I started laser hair removal service in 2005 starting with underarms and eventually opted for full legs. I did the breakeven analysis on expensive razor blades with the cost of service and it definitely was worthwhile. When I first bought my package, ALC had a great guarantee that you could keep coming until you had full hair loss. They have revised that policy so now I think you only get 2 years of service and then you have to pay for maintenance service which I think is lame.\n\nFirst of all, let me say that not everyone is a candidate; if you have dark skin or light hair, you will not see great results because the laser is attracted to pigment. but I thought I'd be a good candidate because I'm super pale and have darkish hair on my lower legs and underarms at least (I probably should have skipped thighs as they have fine blonde hairs). I saw mixed results. My underarms didn't work well at all- maybe 30% reduction and I had 4 years of treatment. Lower legs did much better- more like 90% reduction but I do still have to shave. Upper leg area, not so much. 10%?  Back when the economy was booming it was impossible to get appointments on weekends/evenings if you work, so sometimes that would space out my appointments longer then expected which could have contributed to less hair loss. It really annoys me when I see stay at home moms steal Saturday appointments. I guess it's nice they have any weekend appointments because that wouldn't have been an option with say a dermatologist.\n\nMy other complaint is that the company does not treat their employees very well, so there is very high turnover. That's a bad thing when you're doing very personal service where you're hanging with this person for an hour in your bra and undies (or less). Ideally when you've got your junk hangin' out, you'd like to have the same person you have a good rapport and trust level with. But I probably had 10 or so technicians during my time.
