I don’t particularly want my new profile to have that meth chic look.

    This is one of the reasons humans have to evolve past hair and become completely smooth. Fucking facial and body hair, I swear…

      I got laser hair removal all over my body* fifteen years ago. Best decision ever.

      *got rid of all body hair except for eyelashes, eyebrows, and the hair on top of my head.

        I’d like to but many people I’ve heard said it’s a procedure that needs to be repeated periodically, isn’t it?

          It was a 3-year process, one treatment every 3 months. And no exposure to the sun during those 3 years. But it was so long ago, I hardly remember, and ever since then I’ve been maintenance-free, and free to sunbathe to my heart’s content. No hair.

            I’ve been kind of considering doing something like that since I’ve grown to despise pretty much all my body hair. What do you mean no exposure to the sun? Is it just a case of “don’t stay in the sun unnecessarily” or straight up “turn into a vampire and avoid the sun at all costs”?

              They don’t want you to get a suntan or a sunburn during the course of treatment because it will affect the way the lasers react to your skin.

      Body hair has it’s uses. Keeping you from getting a cold (micro clima) and preventing skin irritations.
