I'm doing some research for my own edification on laser hair remvoal. I'm not trying to start a long thread on shaving, hair removal, etc. If anybody has any experience with this process and willing to share your experience with me, I would appreciate it. Please PM me - again - I am not trying to start another thread on hair removal! I just thought/hoped somebody might be able to share first hand experience. I have been researching it on the web and have actually scheduled a consultation with a dermatologist, but I'd also like to talk with somebody that has gone through the process! Thanks and cheers!

I've had my back done a few times. I've also had my butt and legs done twice. I'd like to achieve a reduction of hair not complete removal. The pain is manageable. If the laser settings are too low and you are not feeling some pain, the treatment is not likely to be very effective. Too high for your skin type and your can be burned. You are trying to kill a hair follicle that is surrounded by nerves. No pain ...no gain.
A lot more information is available on a laser hair removal board.

As far as costs, they vary widely. For example, a year ago I paid $700 for the butt/legs session. This winter, I found another place to do it for $350. My wife is doing her lower legs now. A four session package for $425. She will not be hairless after 4 sessions but the hair should be finer and less dense.
I'd be happy to try to answer questions, but the other forum contains a lot more information.

Paul,
Thanks a bunch for the link! I hadn't found that site. It's a wealth of information. I think at this point, the next step is to simply go to the consultation, ask questions, think about it, and see how I feel. Seemingly, it's a good alternative for me. Thanks again for the link! Big help!
