I had it done about 4 years ago at the Australian Laser Clinic and it was so professionally done. I had three treatments on my bikini and at the last one was told that another one would be needed to kill the last lot of follicles, but that it wasn't imperative to come back in a time frame because the hard work had been done. I had loads of hair, but it's dark against lighter skin (not white, but not completely olive either, cos I'd just come out of winter!). Treatments were about $230 each and they did the whole general area, leaving what would be called a normal map of tassie - great compared to what it was! Now I can leave it for months before getting a wax done to tidy up, but unlike the bad old days, I know I can jump into a swimsuit and go to the pool with hairy legs and armpits, but no bush growing from my bikini bottoms!
My sister had the whole lot done. The idea of a lasered brazilian doesn't appeal to me at all, and even less so to DP, so I'm glad I chose to keep hair, cos I did it before I met DP!
I do still want to get my underarms done, as well as that last treatment.
