Does anyone here know about or has had an experience with laser hair removal?

For those of us who don't like hair. Does laser remove hair well? How much does it usually cost and how permanent is it? Seems like it would be worth the investment if its permanent.

Hair Poem - George Carlin


I'm aware some stare at my hair.
In fact, to be fair,
Some really despair of my hair.
But I don't care,
Cause they're not aware,
Nor are they devonaire.
In fact, they're just square.

They see hair down to there,
Say, "Beware" and go off on a tear!
I say, "No fair!"
A head that's bare is really nowhere.
So be like a bear, be fair with your hair!
Show it you care.
Wear it to there.
Or to there.
Or to there, if you dare!

My wife bought some hair at a fair, to use as a spare.
Did I care?
Au contraire!
Spare hair is fair!
In fact, hair can be rare.
Fred Astair got no hair,
Nor does a chair,
Nor nor a chocolate eclair,
And where is the hair on a pear?
Nowhere, mon frere!

So now that I've shared this affair of the hair,
I'm going to repair to my lair and use Nair, do you care?

I'm actually undergoing treatments currently. It works best on Fair Skinned clients with dark hair. I've just had my 4th of 6-8 treatments and it's working well. Most noticeable improvement was after treatment 2. For the area im getting done.. its $100cdn a session. It hurts a bit (definitely not pain free). But overall I'd do it again.

Edit: Also it's not 'permanent', atleast it's not guaranteed. They say the hair can grow back within 6 months to 2 years afterwards. But it will definitely be less than what was there originally.

Are you sure that was George Carlin? Sounds more like Dr. Seuss.

Yup, it's him alright.
