No more hassle of shaving every day! I finally started laser hair removal.
📌 1. Visited Branch: "Maypure Gimpo Janggi Branch"
I tend to have a lot of thick body hair, so managing it regularly was a huge source of stress for me. Shaving with a razor every time I showered irritated my skin, causing redness, breakouts, and even hyperpigmentation, making my legs look really messy. I even tried waxing, but dealing with ingrown hairs was too much of a hassle, so I finally decided to embrace modern technology!
I was scouring online communities looking for a good place near my house in Gimpo Janggi, and since the reviews for Maypure Gimpo Janggi were good, I visited right away haha. What I liked most was being able to receive the treatment privately in a pleasant and clean facility.
During my consultation with the director, we checked my hair thickness and skin condition. They told me that for those with thick hair like mine, laser hair removal is much safer and more effective than regular home care. I was also relieved to hear that I don't need to worry too much about pain because the laser machine is equipped with a built-in cooling function.
I shaved the treatment area the day before, and when they applied the cold gel and shot the laser, it was really just cold and slightly stinging. Compared to the living hell of pain I went through when waxing, this was really nothing. I think it didn't even take 15 minutes to do both underarms and calves. I was actually surprised that it finished so quickly.
They explained that usually, a single session isn't enough to remove all the hair, and that you need to receive at least 5 recommended laser hair removal sessions at 4 to 5-week intervals, aligned with the hair growth cycle, to make the hair as thin as downy fluff and significantly reduce its density. So, to be on the safe side, I just went ahead and signed up for the 5-session package.
It's been about two weeks since my first session, and the hair growth has slowed down noticeably and started to grow back sparse, which is so fascinating haha. I'm going to make sure to complete all the remaining recommended sessions so I can confidently wear short sleeves and shorts! If you find shaving every day a hassle or are worried about damaging your skin, laser hair removal is a life-saving treatment that really takes your quality of life to the heavens, so I highly recommend it!
