When we started looking into laser hair removal treatment, I am not going to lie– I was nervous. For years, we have talked about going in for a consultation, but the unknowns scared us off. We researched a few centers in the area and ultimately decided to book a free consult at Milan (https://milanlaser.com) Living 100 miles apart, Milan offered many locations (320+!) and it was apparent from our very first visit that they were the experts in their field. Our first consult was an in-depth discussion about the different areas that Milan is able to treat as well as the services they offer. Initially, we both were interested in our under arms, but later decided we were also interested in our bikini area. Being able to build a package based on the treatments we preferred was such a bonus. The treatment package options are endless.
Our first consult was full of information! We learned that we’d have to come in about every 5 weeks to start. Once you get a few treatments done, you may be able to go once every 10 weeks. They suggest around 10 sessions to become completely hair free but it can be a few more or less depending on each individual as hair growth cycles can vary based on hormones, age, genetics, etc.
Once we decided on the areas that we wanted to treat, we were able to have our first treatment that day. The bathrooms are equipped with razors, shaving gel, cream, basically everything that you need to shave it all off. (Prior to treatment you will need to shave the area that you want treated, but if you miss any spots they’re happy to help.) Our first few treatments were comfortable and it felt like you were being flicked with a rubber band. As the treatments increased every five weeks, the laser treatment definitely became spicier, but still manageable. For the two areas from start to finish it took about 15 minutes. It’s easy enough to make a quick appointment and even squeeze it in during your lunch break. Last week we had our seventh treatment on both our under arms and bikini area and are excited by the results.
Overall, we are very happy with our treatments and recommend Milan for laser hair removal. So happy in fact, that we just signed up to have our lower legs done too.
A few things to know:
- You must have clean, shaven areas prior to treatments (no deodorant, lotions, etc)
- You cannot have a tan on the treated areas (for us with underarms and bikini area, this was not an issue)
- All laser experts are trained medical professionals that are registered nurses (this made us feel more comfortable)
- Once you “buy” the body part, it’s for life. (If for some reason hair returns in 10 years, you’re still covered!)**
