Anyone here every try at-home laser hair removal? Does it work or is it a gimmick? I've got hair on a, uh, sensitive area that needs to be gone permanently and I'm too embarrassed to go somewhere and have it done.

Gimmick. I used a $20 machine, and did about 12 sessions over the course of half a year. Some hair is gone for good, but each follicle took 30-45 sec, since the machine is so weak and inconsistent. You have to constantly reapply salt water to fingers, and manage connecting the "circuit" while inserting, holding, and removing the needle from face. It also feel crazy to do, alone, and isolated.

oh. the closest you can get is probably a good ipl.
but they are time consuming af. and the process is slow. also they dont even get rid of like pubes imo.
i've ipl'd my pube area like 30+x and it sitll grows like normal.but on other parts of my body where the hair is finer its okay.
like i dont think ipl does shit for thick pubes/face hair etc. or just thick hair in general.

i am interested if there is a better /diy/ permanent way.

otherwise cough up 1-2k and search for deals on laser/electrolysis places
also you can just call a laser salon place and tell them straight up the situation.
and 1 of them will do it. for probably less than 500.

oh there is some spots where the hair didnt grow back on the thick areas but i remember all of those flashes with ipl because it literally burned me and left red marks there. but at least hair doesnt grow there.
and the red marks went away after like 1-2 weeks also the little snip area is covers is tiny.
it is very tedious.

that why this anon felt like they were going crazy doing it. >>38045972


it used to take me over 1+ hour to ipl my lower half each time. like close to 100+ times.
>>
so overall, like you are looking at probably close to 100+ hours and if you are lucky you can probably find 1 on sale for like 80-200
and it wont be all hairs. and you will have to do it like every week 1-2x over probably years to get good coverage.

or you can pay a beautician to all of it for like 2k
