So laser will actually remove hair, not just make it lighter/thinner? Might have to get an ipl then. For some reason I thought that would make electro harder.

I would advise against using an ipl unit on one’s face, but otherwise go for it! I had good results using mine before going all out on laser. A few laser sessions will also make your hair thinner, but not lighter. Remaining vellus hairs after laser treatment are white, and not particularly visible.

Why would you not use it on your face? Will it scar/do permanent damage, or would it just hurt worse? Obviously if it'll do permanent harm I won't but :kitty-cri: god damn I hate my facial hair.

But that's good to know, I'll definitely look into getting one then. Even if I can't use it on my face there's a lot more of me.

IPL is useless for facial hair because the roots are in too deep there. IPL can work well on your legs, belly etc., but face and back hair need an actual laser for permanent results

:/ that's unfortunate. Probably going to need to go somewhere then. Thankfully I don't really have any back hair so that's something at least.
