Laser hair removal

December2012

Id love to get bikini done.

What should I look for when considering laser hair removal.

How many sessions does it typically take and does the cost make it worthwhile?

It depends on your colouring- if you are pale with dark hair it should work on you.
Just make sure you do your research and find somewhere reputable! I have been getting it done in Dublin for about a year and a half. Started off getting it every 4 weeks I think, then 6 weeks, then 8 weeks. Now I just get it done about every 3 months or so to keep it 'topped up.'

The place I go to charges €60 a session (lip, underarm and bikini) which is less than I'd have spent on waxes, so money-wise it's worked out well for me.
Just make sure you get a patch test or one session first to see if it takes because you don't want to go somewhere that you have to fork out a big wad of cash upfront only for it not to suit your colouring.

There are definitely more threads on this subject so do a boards search too to see what has been discussed/recommended here before.

Thanks, is that €60 separately for all three, or each?

If you're not happy with shaving, tweezing, or waxing to remove unwanted hair, laser hair removal may be an option worth considering to Remove bikini line hair.
After an initial consultation and patch test to determine your skin type, hair colour and thickness, your therapist will make a decision on the frequency of the laser treatment, and also a prediction of how many sessions will be needed.
Depending on the size of the area being treated, each session can take as little as 10-15 minutes.
Laser hair removal costs from £75 per session.
The cost varies widely, depending on factors that include:

--Size of the area being treated and time required for treatment
--Number of treatments required
--Whether a doctor or someone else is performing the procedure
--The part of the country where you are having the procedure

I bought a machine myself, i'm in the process of legs and bikini and will do armpits as well. I travel a lot for work so i know i wouldn't be able to stick to the appointments in a salon
