Laser Hair Removal



Recommended Posts

Have any of you ladies felt the need to have laser hair removal in the pubic area because of a saggy stomach? I shave, use cream hair removers, and use an electric razor, all because the itching drives me crazy from the stomach hangover! I tried waxing once, and it was too painful. Also, I find that I have a lot of stretch marks, even on the mons, and it makes for a more sensitive area to work with. I have thought about getting laser hair removal, but frankly would be very embarassed since they would need to "lift" the sagging tummy to get to where I really need it.

Also, has anyone ever tried to get the hair OUT of the lips of the vagina? All my hair removal efforts leave hair behind, and that just drives me nuts. When I have my period, I feel so much cleaner and fresh smelling when I have a relatively hair-free area to work with.

I appreciate any thoughts.

i shave everything down there. it is difficult, lifting the tummy flap, but i, like you, prefer everything clean and hairfree. I do try to get the hairs out from the lips, usually end up missing some, which irritate me later.

As far as the nair idea goes, that has never worked for me, even on my legs. (actually i believe the label says not to use it near the genital area, i think it would burn if it gets too close to some areas). I have thick, dark hair and i believe that's why nair (or any of those products) work for me.

Regarding the laser hair removal, a coworker had this done for her upper lip. She had 6 treatments and still has hair. she said it was not worth the time or money she spent on it. I have considered it for my facial hair, until hearing her story. I couldn't imagine doing it down there.

My 1st attempt at hair removal on my "man beard" on my face was 5 years of electrolysis .. every weekend for 30 min.. finally hair free and ended up getting a depo shot .. within 2 month there goes 5 years of electrolysis down the drain and back to a full man beard .. I'm talking the need to shave my face daily. My next attempt was laser.. $225 a treatment and was happy with the results after 7 treatments .. the 3 month wait in between treatmnets was the hardest part since you cant shave.. knock on wood been beard free now almost 5 years. However I have been warned that birth control, getting pregnant or any other hormonal swing (extreme wt loss) could send things right back into a tail spin.. I can hardly wait :wink:

I paid lots of money for laser on my upper lip and loved it...until I had my sweet girl 5 years ago, now it is thicker and way worse than before. I now wax on my own with an occasional trip to the salon. As for the girly area I use Veet. Nair doesn't work, but I love veet. :eek:

I have found a cheap hair remover powder. Its for black men, but i use it down there, and it works really well.

you can get it at cvs or riteaide, i think its called softsheen carson magic shaving powder. small round can, white and blue lable. 2 to 3 bucks. you leave it on for 7 minutes and wash the hair away.

I'm on my 6th treatment of laser hair removal on my upper eye brows, upper lip, underarm, lower leg, and entire brazilian area... I couldn't be happier! It hurts like hell, but i love being hairless and not having to worry about shaving! I just hope it doesn't get hairy again when i get prego.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
