you guys are crazy about tweezing your head. YIKES! I have already done 3 of the laser treatments and would never put myself through tweezing. That takes HOURS.... 1 treatment = 1 hr
wear a hat if u can.
I have definitely not had any problems with marking, streaks, etc. In fact, the dome looks very good. I've now completed four treatments. The hair that's left is very thin, more like peach fuzz. I only shave every other day now, and I always have a clean-shaven look.If you're at all dark-skinned, I recommend using a clinic that has a YAG laser. There are plenty, so you shouldn't have a hard time finding one. Also, I'm extra careful to use a strong sunscreen everyday for the week or two after each treatment.As I've said before, laser hair removal is definitely worth it in terms of cost and end result. The pain is pretty bad though. You may want to get it done on a small spot before committing yourself to session after session of so much pain. The first session was so painful that I don't know if I would have gone back--except that there was no turning back after I completed my first session. I was somewhat patchy until I completed session three. (It wasn't that noticable to other people, but it wasn't something that I wanted to live with.)I still gotta believe that laser hair removal is not as painful as tweezers. I would NEVER do that.Thanks for that...finding it difficult to even get one laser centre to consider this but will keep an eye out for the type of laser...think Europe is much more conservative and backward with this sort of thing!

Secondly they said there could be patches of hair left afterwards which would look odd. The feeling I got was these guys don't wanna do it so should look somewhere else. If it worked for you it should for me too. The pain sounds bad though!!What I'm curious about is whether this thing is permanent..okay if u do get a number of treatments and target all the growth stages etc would you be rid of your hair forever...really FOREVER?thanks
