So, i daringly got Laser Hair Removal yesterday-- and let me share this traumatic experience with you:
random- yes
painful- mostly
exciting?- kinda
addicting-no
I found this deal on Groupon where it was $99 for 6 treatments- the norm- so i figured OH-why not?! and i decided to be daring.
I know NObody who has gotten laser hair removal before, and i experienced exactly why!...
I got it on my underarms.
I am self conscious about stupid little things like that.
I don't care if my arms are hairy, or my legs have stubble, but my ARMPITS--i would rather die than have people see that business.
(I'm beginning to think i have anxiety issues)
This isn't like a tattoo-. Trust me.
The pain isn't the same. It doesn't feel like one, it feels like STAPLES!!!!!!!!
You won't leave wanting more; (well maybe after my last treatment & i see amazing results)
Anyways, i get there and the nice lady is like ok, take off your sweater, lay up here on this table. They have on this relaxing music, and nice wallpaper--- it TRICKS YOU.
She like rushingly tells me about it, blah blah blah--- i ask her if she has had it; her response was "i had it 12 years ago, and i shave only maybe once every other week- sometimes i get these long hairs that i could Braid" EWWW_- T.M.I lady!
So i go on asking her if it hurts, how would she describe it-- and she goes "Yes, it hurts everyone." I start to freak out! It was obviously too late for numbing cream.
I yell @ Alex to come sit next to this torture table so i can squeeze the guts out of her hand.
She puts on some gel & i tell her to SLOWLY start, so i can get a feel for this business.
As she starts, its slightly piercing, not terrible but it definately wasn't comfortable. She goes over it about 3,4 times and im starting to feel this heat up. It gets stronger, and i start to feel sharper pains. She switches sides & it took about 5 mins MAX for both armpits.
I would describe it as staples, or a pin stabbing you. This isn't just surface pain, it goes to the root of your hair.. YIKES!
It really wasn't that bad, but then she tells me the next time i come, she turns the laser up to get deeper. (obviously). We were @ a 24 today & to finish we will be on a 30!
WOOOOWWW.
Beauty is pain.
I will survive.
