Laser hair removal

So, I’ve been having my man parts waxed for a year. All of it, like pre-pubescent. Above the shaft and everything below. I’ve been really enjoying it.
Doing some math, I think it would be more cost effective to laser it long term.
Right now, after a year of waxing I’ve let it grow a bit to get ready for laser and it’s amazingly thin and sparse already.
Would you leave the above the shaft alone or just go completely bald? Laser is eventually permanent while waxing can almost be after a many many times but may eventually grow some back of you stop.
Just curious what both men and women think. I’m going to do my ears too. I wish they would laser the nose hairs, but that’s not a thing. I’ll still have to have those wax pulled.

I have considered this to, I am tired of triming and shaving. I have been doing it ever since college, and I am in my 40’s now.

How much is something like that going for these days?

Waxing costs about $100 every 4-5 weeks if you keep up. You cannot shave in between or you won’t have anything to wax.
Laser costs vary but at least $200+ per session and you need to do about 6 or so sessions, but spaced over 1-2 years. Then you’re done.

Well, you may not be totally done, but essentially done. You might need a touch up if any rogue hairs appear.

Definitely go for it if you like the convenience of not having to wax every once in a while

Just FYI, my understanding is Laser really does not work on any Gray or Light colored hair.

Not going back to the little beauty center. She uses too much tweezers for fuck sake.

Ms. June.Moon, where is your studio and approximately how much are waxing sessions? You can PM me info, if you wish. Thank you.

I did it.
Was very strange. Didn't hurt. Just little quick stings and you can smell burning hair which is interesting, because it was all under the skin (shaved) for the session.

Did they do the under the belt stuff too or just like the back and other more visible body parts?

If it’s the former, was it painful at all?

Exponentially better than laser for hair removal is Jett Plasma Vet.

No the damage to collateral tissues and heals in half the time. Doesn't damage adjacent glands.

It's like the difference between dial-up and generative AI.

Makes for a great view!

If waxing pain level is 10, laser is a 2.

Greenhornet,

You are correct about grey and white hair. Solution, use a toothbrush and some semi-perm hair color on those hairs before your laser session. Then the machine can see the hairs and remove them like all the other hairs!

Be sure to only get the hair color on the hairs only, try to avoid getting it on your skin. I suggest a dark brown versus black, as it doesn't stain the skin as badly.

This really does work!

Ajay, I’m not sure what dying the hair above the skin would accomplish. The whole point of laser hair removal destroys the follicle under the skin. You’re actually supposed to shave all the hair above the skin so the laser doesn’t waste its time melting hairs above the skin instead of melting the follicle under the skin. If your follicles are not dark, it won’t attack them.

Update on the laser treatments. Been twice so far.
I’ve now discovered I’ve got a handful of old-man white pubic hairs that laser will never touch.
Don’t let anybody kid you, laser can’t do white hair.
Did some research and discovered that the only permanent way of dealing with those are electrolysis. In discussing with the electrolysis folks, it’s recommended to first finish the laser treatments and then get the stragglers with electrolysis. So that’s what I’ll do.
