Laser Hair Removal is a place to discuss experiences with body and facial hair removal using lasers. Read more about mine at www.elainerose.com/words/laser.htm . Also see the Files and Links sections of this group. I'm particularly interested in beard removal for MTF transsexuals, but please feel free to discuss all aspects of laser hair removal. (I will remove any posts not related to hair removal.)

For information about all forms of hair removal, I encourage you to visit Andrea James's site HairFacts.com.

I have put this group on restricted membership because it was becoming quite a spam catcher. Just apply for membership and I'll approve you. I presume the spammers won't take the trouble.

Here is a pic of me, after:
* 10 laser treatments over a period of one year
* 10 more laser treatments over the next year, while I was using Meladine
* 100 hours of electrolysis over the next year
* And another year with no treatments (and no regrowth); I pluck a few little white hairs every week

Based on my experience, my recommendation is:
* Try laser first and see if it works for you
* 6 or 8 laser treatments gets you most of what it's going to get
* Meladine works to a small extent to get white hairs and stubborn dark hairs, but it's not worth the expense and trouble
* Finish up with electrolysis

Be soft and smooth, everyone!
