i did intense pulse light not laser and have not had any re-growth of hair.

i haven't had a treatment since 2006

i have a few random hairs here and there that i should have gone back to get removed but they are so few i just use my epilady machine to remove

so my question is, with laser have you experience re-growth?

 

sorry for non-clicky links

    I had my armpits done about 5 years ago and I have had one touch up since then.  I have a few hairs and still shave like once a week.  Probably time for another touch up.  I love the results though and it has been totally worth it!  i would love to get my legs and bikini line done.

    I had laser hair removal on my legs (lower and upper), bikini and underarms about 7-8 years ago.  It has definitely grown back.  It is thinner now, but it is there.  I have to shave my legs about once a week (which is better than the daily I used to do) and I shave my underarms daily.  I also have to shave my bikini area, but not as regularly as the other areas.

    I had in done in 2004, but it was about a year and a half, so my last one was around 2006ish. I did full face for $1100. I think that it did help. Only my chin and upper lip have started to have some regrowth. So I want to say it was 6 years of good, but this last year has gotten worse on my chin.

    I had my sideburns done before my wedding in 2007 and I am so happy I did it.  I haven't had any regrowth.  One day I will do my bikini line...I hate shaving and waxing is so expensive to keep up.

    I have not...but i have a question for u ladies bc u have....

    I was told i was not a candiate bc i have light skin and light hair.  (My body hair is blonde).

    I was told there is not enough contrast between skin and hair, for me to get a good result.  Is this true?

    this is true for laser but not for the procedure i had done which is intense pulse light.

    i went to their Riverdale location which has closed.  At the time they were opening a city location and they have one in bronxville w/in walking distance to metro north.

    I don't think lazer would work for you. What Worms is talking about sounds cool though.
