Let’s talk about laser hair removal. Truly one of my personal best beauty investments (in my opinion).
Around 2016-2017, I had around eight laser hair removal treatments on my bikini and underarms while living in California. I would say it successfully permanently removed 80% of my underarm hair and 50% of my bikini to date.
I have read that hormonal changes can cause hair to come back, and I could (and one day might!) touch up these areas with additional treatments. The small percentage of hair that does return is usually finer, lighter and sparser than the original hair (and that has been my own experience as well).
But I have always wanted to treat my legs. I knew it was a bigger investment and I never prioritized it in the midst of moving, having kids, etc.
The time has come.
And I am THRILLED with the results so far. I went to Milan Laser Hair Removal in Athens, Georgia to treat my legs, and so far I’ve had three treatments. I currently plan to do six treatments, and they offer packages with lifetime treatments. So you pay once, and can touch up these areas as needed indefinitely. Which is incredible. So we’re going to be pals.
Know that Milan Laser has over 400 locations in 39 states, so if you travel a lot or move frequently, it’s extremely accommodating. The place where I got my underarms/bikini
I do have dark leg hair with the majority being between my ankle and knee. This makes me a great candidate, and I was not expecting to see such significant improvement so soon. When hair does grow, it’s not as thick or coarse as it once was (mostly shin down). It’s softer and lighter in color, which I also appreciate.
Before Laser Hair Treament #1: I needed to shave every 3 days or so.
After Laser Hair Treatment #1: I would shave once a week.
After Laser Hair Treatment #2: I shave my legs probably once every 8-10 days.
Laser Hair Treatment #3: Happened on Wednesday so too soon to tell!
And I still have several treatments to go. I can’t say that everyone will have this exact experience, but I saw progress immediately and having smooth legs daily with such little effort is honestly a dream.
I plan to check back in on my experience once all of the treatments are done. I’ll share if I saw another jump as significant as 0 to 1.
You can find out if there is a Milan Laser near you here, as well as see all the areas they treat, before/after photos and customize a treatment plan based on the areas you’d like to have treated. I know I’m going to be so thrilled that I did this – because I already am.
I received complimentary treatments in exchange for sharing my experience; however, all opinions expressed are entirely my own.
