you get the less pretty that area is-ha!. That is according to my gyn and she has seen enough to know thru out the years!.

Good luck and get it done by a good place that has nurses that do it!. Don't be too scared!. They are so good at these places making you feel comfortable!.

Oh another is try to schedule it after or before your period!. It is more painful during this time because of hormones!. Unfortuntely mine happened to hit everytime I had mine-ouch!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is not dangerous as long as you go to someone qualifed!. You probably need to get parental consent for the treatments!. Make sure you go to someone good and go to the attached sites to get more info and a certified provider!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's a little bit painful and you will have some redness!.!. Also I have blond hair and although the technician told me at the time that it would work, my hair started growing back, although not quite as thick!. I don't think I would do it again, the cost was not worth it!. IF you have lighter hair I would be hesitant that it will work long termWww@Answer-Health@Com

ok i am 12 years old and my mom does it!. she knows what shes doing and no there is no age limit!. she does my lip, my legs, my armpits, and my forehead!.

nope!. no effects!. just turn pink, but they usually put aloe on it and it makes it go away in atleast 10 minutes!. i actually got it done today(:

its really easy!. they take u in to the room and then they pur u on the table and they make u put on glasses!. u get a special pair if u are doing ur face!.
theres a bright red light that goes and then a cold spray!. it doesn't hurt me at all it just scares me cause im afraid of the cold spray lol!.
