I got laser hair removal and here’s what it’s ACTUALLY like. 🧐👀 #laserhairremoval

If you’re in NYC, I went to Therapie clinic on 19th street and I have nothing but great things to say about them! 😊

I ain't afraid of the pain, I'm afraid of the price.

[Gurotori]

Oh man I got PCOS so you know I’m hairy AF and once I can afford it I am lasering it all off pain or no pain!

[vallenschraub]

I am a wax specialist and I have had guests mention to me that they had lazer hair removal done and after becoming pregnant, the hair had regrown due to hormone changes.
I usually recomend getting laser hair removal after having children to avoid the chance of it regrowing~

For anyone interested in getting laser, I have very pale skin and get laser for armpits and bikini. It hurts like hell because I have very sensitive skin but it’s very fast (about 15 minutes in total) and I can get through it. I can also ask for a break if I need to. Even though it’s incredibly painful, I don’t have any pain afterwards and the effect is amazing! The pain is totally worth it!

[aadyaaaa]

it may not hurt now, but they up the strength of the laser each session - my first session felt like practically nothing, and by like my 7th session i was visibly flinching and scrunching my face till the point the lady had to ask if i needed a break lmaoo. it’s actually so painful during the last few sessions 😭😭😭

it’s because you have light hair and it doesn’t get as hot. when you have dark hair, trust me, it’s NOT just an ice cube. it was more like a resistance band slapping down on my skin. it stings.

This will probably get lost in the plethora of comments, but I just wanted to share with those thinking of getting this. Laser hair removal requires several treatments for it to be at the level of hairlessness you are comfortable with. Usually the first treatment will be the easiest. The first treatment is set at the lowest setting and it will gradually increase with each session.

When I had this done a few years ago I was not aware of this. The first treatment I had was a breeze and thought I had this in the bag. 😂 I think I was about 4 or 5 treatments in when I actually had to stop and reschedule the session because it was too intense. I was able to go back and finish the session without a hitch though. The toughest part honestly was that I happened to have a not incredibly common histamine reaction after the treatment. I would get raised hives that would cover my legs only (thank heavens it was only my legs this happened to.) The hives were so incredibly itchy. It maked it difficult to sleep for first few nights after each treatment. I learned to start taking an antihistamine, like Benadryl or Claritin, a day before, the day of, and the days after my appointment. That did help lesson the severity of the histamine reaction.

Now for the sensation of the treatment, I would say it was similar to the snap of a rubber band against your skin. It can be VERY intense but it subsides almost immediately. The laser mechanism does give a blast of cool air as the laser flashes counteracting the heat of the laser.
I don't want it to seem scary but I also want anyone thinking about it to know what is like to go through the whole process. Many things can effect your experience: where you are in your hormone cycle, skin color, hair color, pain tolerance, etc.

I still think it was totally worth it and would do it again. I love that my daily routine is so much shorter and I now have the excuse to sleep in a little longer on the morning. 😅

This is Haleyy's most serious video 😭

As a lady who is in the process of getting laser hair removal, I need to warn y'all it gets more painful. The first visit is not. But they have to turn the laser up higher as time goes on. I've done three sessions so far, eight weeks apart and the third one was extremely painful in some areas. The ankles are painful and the "mons" area (right over your pubic bone) is so bad, I squawked and had to ask the tech for a quick break. This may not be the case for everyone, but it is for me so just please be aware that it may be painful. Edit: it is worth every second of pain to only have to shave once about every six weeks with minimal grow back. Over time, it should go to almost none. I feel much more sexy now. What can I say? Beauty is pain sometimes 🤷🏻‍♀️
Edit: Omg, thank y'all for the likes! I'm blushing ☺️ but please, let's not squabble in the reply section. Let's leave fussing and bickering for the really big issues in life. Love and hugs to all of you

[marie-noel.bisson]

Y’all don’t forget the pain is affected by the color of your hair and skin! The darker the worse the pain is, so if u have thick dark hair, please be careful ❤️

Edit: Y'all i did not expect this to get 9K likes! thank you so much!

I did laser hair removal over 14 years ago and I don't regret it. I haven't had any retouches done since my first year of sessions on different sections of my body and my hair hasn't grown back. I love it!

[davidschliebe]

Natural hair is awesome. Keep it woman

[charlottehammond]

PSA: Laser Hair removal gets more painful the more you go. They up the voltage or whatever kills the follicles so it goes deeper into the skin. It’s bearable pain but it doesn’t stay pain free forever.

[evany]

I hope we get updates. I've been seriously considering this for years. I hate all my body hair. I've gotten more relaxed about it after I turned 25ish but still would really rather not have it. Haha.

[luluk]

Thanks so much for posting this, I was contemplating getting laser hair removal because I have the pain tolerance of a 5 year old 💀

[erikaashbaugh]

Friendly reminder body hair is natural. 😊 it’s okay if people have the money, and the desire to laser all their hair off, but it’s not a necessity. And everyone can choose what they want, it is just harder for those of us that want to keep our body hair ( or lack the ability because of chronic illness or pain) and society shames us. 😅 so sending love to those of us who don’t want to shave, or CANT shave.

[noeliagutierrez]

Once I heard someone say that women shave just to look prepubecent and therefore more attractive I've never been the same. Def keeping my hair

[a.schmidt]

I did laser for over a year, and it is VERY painful if you have dark (thick) hairs and you’re doing sensitive areas of the body. Much more painful than waxing ever was. Over time as less hairs grow back and they get thinner, it’s more tolerable.

[loverofmyths]

That's a totally different laser than what I got. Mine hurt like hell and I was red and painful afterwards. I went to a different clinic the next time and they put a cream on me before they lasered and it didn't nearly hurt as much. For anyone wanting to get this done, make sure to ask their process and which laser they use before you make an appointment so you can get a more painless treatment! Also fyi, this is not a permanent fix. You have to keep going back, the visits just get more time between the longer you go
