Laser Hair Removal Treatment #8

I am a little late on this treatment , things have been crazy lately ( I'll update later) .
So this treatment I did on setting 4 I guess you would call it on the Silk N SenseEpil laser hair removal system .
I did my Chin , upper lip , bikini area and my under arms . I also added a new area to my treatment . To spare you to many details as you know the PCOS i have causes excess hair in places you do not really want it . Well, one of those places is your stomach.
Lots of women get a dark hair line when they get pregnant. Mine never went away.
Its something that has bothered me for a long time. Its something no one else see's because of my weight gain I have the ever so lovely "Apron" as they call it .
But its something that bothers me. SO I went ahead and zapped that sucker tonight. What the heck huh ?

I have learned a little trick ....
After a few zaps as I call them the bulb seems to get a little hot. That in my opinion is what hurts , or causes the discomfort . If you will wait about 10 seconds between zaps when it starts to get hot it seems to help that issue.

My results so far , i'll go by area:
My bikini area ( I am starting with just the inner thigh ( where your inner thigh meets your well you know LOL )
I have noticed a big change there. I do not have to shave near as often . I would say Once a week IF that ! That's HUGE for me . To not have to shave at least every other day .

My Under Arms: I know this may sounds odd but the hair on the upper part of my under arms seems to be nearly gone . The lower part I have to shave it probably once a week as well .

My upper lip: I could probably get a way with only shaving this once a week as well.
This is a hard one for me to get use to and judge because its such an obvious area on my face I think everyone can see if there are hairs there even if there are now.

My Chin: Again hard for my to judge because of the area and being self conscious. But safely I think I could go w/ out shaving this but 2 times a week . This may not seem like a big deal to you but for me HUGE ! To not have to shave my chin every DAY is huge .

My over all impression on the progress. VERY VERY VERY encouraged. I feel like the Silk N SenseEpil is working, its making good progress and I am more than happy with it thus far.

My next update I plan on ( If I can remember counting how many zaps It takes each treatment. I think it would be good for people to know how many zaps they can get out of each cartridge . I plan on ordering a new one soon , with my coupon from the company !

My Body Says HELL NO



Apparently eating crap , or treats every now in then is not going to happen for me. At least not until I get back down to goal weight and have some wiggle room.
Last night ( Night being the operative word ! ) I weighted myself. 182 pds. This morning 184 ! Go ahead and tell me your body fluctuates. I know all that shit . BUT what did my dumb ass do last night after being so proud of myself on the scale and for being so good the day before and that day ? At a bowl of ice cream. Small bowl,yes it was, and I added protein milk , but who the hell gains 2 pounds over NIGHT ?
I guess my PCOS ass does ! WTF ? So all the crap is out of my house, really the only thing I have in it right now is ice cream , OH and the 10 pounds of candy waiting to go in my son's valentines bags for school . Yes I know it could just be water weight ( by the way I dont believe that water weight crap ) so we'll see .

I was good today


(This picture has nothing to do with anything other than I like the title LOL)

I was good today , no milk shakes, no crap and weighted myself at the END of the night and I was down to 182 pounds ( Am I really putting in public my fat weight again ? )
That's down 7lbs since my fill !
Im thinking I might be able to hit 180 by morning LOL ! BITCHING.. YES I just said bitching .

Laser Hair Removal Progress Pics


After 7 treatments

Sorry the pictures do not come out well .. I'll try again later. But maybe you can notice some difference , I think I can notice some change taking place.

Laser Hair Treatment #7

Laser Hair treatment #7 (Read my last treatment here )
I did the treatment last night.
I did the usual area's, chin , lip , under arms and bikini area.

I can really start seeing results now .
The hair is MUCH Thinner for sure.
I would say I could probably go for a day w/ out shaving my chin if I needed it . I am not 100% comfortable doing that yet , self confidence issues, i think everyone can see my stubble, but it would be close.

My under arms: I Have such a bad memory I am going to see how many days I can go starting today out out needing to shave. I'll take a picture of them today ( I shaved them before doing the treatment last night ) and see what it looks like once I feel like I have to shave, and see how many days it is.

My chin , i would post more pics of but its so hard to get a good picture of .
Ok so I lied I just took a decent pic w/ my cell phone of all things.

I'll post the comparison pics on the next post . I'll be interested to see side by side pics as well. Drum roll please .....
