PULSE LIGHT CLINIC LASER HAIR REMOVAL (so far)

Laser hair removal is something that has been on my mind for the longest time so you can imagine the excitement when they first approached me. I always relied on good ol' waxing but I was so happy I could say goodbye to the mess and irritation it sometimes caused. 

WHAT IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL?
Laser hair removal is a treatment that works via a laser directly onto your skin where the force destroys the hair follicle to prevent any further hair growth. 

The team at PLC use the latest technology which is suitable for all skin types. There are different machines for different complexions and skin types. My legs are quite light compared to the rest of my body. But during my consultation last summer, my legs had tanned quite a bit so I couldn't have my first treatment until the tan had worn off. I did go for a patch test before my first treatment which is required. 

MY FIRST TREATMENT 05/10
I only got my lower legs done - starting from above my knees. My hair is extremely fine so the hair isn't as visible as it is on others. After my first treatment, I noticed no hair growth whatsoever till the fifth week. I totally didn't think the laser would take effect that soon but I was so happy with the first result. 

MY SECOND TREATMENT 25/11
Again, my hair was very sparse. There was a small patch near my calves but that was it. And again I was very pleased with the results. 

MY THIRD TREATMENT 30/01
My third treatment was quite a while after my second. I was so busy with work and uni, plus I had the worst flu which had taken forever to get rid of. So after a few cancellations and reschedules, I made it to my third appointment. My hair wasn't sparse like it was just before my second treatment but it was extremely minimal. As mentioned before, my hair is extremely fine so the hair growth at this point was finer than fine. 

Laser hair removal isn't as painful as you think. Throughout each treatment, I didn't feel any discomfort at all. I wouldn't say there's no feeling felt at all, it kinda feels like someone flicking your skin, so nothing uncomfortable.

Each of the treatments were very quick, around 10 minutes I'd say. I spent majority of the time gossiping and catching up with the lovely technician. So I'd say I was in and out of the clinic in 30 minutes. I apply Aloe Vera Gel on my legs as soon as the treatment is over to prevent any irritation. You can purchase it HERE
