Laser hair removal



Recommended Posts

I have started having treatments. I got an amazing package deal. $600 for chin & upperlip w/ unlimited treatments for a year. I have to agree though about the pain. It does hurt, but well worth it. Also I have to say that they specified that I could not pluck or wax the hairs while doing this treatment because it removes the hair folicle that they are trying to zap...therefore never really getting rid of any hairs. They said shaving was fine. I've had 3 treatments so far and I no longer have to shave every day. It's wonderful!

Props to everyone!

My daughter is having her face done. She's had one treatment. She said it really didn't hurt that bad. In fact, she didn't even get red. Her Doctor says she'll need around 8 to 9 treatments to take care of it all. My daughter is very fair and has very sensitive skin. I guess the doctor is taking it slow with her. It cost 325.00 for every treatment. She gets hers sideburns and upper lip done. Next she wants her bikini line and lower legs done. Hey, but what about me! I'd love to get my face done too. She comes back with... Ahhh mom, you're old, you don't need it. Can you imagine that? lol I'm not that old. Sheesh. Thanks, Elee

Oh yeah, I forgot to say that she was told to shave only. and she should shave before coming in for treatments. So there is no burning of hair on the surface of her face, no smell.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
