off topic: laser hair removal?

Hi all, This is very embarressing for me but i need the info so imwilling to put it out there... I have PCOS and I have alot of hair growth in places it should not be I wax 2x a week.... and conseal it well.. but you know if I wanted to go someplace w/somebody for a weekend it would be hard to be so up front/close and personal...... My dr, said there may be a possibility after I lose some weight that the hair growth would lessen and be easer to manage... and maybe it would still remain the same.. Well I have lost -125lbs and there has been no change in the hair growth.....(what a bummer) Im interested in laser hair removal and would really appreciate any of your experiences with it... peace kathleen

I just recently read an article about this in my doctor's office (O Magazine 5 Year Anniversary Issue) ... Laser hair removal can be quite expensive (like $1000 for legs per session) and will take several (3-5) sessions to reduce hair growth to 50-90% of original growth ... If you keloid, both laser hair removal and electrolysis could be a problem. Sorry I can't share better/cheaper news. Good luck!

Kathleen,I have been wanting to post this for some time too and i just keep forgetting to do so.I too have a few hair problems, I have a few hairs in my chin that are ugly and I want to do the hair removal thing to. I hate this and I wi**** was all gone.I hope someone out there can give us some info on how we can go about doing this,have you gone online,I think I will do that. Good luck Rosie

Kathleen, Go into a serch engine and type in laser hair removal info and it will bring you to a lot of websites regarding the subject. Rosie

Thank you all for responding to my posting. I have put this into google and I got alot of spas that offer this procedure it was very comercial like and was interested in hearing first hand experiences, I tried to go to a message board ofr PCOS but it was not current/up to date.... Yeah I think that alot of women have this issue and some of us it is worse than others.. but I too hope that someone will see this post and help us all out... I think that for some it works and other it doen't... but I would really like to hear your experiences with laser hair removal.... thank you Roser13 Cordova, Ohh and Melissa Mermaid I did not recognize your new Pic... I remember when I first got on this site you were struggling through the approval process and was so happy for you when you finally got approved.... you look great... thanks again for the feedback peace kathleen

I e-mailed an office here in Pasadena Ca,and they told me that the consultation is free and they charge $75 a sessions,and for the chin area it will take about5-8 sessions.I think 1 month in between sessions. I will look for the website and send it to you,They have offices in different states. Hugs Roser

Roser13Cordova Thank you so much for the info. I went to a place and got a package deal for my face = cheeks, chin& under chin $1000. I got my first session done and go back in a month... It really hurts, but they do not do it for too long, (the pain is bariable...) Thanks again all the best peace kathleen
