Title: Laser Treatments...
Post by: jasonfieber on March 25, 2010, 06:05:33 PM
Well guys, I hit the 3 year mark and my plan with American Laser Center has expired.

I STILL HAVE APPROX. 30% OF MY HAIR LEFT WITH NO END IN SIGHT.

After 3 years and some time to reflect and look back on this I can honestly say I can't recommend this treatment to anyone. I was highly excited about this and have spoken fairly positively in the past about this only because I thought there was an end in sight and it was included in the two thousand dollars I paid. I can tell you the local treatment facility is now closed and the closest center still open is over an hour away. On top of it I'll have to pay per-treatment if I want to continue. My choices are fairly limited to paying and driving over an hour away until all of this is gone (which is still not a positive outcome) or I can stop where I'm at and live with the fact knowing that if I ever go more than one day without shaving I'm going to look like a patchy freak.

So....with all that said brothers: If anyone is considering this treatment I would highly recommend against it. Lasering is fine for legs, backs..etc...things that you don't show off everyday...but with the head and/or face if the treatments don't go as planned you are stuck with patchy hair growth.

I also want to say this isn't to reflect my decision in the fact of it being permanent. I would be extremely happy if I was rid of head and face hair and it was 100 percent gone. Anything less than 100 percent though makes me wish I  had a time machine and could go back and never do this in the first place.

Rant over. I highly recommend any brothers thinking about lasering to reconsider.
