Congratulate me. I did it! I didn't chicken out from going to my first laser hair removal treatment. I got there about 15 minutes early. I was super nervous. I checked in with the receptionist. She was not as friendly as the first receptionist I met when I went for a consultation but the technician more than made up for it.
How the procedure works...
1. The area that will be treated is iced for 5-10 minutes.
2. She starts blasting away at the hair
I have to say that the upper lip was the most painful part. Other than that -- it was all good. The sensation feels like a pin prick but if you're iced up really good, it's not bad at all. I'm glad I did it and I'm counting on the results to be fabulous. As for right now, Chewbacca has less hair than me. Kidding... but it sure does feel that way!

TMI: Hairy
The facial hair is totally hormonal and is one of the symptoms of my infertility woes. Apparently, my body does not produce enough progesterone to stave off the effects of the testosterone thus... facial hair. I've been putting this off for so long but I finally made the time to do it. I wish I started earlier.
Here's the crazy thing: while getting treatment, I CANNOT pluck, nair, or wax. The only thing I can do is shave. Uggghhhh!!!! Shaving on women is so unattractive. It makes a woman's face look all masculine. But at this point, I don't really care! I'll be glad with the final results. After the first treatment, I have to allow the hair to fall out on its own. The hair will continue to grow until the follicle dies. I feel like going into hibernation for a couple months. (I'm glad I'm not working yet.)
The technician I consulted with advised that I come for my follow-up treatments every six weeks. If I could, I'd do it every four weeks. I'm just really ready to get this done and over with. Send me good vibes!!
