How do you find a reputable laser place? How would I know if they were dodgy?

I just used google and made sure that it was a specialist doctor I was meeting with first. I think some of the places in shopping centres who do IPL etc are less 'good' and don't use doctors. Victorian cosmetic Institute is where I go - you could check their website for a start if you are not in Melbourne at least it would give you an idea

Yes I second the IPL. I got it lasered about 4 years ago and it worked pretty well but they could not seem to get that under the nose bit so I wax it myself. I second the "don't use strips". I bought a hot wax without strips to do my bikini area (I think it was a Nads one) and it was perfect for my mo.

i have always thought about IPL but never believed it worked . how much is it roughly for each session? (for lip) if anyone knows :P

Im not even menopausal yet and thanks to my south european ancestors I have quite an evident mo too! (I can't imagine what its gonna look like once i do hit menopause :P)
anyway, I wax it myself with the hot wax, it takes maybe 5 minutes, and if you do it regularly enough its not so painful to do. And then in between I just pluck out any strays!

The only thing that fills me with more dread than getting it waxed at the salon is the thought of going at it with hot wax myself!! It can only end in tears.

I've bought the nair stuff, will test it rigorously before applying to my face, and will make lasering plans once I've got a couple of months' run where I don't have appointments all over the place.

LOL, I will have to check them out. My mo has been irritating me for a while now! Since I went off the pill 3 years ago it has gotten worse (maybe the pcos getting all out of control?). How much did it cost??

I have been bleaching mine for years now and I'm tired of doing it!!

they are in Berwick, and it's $138 or something like that for Chin and upper Lip.... nurses are lovely (but of course ALL beautiful and full make up etc....) essentially it IS for beautiful people, but I never feel weird and out of place (becuase of course, I too am a beautiful person.... NOT!) check out their website anyway... the PCOS means it has taken longer than expected, and I still need to go back, without all the hormose stuff it essentially would only be 6 - 8 sessions (that's what they quoted... before I knew I had PCOS... ) anyway.... totally worth it!!
