My Period Is Regular! But Facial Hair Is Here To Stay :(



Recommended Posts

I had laser before the op when I still had pcos and it helped so much I only did 1 round of treatments and I would say it cut about 70% of the hair and it grows much slower I got a groupon deal 3 small areas so I did chin lip and armpits all 6 treatments over the year total cost £115.
Laser works best on fair skin and dark hair it wont remove blonde hair as it need the colour in the hair for the laser to travel down.
And if you tan or you have darker skin is can cause patchy discoloured skin.
You go every 5 weeks as the hair grows in 5 week cycles the day you go some hair might have come out and not be in a growth state so missed that kind of thing.
Once you start laser you can not pluck/wax etc no root ripping out so you can only shave for the whole length of time you laser.
Laser travels down the hair and into the root damaging it from growing you do several treatments to eventually kill it for good.
I still have some hair I will be doing a round 2 groupon again to hopefully get rid of remaining hair from all 3 places for good!

Have you tried laser hair removal? It's quite affordable now... Thank god! I laser my entire face every 6 weeks for $99 us dollars. I'm quite happy with the results.

Curious.. how many times have you had it done? Also is it not permanent?

Nevermind.. my question has been answered.. I should of kept reading. thank you

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
