Yep, I had it done (last session of 6 in March of this year) and it works for the most part. Some hair grew back, but it is lighter. Still, I was very pleased by the results. It works best on dark hair and lighter skin.

I'm getting it done on my underarms, will start sessions on my bikini line this winter.
I'm a fan. My skin is sensitive, so the two days after a treatment, I get inflammation and it itches, but it goes away pretty fast.
Cheaper than waxing in the long run, and I get ingrowns so I don't like shaving those areas, so it was the best option for me.'You can't always get what you want. But if you try sometimes, you'll find you get what you need.' - Mick & Keith

I've always wanted to, my neighbour's had her arm pits and legs done and sings praises all the time.
What I want to know is if those portable devices at home works. Like this one.

I've been getting a tattoo removed and It is the same concept as laser tattoo removal, only the tattoo laser is stronger. You are essentially creating an injury for the body to repair. In the tattoo removal case, it is a controlled second degree burn. Much less for the hair removal, but you can still get mild blisters after treatment if you have sensitive skin, or if they have to increase the intensity to treat your hair. I've heard of girls getting only a mild rash that looks like a sunburn, but I get full on swelling, dry skin and itchyness.

I'd go to the pros. I mean, its a frickin LASER, right?

I've had several sessions and thought it helped a great deal. My only regret is that it's too expensive for me to have more done any time soon!
