LHE Permanent Hair Removal

Has anyone tried it? Is it safe? Does it work? Most importantly, does it hurt?

This is what it says on the Beauty Above website: "LHE stands for 'Light, Heat Energy' and is the latest technology in light based systems. As with all Laser and IPL Photo-epilation systems on the market it works on the same principle of Selective Photo Thermology, however, the LHE System goes one step further and utilises both light and heat energy simultaneously in order to achieve maximum efficiency."

What is it like? How do they do it? I know that there is a brief description in the first post, but what is it really like?

Well I got it done on my back and shoulders. It's most effective on dark hairs with pale skin. It depends what type of laser they use. Depending on the preference of the person doing it you'll either have this cold jelly smeared on you and a pulsing thing that resembles an ultrasound detector rubbed back and forth. That one feels like little electric shocks, only small snap ones though. Not really uncomfortable.

The one used mostly on me required no gel. It was a laser that pulsed directly onto the skin from a few cm away and then this special hoover to suck up the smoke and smell of singed hair. If your skin is pale it wont burn it at all.. They can increase or decrease the intensity depending on your comfort levels. When I first went in I couldnt even feel it and asked them to turn it up.
When it "catches a hair", as in it burns right down at the root (which is what you're aiming for) it does sting a little. But it's not too bad like. I wouldn't compare it to getting a tattoo, piercing or injection, all of which hurt a lot more. Its more of a snap pain. It feels warm afterwards and it's a good idea to put moisturiser on. Also the shorter the hairs the better it works, so trim.

All in all for me it's very very much been worth it.

Thank you. Would it still work if you shaved the area rather than trim, say for somewhere like underarms.

Yeah but don't shave 3-4 days before you go in. As in the hair does need to be a couple millimetres above the skin.
