Today I had my first laser treatment!

So my lovely esthetician gave me first laser treatment today!!!

It hurt so much, I thought I was going to die. The great thing is, the pain didn't last a second longer than the procedure! My face was a little bit red for about fifteen minutes, but no blistering or anything!

Did it hurt? Yes. Was it worth the pain? Absolutely. Would I do it again? I've already scheduled my next appointment.

Goodbye, beard!

I LOVE to hear these kinda things, I really do!

Why?

Cuz I'm about ready to start looking for a laser place to get mine zapped soon, too.

It would have to hurt a terribly horrid amount to discourage me from getting rid of the nasty stuff, lol..

Thanks for the info, please let us know how well it worked..

Thanks! Svenna

Good to hear. You will love it when you can say the beard shadow is gone! :)

About pain control. Tylenol extra strength and Emla cream.

My tech gives me an ice pack to put on my face after my treatment. I usually go through two of them before she gives me the okay. Then I put aloe on the treated areas. Aloe that's been in the fridge over night feels especially nice.

Great news, Nova! I'm happy for you, well, for the progress, not necessarily the pain.

I can tell you that the increased self confidence it gave me to get rid of my beard shadow made a world of difference. You're going to love having a smooth face. :D

The ice packs work well, and my center put a lotion on my face right after that cooled and moisterized it. I got a jar to take home, too, and put on 2-3 times a day. Expensive stuff, but worth it. One thing to look out for, especially at the beginning, is foliculitis. It's nasty and embarassing. The lotion helped with that.

I can't wait to remove my facial hair. Unfortunately I'm years away from that due to location and finances even though I go full time next month. :(

      Good morning   @Ashley0616. So glad it wasn’t worse.  I did something similar when I was maybe 8. I was playing outside barefoot and stepped on a piece of broken glass. My mother zoomed into action when I told her.     @awkward-yet-sweet welcome back to the working world. Mental work is just as tiring as physical but both feel good.  It’s a different kind of tired when you wake up.   @Birdie what a beautiful young woman you were.   i made a pot since it’s Sunday. Last time for a while I’ll be grinding beans.  Somehow I messed up and bought already ground the last time.  I know I was in a bit of a rush at the time.  That just doesn’t pay.  Slow down and take the time to read the package.     at least we can use this up making single cups too.  We have a replacement for the pod holder that allows you to use ground coffee or tea leaves. I suppose herbs could be used if that’s your thing but it’s never been this girl’s.  (Like I said too conservative and goody two shoes)   Well here I sit in my sleep sweatshirt from Buc-ee’s while the dog is signaling she would like to go out.   i suppose I should finish up and get ready for the day.  And a nice one it will be. Mostly sunny high of 76.  I should go sit by the pool this afternoon.   Willow

      Tension is not a well-understood psychological state. It can be both positive and negative, much like stress itself. A 2015 research paper on the theoretical framework of tension notes it's an anticipatory emotional state which tends to be associated with: conflict.

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.

      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>
