Treatment #5

Gah.

So the Monday after Mexico apt was pushed back a week.

I was paranoid about my tan and didn't want the laser to burn me. I rescheduled for a Friday.

I ended up getting super sick and had to cancel that appointment.

So today was the rescheduled {for the third time} day.

I used numbing cream, 5 ibuprofen, and 2 anti-anxiety herbs.

The last 2 times I have had appointments its been on the day that the monthy prize has been due to arrive. {I am so smart} and extra sensitive.

Today didnt go too bad infact I didnt clench like crazy. small sucess for me.

Treatment #4...

Last Wednesday was treatment #4

Obviously I didn't get to blog about it that day. Here are the updates:

I was actually suppose to have #4 done 4 weeks ago, but it was scheduled for the Monday after I got home from my honeymoon so needless to say it was forgotten about. Because of that I noticed an increase in hair growth in all areas (still not even close to where it was before)

Due to the pain last appointment I was nervous. I used the numbing cream took 6 ibuprofen and an anti-anxiety herbal supplement.

It wasnt too bad. I was actually abel to relax and take deep breaths. My next appointment is scheduled for 4 weeks out due to the skipped appointment. So it looks like I will be back in the hot seat 3 days after I get home from Mexico. Pray pray pray I use enough sunscreen. :)

Until then,

Treatment #3...

Whew... I am so glad I am done with that for another 6 weeks.

Numbing cream defiantly helps... But it still doesn't feel nice, not nice at all.

I have decided I need to learn how to breathe deep and relax instead of holding my breath and clenching through pain.

I tried to keep telling myself... its permanent... it will be worth it... and it helped. You can power through anything for 15 mins.

More Updates...

Tommorrow will mark a week on birth control... I have noticed...

Slightly more/faster hair growth...

Next treatment is a week from today.

Cross your fingers.

Updates...

It's been 3 weeks since my last appointment and here is whats going on...

Armpits: I havent shaved them in 3 weeks... 90% of the hair is completly gone.

Lower Abs: I havent shaved there in over 6 weeks... 99% of the hair is completly gone.

Bikini: I havent shaved there in 3 weeks... 80% of the hair is completly gone. In fact there is only one strip of hair that still grows.

Brazilian: Growth is very slow... 75% of the hair is completly gone.

I am soo happy with the results so far! My next appointment is January 10th. So 2 weeks until another update!

I just started birth control today... so I guess we will see if it plays any role in this sucessful story!

2nd Treatment

Numbing cream today was a total fail.

I applied it correctly, but had an eye lash extension appointment before the laser appointment. (at the same med spa) Lesson learned. By the time my laser appointment rolled around, the numbing cream had wore off.

It was pretty ouchie. I felt my body's adrenalin start pumping, I started sweating and shaking, so I  tried to just grit my teeth and power through. Within a few minutes it was all over. I was relieved and still believed that waxing is way more painful.

Fingers crossed for permanent results!

Sooo happy!

So in my last post, I was worried about nerve damage.
 I must have been having a weird day... cause I am not worried about it at all now.

I am however really excited.... I haven't shaved in two weeks!!!!

Here is an update in the areas:
Armpits: there is hardly any hair seriously... feels like peach fuzz (I used to have to shave them every other day!)

Lower abs: no hair has grown back yet! yay!

Bikini Area: very thinned out hardly any visible hair.

Brazilian Area: some serious bald spots where nothing is growing back. The other areas the hair is super fine and soft.

Also all areas I have noticed the hair is growing back way way way slower!

3 more weeks before my next appointment!
