Laser Hair Removal

I'm not going to deny it, I was nervous about blogging about my laser hair removal experience but if the Karadashian sisters can do it then so can I!

Having Asian skin which is dry & sensitive makes me very prone to ingrown hair and waxing just wasn't giving me the results I was hoping for. I had heard that after each waxing session you were supposed to have less and less hair, but I felt that wasn't happening for me - especially on my legs.

I started to research laser hair removal and immediately realised it came with a hefty price tag. But for me it was more like an investment - the term that anyone in fashion will use when making a big purchase! With summer fast approaching I knew it was too late to get my legs in shape for what was to be a hot summer in London but I decided to book myself into a nearby clinic to see what could be done.

*Forewarning the following is the complete dummies guide to laser hair removal* The treatment would be over 6 months (one session every month) and I was advised to not wax my legs throughout the treatment and only to shave (shaving is definitely not my preferred choice of hair removal). In my consolation I was told the laser light created a heat reaction that would destroy the melanin in the skin and in turn eliminating hair regrowth! With the treatments being spaced over 6 months (one session every month) the process is lengthy and will not be pain free (I found this out in my test patch, ouch didn't even cover it!). But for anyone who is looking for a permanent hair removal treatment that is super low maintenance then I would definitely advise looking into laser hair removal.

I will be blogging about each Laser Hair Removal Session with my first one being on Thursday (eeek!) and if you have any questions in regards to the treatment - drop me a comment below.
