laser hair removal
Posted By: laser on 2006-05-01
In Reply to: I have about 20 little hairs to remove. About how much - would that cost? nm
We have spent thousands and I mean thousands of dollars on laser hair removal for my daughter and it would work for about a couple of months and then the hair would grow back worse than ever. We have tried three different lasers and no one gives you a guarantee - so if they try to - don't buy it - read the small print before you sign. I know it is a frustrating situation - it also hurts. Electrolysis didn't work for her either, and she stays upset about this all the time.

Laser hair removal. Has anyone tried laser hair removal on their face and if so, did it work?

Laser Hair Removal (for dark hair)
I've tried Epilators (basically an electronic tweezer) and wax, but nothing beats Laser HR. It's a bit pricy and takes a few treatments to be 100% effective, but definitely works.
Laser hair removal?
Anybody ever gotten it before? I'm seriously considering it for my upper lip (and maybe chin where there are a few isolated hairs).
I've had electrolysis before, but never saw any improvement over months and months (and lots of $). Even though laser is expensive, I think it'll come out the same or cheaper than electrolysis. And electrolysis was very painful! This is supposed to be a bit painful, but not so bad.
Please share IF you've had laser. What area of the body? How long did it take? Has it been permanent for you?
thanks!
Laser Hair Removal
I have spent thousands of dollars on this for my daughter - three different types of lasers and the problem is still there - and at one point even got worse. Be certain that you aren't having a hormonal problem and that you are not part of an ethnic group where women naturally have more hair - it didn't work for my daughter.
Laser hair removal is not permanent....nm

hair removal
Hello,
I just went to Sally's Beauty Supply and they now carry a line of products that should help you.
I used to get some really good stuff from Europe, but now its no longer available unless you go to a doctor. They must have patented and bought it to make money! Go to Sally's!
I went twice for hair removal on face....nm
facial hair removal
Electrolysis.
best product for facial hair removal?
What is the best product for removal upper lip hair? I have tried Sally Hansen but not much luck. I have not tried bleaching yet because I really would prefer to have it gone! Before I spend more money, can you tell me what works for you? Thanks much.

How does one remove full name from posting??????
Laser printerG
Go to HP home page and see what they have and then go to Office Depot or Office Max. Mine cost several thousands but I needed the speed, etc. But I think that there are several that are under $500. Too bad we don't live close by I have an old 4P that is a work horse that is just sitting here but I needed the triple drawers and capabilty to do envelopes and so it sits here.
Good luck.
Anyone tried the new laser mouses?
I'd consider them worth the money if they work. 100.00 here in California.
Jerking my left arm around trying to get from one window to the next has given me a most painful left arm. Can only think that it is from being tense while typing (stressful job we have; didn't use to be this way) and then moving my arm suddenly and quickly to maneuver. Tennis elbow is what it feels like but now the shoulder and entire bone aches like it was involved in a horrible injury. I hope this isn't part of growing old (47).
Inkjet or laser?
I have a HP all-in-one that I use for printing and for a fax. I do not print the office notes, but the doctors fax me patient lists and copies of notes for which they want changes made or corrections. I think if I printed office notes my ink cartridge expense would be a whole lot more than the figures you quoted.
Laser - large HP
I have a large HP, three drawer laser printer and I go through 500 sheets of chart note paper, probably another 400 to 600 for consults and letters per month and probably 200 envelopes per week and I seriously use only at the maximum of 3 toners per year and they are $110 per toner recycled. My printer gets 10,000 to 15,000 copies per toner so about every three to four months I get one. I spend more on the chart paper than I do the toners. But that is all figured into my cpl.
laser printer
I think it's because it's a laser printer. Laser printers work much like copiers in that they heat the paper to seal the ink onto the page. Sticky paper hates laser printers. Do you have options as to where you purchase the paper? Maybe look at the manufacturer's web site to see if they have a type that works with laser printers. If they don't then you are looking at either dealing with feeding the paper in one at a time and keeping the laser printer or trading it in back for another ink jet. Different ink jets use ink at different rates so you can compare and see which would be the most economical for what you do.
Laser Kat, she is not going to listen . sm
Just another whiny MT who thinks its all about them.
The ones that wont' work just leave more work for the rest who are looking for jobs and want to work.
Here are the removal instructions..
You can download a utility here to remove it from here:

If it doesn't work, let me know and I will tell you a manual procedure to get it removed.
Need Laser printer recommendations
I may need to purchase a laser printer as the SOAP sheets that the office I work for sends to me are jamming in my HP ink jet printer. It has to be due to the writing that is being done on these SOAP sheet pages at the top where they fill in pertinent patient info, i.e., name of pt, vitals signs, birth control, etc., as well as how much the paper is being handled, shuffled, corners getting bent, etc.
I have a new ink jet printer and have always had a problem with these sheets in every ink jet printer I have owned but my newest (and nicest printer thus far) it is happening more than ever before. It is very frustrating and time consuming to deal with this.
I was told that laser printers do not cause this problem as they utilize a different mechanism in printing. So, I may need to purchase a laser printer but would like some recommendations. I cannot afford a lot. I am hoping if I have to do this I can find a good one for around $400. I would appreciate your suggestions.
Thanks so much.
Laser jet not ink jet printer - more economical
I have a laser jet printer and though the ink is expensive at 100 a cartridge, it lasts me for six to eight months and I do printing for all of my five accounts. My printer was top of the line over ten years ago and I just got a new HP color laser jet for $899 but they end up paying for themselves by not going through as much ink as a ink jet. For one of my accounts I do the letterhead on the paper. Have done that many times for many accounts. I incorporate it into the price. I supply paper, sticky paper also. Two accounts supply their letterhead and I provide second sheets. My friend has an inj jet and constanly complains about the amount of ink she goes through. It is all a cost of business. But if this is something new, she should put on a $10 charge per month depending on how many letters she is doing. I probably print off 400 sheets per week.
adware removal site
You can download Ad-Aware SE Personal for free. It works pretty well for me, but make sure it's Ad-Aware and not Ad-Ware. Ad-Ware is BAAAD ! 
Ovarian cyst removal - has anyone gone through this? - sm
Any of you ever had to have an ovarian cyst removed? I'm told I need to have a left ovary cyst removed, along with the left ovary. If anyone has been through this, I am interested in what to expect recovery wise? It is a simple process where you are up and about within a day or so? I can't afford to be out of work more than a day or so, so I am a little worried. Any advice? Thanks!
Surgical removal of a baby????
I had that one yesterday and thought how strange to work delivery that way. If you ever work on Escription you will get a lot of laughs - it is voice recognition and I have had a ROS that said the man came in through the garage until the cat fell from the sky - have no idea what that was supposed to mean.
Laser treatments are coming down in price...sm
The facial treatments are the least expensive from what I've found in my reasearch, simply because it's a small area. Over the course of time, permanent laser TX wouldn't be any mroe expensive than constant, continued waxing, etc.
I have the MS 6000 wireless laser keyboard...sm
And I love it! I used the split ergonomic keyboards (new one about every 6 months!) for the last 10+ years, but this thing is great. Your reach isn't nearly as long as it is with the split ergonomic and my speed has increased on it. It came with the wireless mouse, but I use a trackball so it just got shunted aside.
I looked at the 4000, but the "insert" key is in some weird place and I use that a lot. It's in the normal place on the 6000 with the delete key underneath it.
My best friend also bought the 6000, going from the split ergonomic, and loves it too. She can't get over how much her speed has increased.
It doesn't clack, though!!
And I too type with my keyboard in my lap, bought a lapdesk off ebay for about $25. My chair has arms and a bunch of different adjustments for back, neck, etc. It came from Office Depot for about $200.

Can they go back in and re-laser imperfections? My parents get their blurring and blips

i have telangiectasia on face. laser treatment - very painful...but works
what could be more unsightly that broken veins on the face? well, lucky me, i have them. eveyr few years go in for treatment. electrical zaps to destroy broken blood vessel. Hurts like the dickens though. Can't use pain relievers because it causes constriction of blood vessels, they told me.
HA, that was so cute; i've heard of it to - removal from rectum seriously, no joke...nm

Hair
Just be careful about mentioning Wal Mart. It has kind of been a bad word lately on the boards. I do not shop there a lot because my husband is a firefighter in the union but I do not blame people for shopping there because we do have to eat.
Cause I like my hair!
Worked in advertising for over 8 years as a commercial producer, and it (my hair) had started falling out!! Got burned out fast! Also, this field was more conducive to raising children - no travel and I was home for them!
Hair......
Thanks everyone for all your replies! So much good advice - I'll sleep on it and think it all over.
hair
I got a wild hair last week and went and had my hair cut really super shirt in a chic style, so hair blowing in my face won't be a problem. I am so psyched and ready to go buy the convertible. Hopefully by Monday, I'll have it! :)
hair cut
I paid 24.99 the other day + a $5 tip at Fantastic Sams - shampoo/haircut/style. That was last week. The cut was terrible, so I asked for a redo by another stylist - she did a great job - so I gave her a $5 tip - so in all - that would be $34.99. I always go to the beauty college to have my hair highlighted - $30 bucks - $13 for a machine facial and $15 for a back treatment - both better than a massage - being cocooned up in those warm blankets. Great.
bad hair
You are hysterical, Belle! Thank heavens I have short hair or I'd never answer the door!
LOL!!! Me too, except for the hair.
but all these things are kept hidden when working. You'll only see them when I'm not working.
I'm sorry too, hair-ball

no hair left
i hate to tell you but it doesn't get any better. been with them for over 3 years -- i still have my hair, but have lost my sanity!!
dumb as a bag of hair (No, I don't get it either!)

Hair color
I use Balsam (its a greenish box), the cheapest I've found, about 2.97 at WalMart. I use it every 3-4 weeks, and it covers as well (sometimes better) than the salon colors do. I'm a big believer in pampering myself, and TRY to do it often (lately, I've been failing miserably LOL).
The first time or two you might have to just see if it works, and it might take a couple of times (no matter which color or which brand) to completely cover. If you want a 'frosted' look, get a frosting cap and add color to the pulled through hair, makes a great effect. If you don't like it, just color over it :)
I always do OTC hair color.
Colorsilk works really well for me, I like all the Loreal products best. Someone else mentioned Balsom or something (greenish box), this made my hair feel like straw. That shows you that different things work for different people. If you decide to try it yourself, do the pre-testing to make sure it will work for you. That way you don't end up with a whole ruined head of hair. Just clip a small lock from somewhere where it won't be noticed and test first to make sure. Best of luck.
Hair products...
I remember hearing a rumor that Prell or Pert would turn your hair green. I'm a brunette, never happened. Also, what ever happened to "creme/cream rinse"? That's what it was called in the 80's. In my Aqua Net days, I could make my bangs stand up about 2 inches, my best girlfriend's bangs were 4 inches high! Wow! I love this. Let's keep going.
Do whatever you want, - maybe a flower in your hair? but you don't have to have anything

i hate my hair !!!
I have made notes on all these products - I'll keep trying them until something works ! Thanks again.
No surgery...it's the hair
Believe me...my hard drive is loaded with pictures of Clay. I've seen him in concert multiple times...many times right up there in the first couple of rows. I've got every performance, every appearance downloaded on my computer. I've looked at the face a thousand times or more. Plus, believe me, he'd have a hard time hiding plastic surgery from the Claymates. It's the same face...the same nose..the same ears...the same eyes. It's the longer darker hair, down over his forehead like we've never seen it, that makes him look different....and that's had me not working and needing a cold shower all day. I loved him before (can you tell  )....but man, he's got me going even worse with this new look.
hair cut prices
Just curious, how much do you pay for a hair cut and how long does it take? My stylist just raised her prices quite a bit and without notice. I'm sure it varies quite a bit. I live in the Midwest (small town) and now pay 12 bucks. What do you pay?
hair cut prices
I live in the Southeast as well and would love to find someone for $12! My stylist is $45 for wash, HC, blowdry. It takes 45 minutes to an hour.
Hair cut/prices
Well after going to high priced hair salons and paying 30-50/cut/blow dry. I found a great stylist at yes - SuperCuts, costs me 15.00 cut/blow dry and she actually cuts my hair the way I want it instead of the way she wants, and it is only 5 minutes away from my house and I call ahead and make an appointment with her, so I am very happy. I have tried so many different places and now color my own hair with Loreal Preference and get my hair cut at SuperCuts and it works for me. Guess you just have to find the right person to style/cut your hair to your liking.
Is that like hair and nails?
I was trying to figure out what aesthetics is and it looks like cosmetology or doing hair and nails. Is that right?
Pulled my hair out over this one
Waddle sigh . . . . . vital signs!!!
facial hair
I never had any facial hair until my doggie tore part of my top lip almost off; after the stitches came out and my lip scarred, suddenly i have a lot of fuzz around it. Drives me nuts!
