Default laser hair removal
I know this is incredibly lame, but I'm kind of sick of shaving and am considering getting my face lasered so that I don't have to worry about it anymore. Has anyone had laser hair removal done and can give me advice on what to look out for? I've seen a GP but he basically told me I'm better off asking people who've done it before for advice.

Also, I've read all the information that the websites for laser removal places tend to give. I'm wondering whether there's anything they don't tell you?

Yeah it's as close to permanent as possible. But my understanding is that you have to keep coming back for touch-up treatments in the future. I'm hoping to rid myself of all facial hair until I've finished my PhD and then have it slowly grow back in again .

IPL, is very painful on the face.
I have had it several times and its great to renew collagen but to do so to thin or remove a beard is difficult and requires many many treatments.
(which is super expensive also)
You would have to start over again at some point as it is not really permanent as such.

Better for hair on the back or back of the neck but face not a good idea habibi.

I was afraid somebody was going to tell me that! Gah, I guess I could just shave... or grow a beard. What do you guys think?

Re: pain though, apparently they can spray a numbing agent on sensitive areas.

Re: price, they apparently have package deals for the face at around $140, which is pretty comparable to other areas.

Re: permanency, I want to be able to grow a beard later in life, I just don't want to have to worry about it for a few years.

Still, I suspect you're right. I knew the stuff written on the website wasn't completely true. Although one website was a little more honest claiming that "For men, permanent removal is impossible" and then they vaguely related it to testosterone.

is this laser similar to the ones that remove pimples and acne?

I'm not sure. Oh that's a good point I have had a bout of adult acne in the last few months, I wonder if that affects things?

i did some research on adult acne for my biology second hand investigation, apparently theres sometimes a problem with the liver trying to excrete and filter blood, and a build up leads to the liver excreting it out in other methods like through the skin and so forth

i think detox methods were really good at getting results to remove adult acne

Actually the bout has been short and intense, almost like a rash! It's now fading out, I haven't had a new one in a few weeks and the old ones are slowly disappearing. Meh, I never minded acne much, I just want to avoid shaving .

Ingrown hairs on the face and throat can often be mistaken for adult acne.

Funny you should mention Shandy Sneeks, Nana used to actually make me one when I was little.
I was often in the beer garden of the hotel propped up at the table with a packet of chips and a shandy.
Of course giving me a taste so young they believed it would make me a non drinker as an adult, indeed it did.
However, same idea failed on my brother LOL.

If it doesn't bother you that much then grow it out or shave less oftn and see how that new look suits you

im never fully clean shaven, i havent shaved with a razor for years. i always just use the clippers on a low setting. i hate the feel of being clean shaven. on the flipside of that i hate that feel of when i dont shave for a week and a half or 2 weeks, so generally every week i run the clippers over it

Mr B, If I did not have to be clean shaven everyday that I attend work I would have a two to three day growth on my face.
I love that look on me LOL

Nah, if my face is round (as it is right now) a beard looks weird on me. I only look good with a beard when my face goes long. Just to clarify, I get moon-faced when I put on a little weight.
