My First Ever Laser Hair Removal Treatment

A couple months ago, I bought a Goupon for six laser hair removal treatments(underarms) from Skin Spa for just $179. It was such a good deal that i couldn't resist myself from not buying it. Comparing to the amount my friend Ruby paid in a VERY high class spa center for the exact same treatment, $179 is only around 20% of what she paid. I'm not a person that needs everything in high quality and high class so im totally okay with $179. 

I wanted to do it months ago because the thing about laser hair removal treatment is that i can't do one treatment right after another. I need to wait at least four weeks before doing another treatment. So it will take 24 months to complete all six treatments >.> 6 months!!!!! but I had been soooo lazy that i didn't even bother picking up my phone and call for an appointment. >.< But finally yesterday, while i was doing nothing but just sitting in my room, decided to make an appointment for today at 11:30am. =.= *Sigh* I really should've done it months ago, if only i wasn't so busy with school work >.< (<=====EXCUSE!!)

So back to my first treatment:

Skin Spa has 5 locations in NYC and the one i went to is in SoHo. It was actually my first time going to a spa center i think. It smelled so nice in there and everything looked super white and clean, just like how i would imagine what a spa center looks like.

The  beautiful receptionist gave me 3 forms to fill out and as soon as i turned in the forms, my specialist was already waiting next to the counter for me. She took me into a room with machines and a bed.

Okay, i hate writing down every step so I'll just tell you how i felt about it.

I DON"T WANT TO DO IT AGAIN!!! IT HURT SOOOOO MUCH!!!

Imagine a lady pinching your armpits with needles!!! It was exactly how that would feel!!! I almost fainted out when the specialist told me that she had the laser's setting at the lowest because it was my first time. She will increase the laser setting as treatment continues on. Oh God.

Even though it was just around 30 seconds for each armpit but....30 seconds felt soooo long when it felt like my armpits were being pinched with needles T____T

Conclusion: 美丽是要付出代价的 There's a price to pay for beauty.


My friend Tina (I refer her as an expert in cosmetic and skin care) gave me three masks to try XD:

Tips from Tina:
As for the sheet's thickness, FaceQ(绝世美肌) is the thinnest comparing to My Beauty Dairy and My Scheming(我的心机)。 The prices for all three brands are about the same btw. Tina also told me not to buy the one on the left because it's soooo sticky. but she gave it to me to try just so i know what it will be like. Thanks Tina.
