Laser has changed a lot in ten years. It used to be IPL which I found never had any effect on my thick body hair. I get it done at sk:n and have never looked back, worth every penny. I notice a 90% hair reduction after the first treatment. I also have sensitive skin, I waxed my upper lip, burnt it and it crusted over for two months, I had to apply 8 hour creme to it about 4 times a day to get it to stop flaking.
