That was definitely something. We can still smell the burning. Gonna post this for those interested.
So the laser they use is a small one with a sort of circular thing that pushes against the skin. You feel a brief blast of heat then cold. How much it stings depends on how much hair growth you have. In minor areas it was barely noticable. On more major hair areas OWWWWW. However, the result is well WELL worth it.
Also laser doesn't cover light, grey, or translucent hairs since the laser can't lock on to anything. Electrolysis sucks worse, but if that's where you're at you gotta do what you gotta do.
Also if you gotta go out in the sun for more then an hour and the part you got isn't fully covered (i.e. face), put on some SPF-50 (they specify that strength by name). Also if you're gonna clean off, don't go easy on the exfoliating cleanser, especially within a 2 week period.
Not sure if we're gonna have to electro our way to the finish, but laser should cover the bulk of things.
Anyway, lets happy transition.
