Hair removal doesn’t have to be the pits

Thu, Feb 12, 2009

I have to admit that the thoughts of going for potentially painful/stingy laser treatment on my underarms on a Saturday didn’t have me jumping for joy, however, for the prize of being hair-free I’d walk to the moon and back if I had to.

So, I got my nervous self to the Laserderm Clinic where Lisa Callaghan put me quickly at ease and brought me through the introduction. Then it was up onto the bed and start zapping.
