Reduction of unwanted hair...hairy-hirsutism

Anyone seen a reduction in unwanted hair...facial, belly...anywhere else? I want this hair gone, and I am holding out hope that having lapband will help this problem some. I started laser hair removal on my chin before lapband and it really hasn't changed much...and this is after 8 treatments! Has anyone had it on the bikini area...is it as painful as a friend claims?

so it hurts alot but there is a reduction of hair..its not gone and make sure u buy a package that will allow touch ups ...because everytime u have any little hormone fluctuation it will pop up agin:blink:

:) yeah that's just great isn't it??? i just had my fourth session, laser is to its highest setting, 30, and i only see a 50% difference in my treated areas. i get my entire face done with the exception of my nose & forehead, my under chin area gets treated as well. my package includes 6 sessions and free maintenence for two years...i told the tech yesterday I KNOW i'll need more than 6 sessions. all i know is, for the money i spent, this sh*t better work.:redface:

My endocrinolgist said that since the androgens have been released (or some such jargon) it will be hard to get rid of that hair. I was reading the warranty on the laser hair removal...it says that if you have a metobolic disorder, like PCOS, then they won't guarantee it.
