Laser hair removal on your scalp
B.Dangerous:
O0 Just got home from my appointment. The bad - Probabally the most pain I've ever had to deal with in a repetetive sense. I'm sure getting stabbed or breaking my arm hurt more all at once, but I didn't have to break more bones or get stabbed more immediately afterwards. The good - I got through it!!! Should take 7 to 10 days for hair to fall out and then another 3 to 5 weeks to see what's gonna grow back. I will need that amount of time to forget about the pain so I don't go back gunshy. Luckily 20 - 30% of my hair should be dead by then so the second go round should be less pain. I'm off to ice my head and eat some good pizza the rest of the day! I'll keep you posted.

i didn't think it was too painful, but then again I haven't seen any results from the first try.
marty22:
dont give up yet, Buzz!
B.Dangerous:
Buzz, to me it felt like somebody was shooting me with a piercing gun or needle gun of some sort. The first half of my head was bearable, but still quite painful. The second half was the workload. OUCH! Used a IPL laser with the setting fairly low, I think 20 or 22. I was basically told when doing the test spot that my pain level needed to be at a 7. It was at a 7, but after 1250 pulses, it felt like a 10. Life is sometimes painful. Moving forward to round 2.
BuzzKC:
I must have a high pain threshold! Getting tattooed didn't phase me either. :)
