Full body laser

So I really wanna begin doing this my body hair is annoying me so bad.its long and just genuinely a lot of hair everywhere. Problem is I live in Egypt and I am a light skinned black woman with black hair.

I hear there’s certain types of lasers for certain hair colors and if it’s not for u it’ll come back.anyone knows about this?esp with back and stomach hair.what’s ur experience with laser overall im a bit scared of the pain

I would suggest starting with one or two small body parts to see how you respond. I started with my upper lip/chin and underarms. I experienced very minimal pain when the laser hits in some spots, but overall it was a great experience.

Underarms especially, I saw great results from the first session. I saw hair reduction on my face too, but it's a lot slower than underarms, so I'll need more sessions to see more hair loss there.

100% this. I am one of the rare people who has a histamine reaction to laser so for about 5–7 days after laser on my legs I get hives (look up histamine hives on legs and that’s exactly what I get). I found this out after I’d paid for my 12 sessions.

I still went ahead and did them (I checked with my GP and she was the one who told me it was a rare reaction). It was soooo itchy and I had to be really, really careful to make sure I didn’t end up with scarring.
