I am pretty sure we are up to date with everything regarding beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery! It is extremely common here, people are flocking to get laser hair removals which makes me believe that we are very up to date! I just think that Aussies in general are "no bullshit" kind of people. If these places are guaranteeing that hair won't ever grow back, when they cannot predict hair growth stages and hormones etc then they are full of shit and people should be wary! Think about it seriously, how are they to know if you are going to have a hair growth stage down the track? They can't and so they are misleading people!
I haven't had any hair grow back, my skin is like baby skin and I am extremely happy with the results!

Only 85% of hair is growing at a given time. So you go get the laser done. Of course, some is going to grow back but it's not actually growing back. It's the dormant hairs that now start growing again. That's one big reason they can't or shouldn't guarantee. And of the ones that guarantee aren't saying they never do follow ups. I'm sure they have to.
What I'm wondering is of the hair that's killed off with laser is there a chance that after further rounds of aas will THAT hair grow back or is it killed off permanently?

It's my understanding that the laser kills off the hair follicle where the hair grows from. I have no idea if aas would create more hair to grow, if its already been killed off at the root/follicle. I think that Fitbody uses aas and has the laser done for hair removal. She could probably tell you.

Definitely let me know.
Like I joked in a pit thread, I'm pretty hairy naturally. Look at my head. I was born with peach fuzz all over. Been waxing since I'm 16. Let's just say bodybuilding has not helped me in this repsect. I just don't want to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars just to find the hair will grow back.

Good friend of mine had been undergoing the IPL treatments. And got good results. After she started to use anavar all her hair started to grow back thick and luxurious again.

i've had it done it painful just like electrolysis
it takes time cuz depends whatz causing the hair growth
theres something like over 5000 hair follicles per square inch on your face
so when you kill one hair another has room & a chance to grow
hair grows in cycles
you have to get laser done about every 6 wks for this reason
i had a series of 8 treatments 6 wks apart
didn't totally clear but alot better
so it takes time for laser or electrolysis to work
laser isn't for everyone
and if my electrolysis wasn't away i'd get her to post something
i will when she's back as she can better explain the whole hair growing issue
unfortunately when it comes to using steriods
the hair growth on the face & other bodyparts is an undesirable issue
unfortunately theres no simple easy cheap painless method for permanent removal
once these changes have occured
i'm speaking from experience

How long has it been since the first time you used it?

I would love to know how this works in the long run too! I end up using an electric razor on my bikini line before comp to prevent ingrown hairs.

I am doing laser right now.. upper lip, chin and sides.. I only been to 2 sessions and OMG.. i'm already seeing a difference my next appointment is Jan. 21st I go every 6 weeks. Those little areas is costing me $188 a session at a Plastic surgeon office not Esthetician. I don't think there is a need for maintenance unless you have some stubborn ones that didn't go away. Every session only 20% gets permanantely lasered. I know a girl got her whole body done $$$$$ she seems very happy with the results. The darker and corse the hair the better. The nurses loves me but very painful. If you are planning on it don't forget to buy some Emla cream to numb the area and if you need to bite on something I bought myself a mouth guard lol..

I've had laser done on entire legs/thighs/bikini and under ams.
I had 5 sessions, ending appx 2 years ago. Then I was totally free of hair growth for 10 months. After 10 mths a very, very light growth started to appear some places in the bikini area. Then after a few weeks I went for a follow-up session, and have not seen any hair growth since.
I'm told to expect appx 1 session every year.
