My husband got worried when I told him how much it would cost to laser my leg hair. I have medium-fair skin and really tough, black hair on my legs. I could shave twice a day in the summer.
Cindy was realistic -- you need dark hair and lighter skin for it to work best and it would likely work in 6 treatments (It took 6 plus a touchup later). Also, it was pretty painful, but that's how I knew the treatment was working. I'm not bald on my legs, but the little hairs are so light and fine that the only way you'd notice is if you were looking at them at the right angle in the sun.
Less than a year later, I don't have to shave and my husband and I both agree it's the best chunk of money I've ever spent. Now I can pull on a pair of shorts and go at a moment's notice. Why did I wait so long?
