Completely Bare Review: Round Two Back and Ready to Bare It All!

Are you ready for swimsuit season?

I don’t mean your body, I mean your bikini line and underarms?

As y’all know, I’m in the midst of laser hair removal process at Completely Bare Spa in New York City! (Click HERE to read about my first visit). I went back today for round two today and have a few questions and comments since my initial visit.

First of all even after one treatment I’d say there has been about a 90% reduction in hair growth under my arms, which of course is amazing. I know I need to continue the treatments to ensure it’s permanent but it’s been amazing. I seriously have no stubble whatsoever under my arms except for the few patches that remain…and this is only after one treatment.

In the rough: After my first treatment I wasn’t aware (or had forgotten) that the hair that remains from the laser treatment under the skin eventually comes up and is kind of initially impossible to get rid of. It’s kinda crazy, like you can run a razor over it and it won’t go anywhere. After a few days it did but it was kind of weird. I asked my fabu associate today at CBS and she said that it’s because the hair is singed so it makes it difficult to remove until it’s ready. She told me to wait at least a few days before attempting to shave and then it’ll just come out easily.

Good news: It came out a few days later and once it came out it did NOT return!

Bikini Babes!! I received several emails asking about my experience with Completely Bare vs. my doctor’s (older) laser and what the difference was as far as pain and results went on my bikini line. So CBS was kind enough to do some bikini touch-ups so I’ll be able to tell you if their treatments are going to be more effective at removing those last stubborn hairs that remain. I don’t know what the results are yet, obv, but the pain on a scale of 1-10 was maybe a 2.5. It hurt so so so much less than even a bikini wax. I couldn’t even believe it. So then I went to look at prices because I was thinking jeez, I used to pay nearly $70 for a wax and it only lasted a few weeks. Laser Hair removal for regular bikini is only $220 per session–but it’s permanent. And also, it’s buy 5 get the 6th free which means it’s only like paying $200 per session. I know it may be hard to front the cash up front, but if you can this is definitely more economical than waxing for your whole life. Just my two cents…your two hundred dollars!
