Don't expect this to be a fast process. It will take 1.5 years to complete 6 treatments. My first treatment was in June 2006. Now I have had 5 treatments and my 6th one will be in December 2007! I was told that since my skin is not pale white and that I must pay an extra $400 for the YAG laser. I am not black, hispanic, or dark skinnned. I am simply the average caucasion person. I went in there expecting to pay only $500 more or less to have the brazilian bikini laser hair removal treatment. When I arrived they told me that I must pay another $400 because my skin color required the YAG laser. Well...that was a waste of $400 because they only used the YAG laser on me the first treatment and after that...they used the normal laser. A friend of mine and I was going together and having the procedure done at the same time. She was not charged the extra $400 for the YAG laser. She only had to pay the going rate of $500 at that time. Her skin color was not much different than mine. Now I am going for my 6th treatment which is ""free"" but if I need any more treatments in the future...I was told that I must pay a percentage of the going rate. They advertise ""Lifetime"" gurantee but how can that be if they are charging clients after the 6th treatment? I was under the impression that all I had to pay was the initial price and the treatments were guranteed.
Pros: No waxing or shaving.
Cons: YAG laser is a waste of money. After the 6th treatment you must pay!
