That felt more like an advert rather than being informative :(
I had both legs done in one sitting years ago after being tired of shaving them all of the time. It was about 15 years ago and an older laser was used. It hurt a bit like a rubber band hitting the skin. Only after 1 treatment, I'd say 85-90% of the hair is still off of my legs all of these years later. The treatments were definately worth it to me.
Do you mean 80%-90% of your unwanted hair had gun away ?
@@jameswilliam5247 Yes.
I've had my underarms done and its taken like 6 sessions for 80% to be gone
@@nopo8011 Maybe I had a more powerful laser?
How much does it take?
Sounds like advertising.
but he didn’t ask the most important question. Are there possible long term health effects?? In like the early 1900’s(I’m unsure of exact dates) women used to get x-rays for the sole purpose of hair removal. That left them with health issues down the road.
Well nobody knows the long term effects because it hasn't been that long yet. Suffice it to say nothing close to the level of danger of exposing yourself to x-ray radiation.......probably.
1) it doesn't reach that far
2) it's just led laser, not a radioactivity inducer.
3) all it does is heat up the hair at around 60 ℃
x rays can give you a lot of health issues. The radiation the x rays give off, having multiple x rays over you life time can do a lot of damage. However hair removal is just was a laser. It goes into the dermis of their hair, no deeper. so its not effecting your internal organs or anything deeper then the dermis because its not strong enough
It's not radiation going into the skin. And no there has been no long term effects documented. Laser hr removal has been around for a long time.
"Virtually painless" HAH, that's a good one.

Laser hair removal IS NOT PAIN FREE!!!!!!!
it is ..compared to waxing darling!
Omoge_N it’s mostly pain free, it gets less and less painful everytime as ur skin gets less hairy
Waxing is WAYYYYYY worse
It’s manageable, and eventually feels pain free
Oh it so is. I have no clue where you got it done, but where I got it done, one place it felt like little tiny pinches (potency was high), and the other, I didn't feel A THING. Also, go for diode, NOT IPL.
Is it me or he didn’t say if it was safe? Yeah, he was shocked how easy and fast it was, but I didn’t hear him comment if it was safe.
He implied it when he mentioned it targeting the hair and not irritating the skin, while he was showing the graphs on screen
I know Im randomly asking but does anyone know a tool to log back into an instagram account??
I stupidly forgot the login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Khalil Jedidiah instablaster ;)
@Jaxxon Johnathan I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Jaxxon Johnathan It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you really help me out!
But what about the longterm effects such as the likelihood of developing cancers such as melanoma? And what about potential nerve damage (since each hair follicle is attached to a small nerve)?
RIP Spidey no one is saying anything about that🤔
It won't go that deep. All laser does is heat up the bulb of the hair in order to burn the surrounding cells. Also, every part of your body is connected to nervous terminals, but thankfully we have a thick organ protecting all that: your skin.
@@giupinkfairy my lasered areas have been hurting(especially armpits),the pain is not on the surface but it goes deep,so idk what is that about
@Char Stevens Really it didnt work for me 😪
@Char Stevens hi. Isit safe to use
I use at home IPL for armpits and it has helped sooo much!! It does take a long time like months doing it once a week but the hair does grow thinner and slower
I had full brazilian laser hair removal it worked great. Now I’m smooth af.
Where did you get it done at?
@@BeautifulLove8888 at a medspa
I have pcos so not only did laser hurt SOOO much but also the laser made my hair coarser and grow back worst because the laser rays caused a bigger hormonal imbalance
Leora Cho really?? I also have pcos and ive been doing UA laser for 5 years and the hair is already thin. You can barely see them. Mine was really thick and coarse before
Chae everyone is different I guess, but that’s what my doctor told me. Pcos is also misdiagnosed a lot but either way, everyone’s different but a lot of women with pcos don’t have a good experience usually with laser and even when they do it takes more sessions and it’s only disguising a bigger problem :(
Even they know you have pcos. It will not work for you. Thay will never tell you.
I've only had 2 sessions and 70% of my armpit hair is gone. I have PCOS and on meds for it. So I don't think it's about having PCOS. Did you use diode or IPL?
I also have PCOS and Im planning to have a brazilian diode laser. Im doing my sessions for my underarms and so far so good. I have thin hair now.
It hurts a lot but I might say that for me it was a 'good hurt' as I got used to it, because I wanted it done very much.
Just got my session done yesterday for the first time. They put numbing cream on for me and while they were doing my bikini line they had a cool fan while using the laser. Helped a lot. It’s more uncomfortable than painful. But fast process!!
Sar tye yes it did honestly. In some spots you’ll feel like a light rubber band snap feeling but it isn’t too bad. I’m the biggest wimp there is, and I’m at my 5th sesssion now
@@Kaitlynsfashion thanks for sharing. I always wondered if it's really painful lol
@@Kaitlynsfashion di is it permanent?? Hairs will be back after some tym plz reply ms
Any side effects like skin cancer or premature aging?
Wow definitely will try it. My mum already do laser hair removal but I was scared but right now not anymore👏🏻👏🏻
Everyone has different lasers so you have to ask for this one.
Did you do?
Did you try it ?
Just had it done a month ago at aOBGYN and it was painful
It doesn’t hurt at all! I love it!!!
have yoy jad your bikini area done?
Some people call it 'Cancer Stick'. What about that?
I’m 16 and can’t wait to get this done when I’m older
lol Do not think about it
@@RamiBrighet why? Laser hair removal isn’t even bad
@@vivian-yy7gf uh u might wanna research.
@@ohtaesvn um no? I already got laser removal and nothing happened... y’all ain’t even try but say it’s bad
@@vivian-yy7gf wait for the side effects, sweetheart.
I’m using it too.this one is the best but not sure if their is a side effects
It’s isn’t pain free. I was squirming on the chair wondering how on earth they advertise this as being easy when it feels like red hot needles stabbing into your skin again and again. And I had bikini line and under arms done......
Is it safe ? I want to do it too on my legs
@@Islahinpeaceland2199 it’s supposed to be safe. I think legs would be less painful
@@lilbebeh9243 indeed, thank u
Its laser hair reduction
He looks like the captain from himym
My lazer treatments was 600 euro for one session of 20 minutes. With alexandrite lazer. Hair did grow back afrer not continue to go to take more treatments as I needed 8 in total but I taked only 3.
Tyyne Viljakainen VERY expensive for what it is. I wax and after a while it stops growing anyway
So it does work?
I did it in Algeria, 25 euros per treatment. ;)
Laser hair reduction not hair removal
I wonder if the at home lazor treatments safe.
Lux IPL seems to be doing well.
I am definitely considering getting laser hair removal!
from a scientist
plz do your own research as well as taking an opinion from a professional to be on the safe side
Is it safe to get pregnant?
Nothing beats electrolysis! I had laser on my neck and of course spent about 1600. Electrolysis is cheaper and the hair isn't returning and I'm having more areas treated on my face.
Electrolysis don’t work the hair comes back every 2 weeks. I did it for 2 years on my eyebrows/face. I wasted $1032 for the year. I put that towards my laser treatments and my hair is not back.

Electrolysis actually makes hair grow thicker and your skin gets pigmented
@bbygrlpt2 Not true.The dermatologist will handle the pigmentation concerns. Electrolysis is permanent hair removal. Laser is permanent hair reduction. I've had both, and both have a place in treatment. Depends on the area of treatment and your journey
@@ricksteven2155 Nah no one that I know that has used electrolysis has had any good results. Its made their hair grow thicker
If you have pcos all it will do is stimulate the hair growth... get electrolysis and be put on a strict pcos diet.
I’m so glad you said that. I have that and I was about to get laser hair removal. Will be doing more research...
N.A. Conen it happened to me! I get electrolysis now and it’s painful but worth it. The results are permanent and it’s less expensive than laser. I think laser hair removal might be good for other hairs just not the face!
j son what is pcos ???
@@NAConen that's not true. I've had PCOS and had only 2 sessions and can already see 70% less hair. Of course, I see my endocrinologist regularly and try to keep it under control
@Jenny Marshall it is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
What's the brand of this machine ?
But there are lot of women on RUclips saying lazer treatment actually made it worse.
I had it today it was painful but acceptable pain. What they were showing is not true.
I have learned so much from this doctor, but I have to say, she looks so much like the actor Ellen Grey(Sue Ellen) from DALLAS!!
Yeah! She looks like Linda Gray.
@@toivomvula exactly 😂
So for people with Vitiligo is a no no isn't it?
My wife made the same stupid mistake as you did and paid for something she was able to do her self. The machine is sold on Amazon that is similar to what they use and it works just the same except your paying between 89-300 for what every machine you choose to buy. I spent over 8k for these clinics that hussle you for something that doesn’t cost much physical labor but they charge you as if it was surgical. Go buy your machine and try it yourself and if you don’t like it then return it but trust me you’ll like it and you’ll want to have wish you didn’t pay insane amount of money for these thieving crooks of clinics or solans.
Does laser hair removal help with hidradenitis suppurativa ?
I tried it and it didn’t work. 6 sessions and hundreds of dollars wasted.
Dee Marie Really? I’ve never done it and want to try it
@@lauras627 Stop to read all negative comments. Don't know this laser and I don't need to. If Lazer don't make a sound then I would not trust it. Are you seriously read and believe all negative comments??? I had Lazer treatments 3 times and hair did grow back because it needs to be re dun 8 times in total. Lazer called alexandrite and I would not use others. Every good treatment costs. For good solution you will need to have to pay. My skin tone is white and hair was black then Lazer work as a dream. Remember that if you have problems in your health then hair might come back because of it.
Laura X yes. I had 6 treatments but I will say the machine I used looked different than this one. I know someone who did laser and it worked for her. Not me tho. Guess it just depends.
@@deemarie911 if you used IPL, you'll probably need 3 times more sessions. That's why you need to do research and talk to dermatologists first.
@@deemarie911 they say that it isn't effective for dark skin tones. Perhaps that may have been it? That sucks your experience wasn't effective because it's a lot of money.
What kind of laser is this? I have done underarm lasers and they are painful 😣!
so is this where Sphynx cats go before they were sold?
It's painful. Specially the bikini area 😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔
S L your facebook nam?
@@mypersonal6682 ask me here
Worth it as long as it works
@@veronica- to be honest it worth the pain .. I'm happy with my result still that there are 3 left but so far it's recognisable effort 😁
@@saral9809 can you please share, how much does it costs?
What about skin cancer from the laser?
Shivanan Seenath
LMAO it's not UV. Tanning beds can cause cancer
@@giupinkfairy that's how people laughed when tanning beds were introduced to the market and the same question was asked:)
I know she didnt just click that little bitty lasee on her and said its that fast and it works. Lol im sorry but in order for me to feel comfortable im going to need that Laser Beam and i want to smell the hair that burned out after. Thats how you know it works.
I was told that Facial hair ( beard) for Men is impossible to get rid of, I have been doing laser hair removal for my beard due to ingrown hair problems, it been over a year now and my beard still growing, is laser really effective on Men facial hair or is it a fraud just to keep paying for sessions?
I really want to know if laser can cause cancer ? Since laser machines use radiation.
Ionized radiation vs non ionizing
There is no evidence that laser hair removal therapy causes cancer. The lasers are designed to pass through the skin cells and only target the hair follicles deep within the skin.
Laser machines of this type do NOT use radiation
Painless but everywhere I see reviews in comments that it hurts
The question is does it work if so which device does the job
Yes, it does. Go for diode, avoid IPL, since it will most likely burn your skin and isn't effective.
Also, which laser is the best and relatively least painful???
Also, how about mentioning post laser care about avoiding sunlight and hot showers???
You'll get that info from the technician. Usually no sun exposure for like 4 days. The best lasers are diode and right after my underarms session I was able to put on deodorant.
Motus AX by Deka.. 100% painless and an Alexandrite wavelength that can treat all skin types
The Candela GentleMax Pro laser is one of the best lasers on the market
Electrolysis is more effective ladies
But painful ladies
@@deadz8551 i didnt think it hurt lol
Painful and expensive
Painful, expensive, and SLOW ladies
It's painful but worth it!!! I went through 12 treatments of laser on my face and it grew BACK and it seemed like there was MORE hair. I started electrolysis in September and I only have a couple of hairs growing back. It's painful, but take a Tylenol before u go and numbing cream. Expensive, but worth it for permanent hair removal.
Ingrown hairs from waxing?????
Yesss sis.. Waxing sucks
@@killphaser25 didn't think waxing could cause bumps or ingrown like shaving wow ;(
I bought "Absolute" by Epilady. It uses advanced infrared laser to get rid off hair. The light it flashes is red instead of white like demos I've seen. Will that work?
LoL the dermatologist name is Doris day. There was only ONE Doris day to me.
Far from painless and thos is five years later. So she lied. That stuff hurts. Feels like a lighter on your skin
whats the name of that laser treatment specifically so I can search around my area? thank you
That was bullshit lol, I got laser done and it always makes a beeping and snapping sound.
What machine does they use on you? 🤔
Wait a minute ... so did she only get one armpit done ? Or did they end up doing both?
During pregnency is it safe starting time
I'm 18 and hair is coming from weird places and it's not comfortable I cut it off it grew back in less than a week(not at it's fullest...) I'm looking to exterminate permanently
What Laser is she using???
Do hair follicle perform any function,which could be potentially blocked by killing it?
Yes, hairs help in the detection of touch. Each hair follicle is attached to a small nerve. So that is why you can feel it when even one hair is moved.
Body hair is there to protect your largest organ. It’s a shame any body hair is considered unwanted.
Hair moisturize the skin.
Body hair is very helpful in general if we weren't wearing clothes but unfortunately its not sexy...
@@NinaC4116 when you have pcos TRUST me facial hair is something you DONT want 😞
What type of laser did the doctor use, name etc?
As someone who has been getting laser done for sometime trust me when i say this, if your esthetician or doctor is giving you one shot per area, walk away with your money. Some of the best lasers are yag and diode (being used in the video -which btw was totally not working cause it should have a flash and this is also the one I use). When you do one shot per area, you risk not treating all the hairs. My esthetician who is a blessing in my life worked with doctors at a hospital I worked at so I knew she was a pro. Through her I learned you need to go in circular motions and have a few shots at the same area so it is effective and gives proper results. At this rate you can be doing laser forever and have no results 🤦🏽♀️ this technique is a money grab
so the at home ones r no good?
@@xan8185 no they are a waste of money. You're better of shaving or waxing then
Three shots and that’s it! What a bunch of bs. I did the tria in underarm and did about 7 treatments with about 20 shots per treatment. Worked some. I have hair but not as many.
Anmol Bains i went for my first treatment and it was quick but she only did it once . My hairs are growing thick again as if I didn’t do the first treatment . Going to have to tell her to step it up a notch .
755 alexandrite is the gold standard in laser hair removal - way more effective than any diode... 1064 for darker skin types types..
what ist the name of the laser machine? plz
I love you, Dr. Oz ❤ You are so handsome!!!!
i really need this.

what's the name of this laser??
I have tria it hurts
I had my first session on Saturday, it wasn't scary at all! The lady made me feel very comfortable. It doesn't hurt at all on fleshy parts.
Its uncomfortable on bony parts it feels like someone is pricking you with a needle but obviously its different for each individual.
My skin is very white and i have black hair .What type of laser do u recommend me guys?
You joking
Here in Pakistan it's about
Rs 5000 to 10000
50 dollar is 5000 RS here
But for here that's much expensive here un fortunately
What about the devices you can buy to do it yourself at home?
I want to know what the name of that machine is.....?
I wonder if it works as well for guys since they tend to have thicker body hair
yeah but depending on how thick your hair is you might need a one or few more treatments
Yupp
Even better the hair follicle/ pore is more visible which makes the laser recognize and kill it faster. It’s more effective
Yes! It works wonderfully and the thicker and darker, the better. Just be careful if you have dark skin
Buyer beware. Permanent skin damage possible
Great info! Thank you
so... they did only her right armpit.
Very informative
I also want to get rid of body hair too
Very helpful!
How much is cost
Can men ipl the NECK?
The video is a little too biased towards women, men have this issue too. If anything we have it worse since our hair is often thicker and more coarse.
If anyone can tell me that if your doctor does treatment without the gel?
No, it won't transmit the heat otherwise
She said she'd love to remove the hair under her underarm but there's no hair, what hair??
Good Girl she shaved beforehand
Isn't it important for the laser gel to be applied before actual laser?
Doesn't that depend on the type of laser being used ?
I need it
Does it wrk on white hair pls do rply
No it doesnt, it picks up on dark hair
Watts name of laser
Laser is an acronym, it’s not a real laser
do football player skin removal laser???
Is this machine available at any skin clinics?
Definitely should but you'll have better lick at private clinics
What is the make and model of the hair removal machine used ?
I've always had such annoying unwanted hairs around my chest area so I keep coming back to these videos and seeing how it goes for others 😂 I found this pretty cool one though and it has been working super well! Apparently its a new trend too and I find it as a must have!! babyamyco.com - this should do the trick if you want to try it out 😊
Men's hair is usually thicker in the follicles are deeper under the skin these products are in towards women but as a man wants this time will I even work or will it just be like waxing will it come back over time or do I have to go for more treatments costing me more money
It will work even better it works bests or dark and coarse hair
Amazing from where i can get this pls anyone can guide me i am in Dubai any online site i can order
You can get it done at a medical center or medical institute. And they're VERY expensive to buy, and you can burn yourself if you don't know what you're doing, so better go to specialists
Get the right laser for your face
Who’s this lady
Im currently on my 7th session, I'm a male and I'm getting my neck done as it always flares up when i shave. But as it stands most of the hairs are still growing but are now white/grey, about 25% are still black. So I'm wondering is this part of the process and has anyone else has an issue like this.
Just FYI, i know laser hair removal doesn't work on white or grey hairs, but my hairs weren't white/grey when this process started.
Thanks in advance for your help.

im bald and been getting lazerd on my head, am i going to die soon ? Lol
Who knows? But laser has wavelength that isn't long enough to damage your tissues, only heat up the hair follicle.
😂😂😂😂
Im q gay man alnd wanted to get rid off all my facile hair and im so happy
I want to laser my scalp so I don't have to shave EVERY DAY lol.
I was wondering if anyone has used lasers to get a permanent edge up 😆
From what I've heard you can't get laser hair removal on your scalp. Too many veins and sensitive tissue up there.
