    Hi Caoilinn, when do you see visible results. I am dying to get it done as i have some hormonal problems and have some unwanted hair. Think , i will go therapie as i heard they are good from a friend. How much did you pay for the underarm?Thanks :)

    6 weeks at the start and then onto 8 weeks when the hair is slow to grow back

    Really?? I was told to come back every 3 weeks, have had 8 sessions on my bikini and it seemed to be going really well, had only a few little patches left, but last week I got a huge amount of growth back in the middle section, almost full growth but not as coarse as before, very disappointed now. Should I have been leaving longer in between??

    I would if I was you but maybe it depends were your getting it done, some machines are stronger than others, ask the girl that is doing it,
    I have had 4 session done and theres very little regrow and I have 2 more to go

    Thanks, I had very little regrowth and was delighted with it, then in the course of a week I got a huge amount of regrowth, this was after having maybe 2 months with hardly anything.

    Hi. How many sessions and what price was it to get the underarms done? Thanks!

    I have had 4 sessions so far as i havent had to shave, I cant get over the results. I paid 350 euro for a course of six treatments which is pretty reasonable. Going to get the bikin done now.You cant go wrong at 380 euro. My laser therapist is Noelle, she is brilliant. I would ask for her if you are getting it done.Best of luck with the laser :)

    yeah well i'm hoping all my hair will be gone after the course of treatments. I've 4 done and I'm going to be getting the 5th done soon, and I reckon that 50% of the hair from my bikini area and underams is totally gone, and 80% of the hair from my legs is gone. I'm actually dragging out this 5th session (was supposed to have it last month) for a while longer to see if I get more hair regrowth on my legs, and there is only a few stray hairs on them. And the great thing is is that most of the hairs that grow back seem to be finer and more downy, kinda like baby hair, so its not as noticeable. I've been going with out shaving on my legs since the last one to see how much hair has grown back, and you cant even feel stubble or anything. Hopefully it will all be gone, but id say even if there is a few stragglers, they will be like those new ones, kinda fine and downy. Hopefully. I know someone I used to work with got the full treatment done, and a year on she has no hair regrowth - so hopefully that will be me!
    I'd post a link for the prices on Urbana's page, but ive been so vocal about how great I find them, I'm afraid someone would think I work there (I dont Im a teacher). But if you can afford it those combination packages seem good value, and you get it all done at the one time. Then again, your other areas may be okay.My legs were awful hairy, and really course and thick, with multiple hairs comign out of the one root/or hole or whatever you call it.
    Oh yeah, and def try leave it till Autumn if your going on hols or planning on sunbathing. The whiter you are the better!
    any more questions fire away. I did my own head in looking up online research before I got mine done, and could write a book on Laser Hair removal and the Sopranao XL machine (well maybe not quite ;)


    Hi Silverfairy, was just reading your post and it seems you had the same problem i have right now although i doubt it was as bad as mine!!! basically i could shave my legs and spend an hour in the bath trying to get it really close but they still wouldnt be smooth!!! and by the morning they are all stubbly again!! yuck i know! im thinking laser is my only option as i am soooo sick of never having smooth legs! plus i also have the problem of 2 hairs growing out of the same root... im very intersted to hear how your getting on with the laser and are your legs actually smooth and the regrowth and all that, love to hear from you!

    Hi,
    I was wondering has anyone had laser removal done at Urbana? I get waxed there, and their laser offer seems really good, but I don't know of anyone who got laser done there. I'm thinking just bikini and underarm. Any advice??

    Thanks :)

    Sorry to post again...have read through all the posts and seen good reviews for both Urbana and Therapie, am now torn between the two.

    Went for consultation in Urbana and found them really good. They are offering €500 for bikini + underarm. Only bad thing, they were quite forceful in wanting to get the money out me there and then, even though I kept telling them I hadn't brought my wallet!

    Rang Therapie, and they first quoted €790 for the same treatment, but then offered to match Urbana's price. They didn't mention a consultation, and again wanted all the money up front.

    A friend of mine is getting laser done in Therapie in Cork and says they are excellent and it's pain free. I've been to Urbana for waxes before and always find them good! So now, I am torn, but swaying slightly towards Urbana....
    any advice???

    I have already touted these guys a couple of times - The Laser Centre on Hume St. They're doing a €60 for 20 mins deal at the moment. I've been doing bikini and underarms. Three sessions so far and underarms have had very little regrowth. Bikini a bit more but noticeably less and lighter. They only charge per session. Asking for money upfront is a bit much these days. Nice place and friendly staff too.
