on 7/29/2009 Good advice. I had thought about doing my legs but I don't know. I am not a fan of pain :)

on 7/29/2009 Laser hair removal is great and really works although you will need a few sessions. They tell you to shave before coming in but I had better results when I shaved 24 hours before coming in. The laser is attracted to the black dot of your hair so if you are shaved too close you don't have as good as a result, at least that was my experience. And yes it does hurt a bit but oh so worth it. Gets rid of ingrown hairs in the future where you were lasered too.
