i agree. some people dont understand what it is to be hairy.

your back will be expensive and as already mentioned here, it will work better if you have light skin and dark hair. if you can afford it go for it. i really liked it.

this is where i went. maybe they can answer some of your questions, even though they probably dont have a center near you:

hey thanks. umm about my back, how about thw whole body? thats what i really want. im very light skin, and yes i have dark hair.

The reason it doesn't remove all the hair permanently is because it only acts on active follicles. And half of the hair follicles on your body are inactive at any given time... So it effectively kills only a part of your total hair follicles.

(Not too sure if the term 'active' is the correct way to describe it, but thats the general concept)

Generally, Asians don't have much body hair. But I'm an exception. :/

you are right. that is why you need to go through several treatments - cause follicles become active in cycles. regardless, you wont get all the hair. i did get a huge reduction though but i still have to wax for maintenance.

as for doing your whole body - omg that would be fucking expensive...

im like a translucent rug. but it works pretty well cuz its just hairy chest legs and arms, luckily my back isnt hairy! thats the fucking worst haha sorry moonshine, you should do it. my hair isnt even what you would call blonde its seriously see-through with very faint blonde undertones...kinda cool

I was thinking of getting this done, for my back too. Then I realized how poor I am so I didn't do it. I use that epil stop stuff. it works pretty good. but sometimes i just let it grow so that I can take off my shirt without anyone noticing that I'm not wearing one. Plus it keeps me warm in the winter.

hey can you order one epel stop and sparay for me please, ill pay you. i dont have a credit card or anything with me. if u dont mind, thanks. if u mind then u dont have to worry about it.

hm, well this is interesting.. i hadnt known that it only really works well if you have dark hair.

my skin is quite fair, but i have blond (or maybe brown) hair. does this mean it wouldnt work well? i plan on getting all of it "down there" done. quite a good investment, as far as im concerned.

(i speak solely about the area that i will be getting done)

im not sure if youve dated anyone yet, or had sex, but i think i can honestly say that no one, male or female, enjoys choking on pubic hairs. thus, most people who are even remotely in tune with their partner, tend to shave, or at least trim it. think about how much time this takes you.. not to mention, i think body hair is fucking nasty and id rather look smooth and sexy. thus, im willing to spend a substantial amount of money to save me time for the rest of my life. its a consideration issue, and a personal "body hair is disgusting, and i look way better without it" issue... NOT a "oh no!!!! what will my friends think of me" issue.

plus it makes my piercings look good. shrug.
