Also my second round was just before I got pregnant- maybe I should have waited until after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laser-hair-removal-1#post-2049085 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 21:19:52 +0000 Coffee-lover 2049085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, i had a whole Brazilian done, but was only able to get 3 sessions done before I lost my job and stopped going. 70% of my hair was gone, but since I didn't finish the sessions it has slowly come back over the years. I cant wait to get started again after I give birth. It was worth every penny and with I would have gotten it done a long time ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laser-hair-removal-1#post-2048885 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 16:31:56 +0000 Mamasig 2048885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes - love it! Did my underarms which took about 6 sessions. I now have about five hairs I shave each week. I also did my bikini line. But only 3 or so sessions so there is still hair there. But significantly less! I have dark coarse hair with light olive skin. And my hair did not grow back after two pregnancies. But I do know someone that laser hair removal did not work for. I will say that it hurt - similar to a bikini wax. But the pain was worth the results. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laser-hair-removal-1#post-2048859 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 16:05:55 +0000 Astro Bee 2048859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lady Grey: oh no, that's disappointing! I was hoping that going another full round would be sufficient to get rid of my remaining stray hairs for good. It's been a year and a half since I stopped, and I just assumed some of the regrowth I've seen is due to pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laser-hair-removal-1#post-2048848 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 15:43:40 +0000 lady grey 2048848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Astro Bee: yes you're right. By two rounds I meant I did a full amount of sessions- 6 I think and did that twice, a few years apart. After a while I eventually had to start waxing again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laser-hair-removal-1#post-2048839 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 15:18:28 +0000 Astro Bee 2048839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boopers: did your hair grow back as thick as it was before? I've had some hair regrowth, but for the most part it took very well. I plan to restart my sessions later this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laser-hair-removal-1#post-2048838 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 15:13:36 +0000 Astro Bee 2048838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lady Grey: Two sessions wouldn't have been enough to eradicate all of your hair follicles, since hair goes into dormant stages; the reason your hair falls out seemingly in clumps PP and your hair is so thick during pregnancy is that those dormant signals turn off temporarily. This is why they always recommend a minimum of 6, but often more, sessions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laser-hair-removal-1#post-2048832 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 15:07:42 +0000 Astro Bee 2048832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HelloBeeBoston: the place where I went to distinguishes areas by size. So lower legs and Brazilian were both considered large, while underarm, upper lips, sideburns, etc. would be small. It's a lot cheaper if you buy packages. My spa often had Groupon or Living Social deals, and I'd buy a few packages at a time. I didn't bother with my upper legs since the hair there is thinner and lighter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laser-hair-removal-1#post-2048797 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 14:09:45 +0000 lady grey 2048797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup I did my upper lip, two different rounds. Over time the hair grows back and now I still have to wax once a month. It works best for people with light skin and dark hair. And it hurts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laser-hair-removal-1#post-2048793 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 14:03:24 +0000 sunny 2048793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did and just to set your expectations, it's not 100% hair free though it's close enough that I'm still happy and think it was worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laser-hair-removal-1#post-2048792 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 14:01:09 +0000 hellobeeboston 2048792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would really like to do this after I have this baby! Legs would be insanely expensive right? Bikini line would be nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laser-hair-removal-1#post-2048769 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 13:30:42 +0000 Boopers 2048769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had four sessions done on my underarms before getting pregnant. I had read that if you get pregnant the hormones can cause the hair to grow back again, which did end up happening to me. I feel like I wasted money and time doing the sessions before getting pregnant. If I choose to do it again I will wait until we are totally done having kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laser-hair-removal-1#post-2048764 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 13:27:38 +0000 Astro Bee 2048764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had my bikini area, underarms, and lower legs done. I stil have to occasionally shave or wax, but it's a lot less than I did before, maybe 1-3 weeks in between. I also should have gotten a few more sessions, but I had to move, and wasn't able to finish. I had 6-7 sessions on each area, but the results depend on the individual. Light skin with dark hair is the best combination. All in all, I'm happy with the results, and would do it again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laser-hair-removal-1#post-2048750 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 13:02:22 +0000 looch 2048750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I had my bikini line done and I am so happy with the results! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/laser-hair-removal-1#post-2048738 Sat, 31 Jan 2015 12:41:31 +0000 Applesandbananas 2048738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone had this done? </p>
