thanks Desina replied. Honestly Ann,
Unless you absolutely have a serious problem with excessive hair growth, I would not recomend laser surgery. The side effects are numerous, the results aren't even permanent, and you have to go in more than once to get rid of the hairs. You have to do at least three visits, and friend of mine, Pia, she had to go in for five visits, the first costing $500 then the rest a hundred dollars less then the the previous one. Another side effect is that you can get blackish scars if the person doing it is not skilled in doing darker skin. Certain types of lasers actually don't discriminate against the hair or the skin, so the surrounding skin gets burned. Oh last but not least, when the laser is getting rid of hair, it might trigger dormant hair growth in other areas of the face. For example, for Pia, hair started growing longer and thicker on her neck to the point it was extremely noticable. If you shop around and find a reputable place, make sure you ask to speak to a former client, and also, make sure that you have an actual trained specialist and not just someone who barely knows what they are doing other than pointing and starting the laser. Keep in mind that laser surgery is not as perfect and final solution to hair problems. Hope this helps, good luck!
