MichiganChic 3,262 Posted March 4, 2016 My arm pits were very hollow from weight loss. I had brachioplasty, which removed lots of the area with hair. I had a breast augmentation later, and both surgeries help to pull the skin their tighter. However, I still had the hollow pit, so I did laser hair removal, and it worked great.

Spiceyfrog 269 Posted March 10, 2016 Well, that's good to know that it did not hurt long. Keep us posted on the results; how quickly you seen them, how many total treatments you end up having, etc. So I went today for my first treatment, it does hurt! For like 10 sec.

JamieLogical 8,713 Posted March 10, 2016 I am going to get some free consults to find out how much I might have to pay for laser hair removal in my area. Did a little research last night and it definitely seems like a great option! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daisee68 2,493 Posted March 15, 2016 Laser hair removal is AWESOME! Highly recommend it. The price really varies depending on where you are located. Success depends a lot on your skin tone and hair type (has to be dark) and getting the right equipment to treat said skin tone. I am fair skinned but had dark enough hair and was able to use one of the machines that is better for fair skinned people. I had 7 treatments about 2 1/2 years ago and then just started up again about 6 months ago. There wasn't really a lot of regrowth but the package I bought basically includes laser hair for 30 minutes, so I am doing my lower legs and underarms again. Not sure the underarms are even necessary but since I am there, might as well. It has worked great on my lower legs also. In Dallas, the prices seem to be around $300-$400 for 6 underarm treatments. Do a little research and look at the reviews of the places and give it a try. it doesn't really hurt too bad (depending on how much they turn the machine up). I am also using the stronger laser machine to do skin tightening on my chin/turkey neck. Not sure it is working by leaps and bounds, but there does seem to be some improvement. Now THAT hurts! Even with the numbing cream. With laser hair removal, they use a different setting and a small puff of cold air comes out afterwards (with each shot) giving a numbing sensation. For the skin tightening, they cannot use the cold air as the whole point is to at up the skin and stimulate collagen. I only bought 4 treatments of this. Just know that it is key for you to go every 4 to 6 weeks for the hair removal (depending on how fast your hair grows) so you can catch the hair in different stages of growth. Even for the hair that doesn't disappear though, it is much softer. Totally worth it and best money (other than RNY) I have spent! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
