Last Thursday, I had my first laser treatment. As you know I am BBC and love the Sly look. I am coming upon 2 yrs of shaving the noggin. My problem was that I really hated the shadow. I was told it would take around 6 treatments. I will say that I really didn't know what to expect in the pain department. Well, it wasn't as bad as I expected. I think, more annoying than pain. Should start seeing some results in about two weeks. Already I have noticed a reduction in velcro in the morning. I will still have to shave the sides as the hair is gray. Lucky in that it doesn't have a shadow. I'll try to keep you posted on the progress.
