Okay... science answer:

You grow in at least 80% of your hair during puberty. When you have laser hair removal the hairs it kills will never grow again. But you still have up to 20% of your normal thickness that will grow in throughout the rest of your life. So people get touch up sessions every 3-5 years after their big 6 treatments. You need about 6 treatments, one each 2 months for a year, because the hair grows in different stages and it can only kill hair in the active growth stage. The laser works by targeting dark color (the hair follicle) and passing through light color (the skin) the hair and skin have to be very different shades of color for the hair to work. The darker and coarser the hair and lighter the skin, the better results you will have.

Okay... Personal Experience:

I've had 2 out of my 6 treatments so far. It HURTS! It's like being poked with a sewing needle over and over, but it's not as painful as a tattoo, and that's not as painful as childbirth, maybe that can put the pain in perspective for you =) I've had my legs, underarms, and bikini area done. When you get your bikini area done they do ALL of it! Including spreading your butt and vaginal lips apart to laser all the cracks... It's sorta awkward. After the 2 treatments I've had so far I've lost about 60% of leg hair, 40% bikini hair, and 25% underarms hair. It's because the underarms hair is the thinnest and the leg hair is the coarsest. But the legs are the most painful. The more it hurts the better it works.
I spent this much for 6 treatments in each area:
Bikini-$750
Underarms-$750
Legs (toes to bikini)-$2,500

Email me if you have any more questions about it!

Because it's SO worth it, and people will pay.

I think $600 is extensive for the upper lip. I was quoted $600 for the whole pubic region...

It takes 5-6 treatments because hair grows in cycles. Not all of it grows at once.

How much would laser hair removal cost on a place like a bikini line? where in connecticut?

I want to get my mom a gift card for laser hair removal but i know it will cost WAY more than i want for a place like legs. That's why I thought I would go for a smaller area like bikini line or maybe underarms. I just want to know how much we're thinking here because if i get her a $25 gift card and it doesn't even make a dent in it.

For a bikini Tx you are looking at aroudn $200 for a single Tx. You can get a package of treatments for $800 that would cover 4-5 Tx. The site www.HairRemovalForum.com has a number of providers in CT, NY, MA and RI. You can also but the GC at SignatureForum and it can be used for any of the providers listed on HairRemovalForum or it can be used at health clubs or spas.

U may have to take 6 to 10 sittings depends on the thickness of hair.
cost depends on the area covered for treatment

Hi

I am a Registered Nurse and I specialize in laser hair reduction.

First of all......... YES dark hair and light skin makes you a perfect candidate!!!!

However, the only laser technology you should have used on you is the CoolGlide laser machine. When you're researching for a laser clinic make sure they carry the CoolGlide, for your type of skin no other machine will give you good results.

Secondly, TREATMENTS........ very important!!! Because hair grows in 3 stages you should have the treatments spaced out between 4 to 6 weeks. You will need 12 treatments to get a 90% hair reduction result.

DO NOT LET ANYONE TELL YOU THAT it's between 4-6 treatments, NOT TRUE!!!! In the beginning it was thought 4-6 treatments would be enough but that's not the case.

Cost........ depends on your age, arm size, amount of hair. Probably $200-$350 per treatment depending on where you live.

Dont get scared by the price, because many places have package deals so you will get a discount.

Furthermore, get in writing that once you have completed the amount of treatments ( for example, in my clinic it's a mandatory 12 treatments if the patients did not do laser before) we give a lifetime guarantee that if any hair grows back we treat it free of charge even 5 years down the line.

If you are under 18 please go with your parent.

I gave you some very honest and useful information you are now armed with great information... use it and dont allow anyone to tell you something else. I have been doing this since 1996 so I have alot of experience. I care about teenagers and assuming that you're one too I dont want anyone to take advantage of you.

Good Luck!
Mina

Hello, forearms cost about the same as a full/brazilian bikini area. Prices can vary based on the provider, the technology and whether you are purchasing single or package treatments and whether you purchase a guarantee. You can expect the price to be between $750 to $1500 for 5-6 treatments.

PS LHR on the forearms works really well...I have seen great results on a number of people. Be careful that your arms don't get tan right before a treatment.
