I hate waxing, I loathe shaving and I can’t be bothered with creams…and I know I’m not alone. Which is the very reason I jumped on board to trial the Nad’s Laser Hair Removal treatments I’d heard so much about.
The tricky part for me was choosing the areas to be treated (whole body? Yes please!), but eventually I settled on my underarms and bikini line. I figured they were different enough to show me how the technology would work on areas with varied sensitivity.
The treatment itself was a breeze. My operator, Trina, was exceptionally helpful in telling me how the treatment would go, as well as how best to look after the areas once done. Trina explained that laser hair removal wasn’t for everyone – in fact if you’ve got blonde or light red hairs, the treatment would be mostly ineffective. Dark-haired beauties rejoice! For the first time, we can be thankful for having darker hair that stands out!
The laser felt like a tiny little sting, followed by an immediate cool shot, which works to soothe any discomfort. I wouldn’t say the treatment was completely painless, but it was described as 1/16th of the pain of a wax, and I can certainly vouch for that!
Fast-forward to three weeks later – it has taken that long for any underarm hairs to show, and even now there are hardly any. The bikini line has a little more, but not nearly as much as I had previously. It’s weird to see the growth already diminishing after only one treatment, but hey, I’m not complaining
My next treatment is in just a few weeks, and I’m so excited to see how things progress…watch this space!
Have you ever tried laser hair removal? What’s your preferred method of hair removal?
