A few years ago, I started noticing a few stray black hairs on my chin and neck. No big deal…l just started plucking them with tweezers. As time went on, those ‘few hairs’ multiplied to several. In fact, there were so many I sometimes felt as if I had a “man’s beard”. My self-confidence was extremely affected. I continued to use tweezers to remove the hairs but started developing obstacles. Many times the hairs would become ingrown or I would experience some bleeding when I removed them with tweezers. It became a weekly cycle for me. Sunday afternoons, I would disappear to the bathroom for 2-3 hours to stand in front of the magnifying mirror to start plucking the hair. lnevitably, l missed some or just simply could not get them removed because they were ingrown. When the plucking was complete, I would grab the shaving cream and a razor and try to shave away those that remained. What was left? An extremely red, irritated neck and chin that was sore to touch and not very pleasing to see. I would continue to shave the area the other days of the week and tried to hide the redness and irritation with makeup. At work, I would be sure to keep a safe distance when talking with anyone so hopefully they wouldn’t see my neck and chin. When Friday evening arrived, I began my time of seclusion. I tried to never leave home on Friday, Saturday or Sunday in order to give the hair time to grow so that I could start plucking them again on Sunday afternoon. Finally, enough was enough. My life was being affected and it was time to try another option. I began an internet search for a local business that offered laser hair removal. That’s when I came across Alex-Alexa. From day one, I felt extremely comfortable. Donna provided a full consultation and explanation of what l could expect. She earned my trust and that was extremely important as she was about to see something that I had spent so much time trying to hide. My first treatment was painful and I seriously wondered if it was worth it. But, when I started to notice the hair falling out I knew I had to keep trying. I continued to receive the treatments every 4-6 weeks and by the time I had the last one in the series, I was amazed. Each treatment hurt less as time went on and I had much less hair growth each time I went. Donna was there with me every step of the way and her encouragement helped to keep me coming back. Now, two years later, l would consider myself to be nearly ‘hair-free’. I continue to have touch-up treatments twice a year. There is nearly no re-growth at all and the treatment is pain free. I will continue to do the touch-ups as long as I can because I never want to go back to where I was a few years ago. Laser hair removal is amazing and the staff at Alex-Alexa is the nicest around. They make you feel comfortable and make showing something so personal a lot easier to do. Thank you Alex-Alexa!
