Laser hair removal
Discussion
Ha-ha had to laugh as whilst entirely inappropriate and absolutely no help I once heard when I worked in an office there girls / ladies from Aberdeen sans hair below are called "Piper babes" .... from said sad hair removing event 30 years ago.
All I'd say in a worst "I've an ex that has gone bald down there" post ever is make sure that if she pays big money it is permanent and there is a follow up period (12 months or so) where any "strays" (and even more important, infected / ingrown) can be removed and if it costs less than £1200 over six sessions it probably won't be permanent (based on experience of removal of a small to mid sized panty garden, moderate to full bushiness, sort of a John Cleese moustache level to begin with around the front, trending to Tracy Emin upper lip shadow around the back).
Oh and don't be planning any funny business in the day or two after the shearing / lasering, might be a bit out of bounds.

Hi all,
My other half is considering having some hair removal treatment on her nether regions.
Does anyone have any recommendations on what to do / what not to do? If there's any first hand experiences of places in or around Aberdeen that would be ideal.

You can buy your own er, devices and get busy, it's a lot cheaper.
My Mrs owns her own aesthetics clinic. She currently doesn't have a laser for hair removal, but when she had one, she did my back and shoulders for me.
From experience, I can say that It hurts! It doesn't hurt enough to dread having it done or anything, but as the machine pulses, it feels like sparks hitting the skin which for reasons unknown, I seem to be able to really tune in to and find it uncomfortable. The process is that they'll ask the person to shave first then they hit it with the laser.
As hair grows in cycles, repeat visits are necessary to ensure new growth, eg hair that wasn't there before, also gets hit by the laser.
I obviously didn't pay for any treatments and as I'm not very hairy, I'd be reluctant to pay the fairly expensive fee for around 6 sessions or so required to do the job. If I was really hairy then it would be well worth the expense.

I tried laser air removal, and I would say that the results are impressive. The most important thing that the effect of laser epilation is permanent. However, it is not suitable for all skin types. I wanted to do this procedure in a saloon, but it was expensive, and you need to repeat it a few times before the result will remain permanent. Instead of going to the beauty salon, I ordered one laser hair removal machine on http://www.showcharm.net It helped to save a lot of money, and still, the result is the same as from visiting a beauty salon. So it is up to you, you can go to the beauty salon, but I recommend not wasting your money there.
