Now, as for the lazer hair removal, I'm in the process of having it done to my upper lip. I'm a little confused because they said it should take about 6 treatments, and I'm going on a year and a half now! The hair is lighter and all, but it sure isn't disappearing like they told me it would. I'll just keep going back though. I paid to have it removed and I'm not stopping my visits until it's all gone - for good! I had always trimmed it, but one of my biggest fears was that I would be an old lady in a nursing home - unable to trim my mustache so it wouldn't get done. I, too, would say that it doesn't hurt. The rubber band snap is a good description, but that's only when they don't put enough of that gel stuff on. Just add a bit more of that and no problem.
The upper lip takes longer, for some reason. I've noticed that too. I've been going since August 2003.......so about 10 months now. Most of the hair is gone, and the upper lip is probably 60% gone, but it seems that I'll need quite a few more appointments for it. Its ok though.......every appointment after the 5th is free....so I will keep going until every bit of hair is gone. I'm guessing I'll need about 4 more appointments.
