Just got out, took 15 minutes and was virtually pain free except a few spots under chin nd middle of upper lip!

I avoided caffeine and took 1 Tylenol, drunk a ton of water. She used one of the cool tip lasers.

Yay! Glad it was a success! Any swelling or redness afterwards?

My step mother could see it looking at me, but it wasn't bad. It was like a ton of bumps, that went away in about 20 minutes.

I've found the best pain management for laser is electrolysis. It really puts things in perspective.

It appears that you are more fortunate than many in regards to pain with hair removal and any related issues.  Good for you!

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.
