Has anyone had any experience with laser hair removal?

Want to try, but don't want to waste the money or time if this does not work...

I had laser hair removal about 15 years ago as a 40th b'day present to myself, focusing on facial hair.  It worked well, though it took more treatments than I'd expected. The problem is that it works only on dark hair.  If you have any white or possibly light blonde hairs, there was no change.  Annoying but true.

yes, it was more expensive (even with their "sale") for a package and I was not pleased with the results.  I've now spent my time and $ on electrology hair removal with a specialist and am very pleased with the results.  She has told me that she gets ALOT of customers that have been displeased with laser results.  maybe the laser has not been quite perfected yet.  I, also, was very apprehensive about the laser on my face wondering what might happen if the hairs were "nuked" on too high of an intensity...possible permanent skin disfiguration....which is the reason that the laser people get you to practically sign your life away before they start treatments.   If you would like more detailed info, please email me at gardens203@comcast.net

Yes!  It's expensive, it doesn't feel good but it works.  Get numbing solution first and let it sit for 15-30 minutes prior to treatment.  That reminds me...

It has cut way down on the tweezing.  Worth it to me.  No scarring.  As each new generation of dark hairs grow, they have to be zapped.  Not all hairs grow at once.  Good luck if you do it!

Had the painless lazer done about 6 months ago. Had worked well, but can see that I will need touch ups at some point. I had my underarms and bikini done.

Well worth it!!!
