I am having IPL (laser) on my underarms atm - I would need to wax them every 4-6 weeks (I am dark and coarse) and bit the bullet & started getting IPL. I am onto my fourth session ($100 per session) & I think I would only need one more & then I am hair free under there. The good thing is that I can shave inbetween IPL sessions with no adverse affect to the IPL. I go every 7 weeks (sometimes longer) for the IPL.

I wax everywhere else, which includes - XX bikini, full leg, lip, eyebrow & half arm. I have to wax my bikini every 4 weeks, bottom half of leg & half arm 6-8 weeks, top half leg up 8-12 weeks (grows slower than the bottom). Lip & eyebrow I try to maintain as much as I can then I get it done the next time I am at the beauticians. Sometimes I wax my bottom half leg & half arm but I can't do my bikini or top legs myself - too hard.
