Guest guest Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Tina, you are NOT a freak of nature. I shave, but I get away with every other day. My mom did too, and when she got too sick to take care of it herself I shaved her. I really hadn't seriously thought of permanent hair removal. I had heard that electrolysis doesn't always do it permanently, but this lazer hair removal sounds like a good idea. Does it really work? Would it work on eyebrow hair and chin and upper lip? Maybe I'll think about that before I get to my tummy tuck & boob lift. Thanks, ladies for bringing up the subject. --Sandi > > > See, this is my problem with the reward system...I already did > get my teeth whitened, just because.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Joyce, if you use Rogaine on your head, and have hair on your face, you probably have too much testosterone. Have you been tested? Most balding men have a lot of body and face hair...and it's attributable to excess testosterone (to go along with Pam's theory about sexy bald men.) Is the Rogaine only since the surgery...or have you always had a problem with thinning hair?

I paid up front for a 5 year guarantee for my chin and it was worth every penny. (It's been 4 years and I've had 11 mini-treatments because my hair grows in screwy cycles) I also bought a leg package with a 2 year guarantee for my teenage daughter. Imagine never having to shave your legs! She's been kind of fickle keeping appointments and just had her last (5th) one. The dark hair that's zapped does not grow back. It doesn't work on blonde or grey/white hair.It's interesting talking to the guys in the waiting room who are getting their backs, neck treated or having skin treatments. Haven't met anyone dissatisfied yet.It can be really expensive if you go to a M.D.'s office (Advanced Laser is run by an R.N.).It's funny, because I use Rogaine on my head.Joyce>I really hadn't seriously thought of permanent hair removal.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Colleen -- Ditto! My husband knows I do it too but it is so totally embarassing. I'll let you know how the consult goes.
