Laser Hair Removal



Recommended Posts

Okay, it is a weird consequence of being super morbidly obese, skin stretched, then plastic surgery to remove excess skin... that my pubic hair zone is larger than it should be. I ignored it for a long time. Recently, I started shaving to make a more "normal sized" pubic zone and I get the horrible bumps. so, I did a consult for laser hair removal. Turns out they will charge me the same price - i get to choose how much they remove. I know I want them to make the triangle smaller, clean up the edge on my upper thighs too. What I am undecided about is if I should go for making it quite small... landing strip. That is very popular right now, but i am not sure. What would you do?

I prefer to be completely hair free & smooth. I say have them remove it all! Just my two cents :-)

How about trying getting waxed first. That way you can try out different shapes or a Brazilian before you have to commit. See what you like.

I am pretty sure they will NOT laser on "internal" skin so there is a limit. I am thinking going to a small area. BTW, my pubic hair is not dense... took me awhile to figure out that because the hair covered skin was stretched that the hair density is low. Weird.

I've had Brazilian laser treatments. It was pretty "IN". Lol. Google it.

I prefer it trimmed on top and waxed along the bikini line and then brazilian style everywhere else. I don't like the bald look, so I actually have a decent nicely shaped triangle down there, rather than the landing strip.

Huh?

Sorry. Late Friday brain fried humor attempt.

If I Googled this at work, I'd either get unwanted attention from the IT network monitoring group, or maybe a date. Or both.

I'm an old so the current craze for hairlessness has gone right over my head. However, neatness appeals to me. I vote go for the triangle.

I like the idea of trying different variations of hairless ness or patterns of hair through waxing and see what appeals to you most. Just for reference they can do a complete Brazilian with laser hair removal. Most Aestheticians will get pretty up close and personal if that is what you want.

      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!!
