I started laser hair removal on my underarms and calves; I should have done this sooner.

📌 1. Visited Branch: "Maypure Bucheon Branch"

Summer is over, but my war against body hair is an ongoing battle throughout all four seasons. Since my hair is naturally thick and abundant, I used to shave or wax regularly at home. However, constantly shaving irritated my skin, causing it to turn red and even lead to folliculitis. On top of that, the stress from ingrown hairs was so severe that I finally decided to get laser hair removal, the surest solution.

I heard that since laser hair removal requires consistent monthly visits, it is best to choose a location that is definitely close to home or work. So, I booked an appointment at the Maypure Bucheon branch near Bucheon Station and visited. The clinic is huge and has a stylish interior, so I was able to wait comfortably. The staff handled everything efficiently, from confirming my appointment to storing my belongings and the consultation, so I felt that the process was very well-organized.

I spoke with the consultation manager first and then saw the director. He told me that laser hair removal is the perfect recommendation for people like me with thick hair and damaged skin from frequent shaving. He explained that because it selectively destroys only the melanin pigment in the hair follicles, there is no damage to the surrounding skin, and that with consistent treatments, I could experience a whole new world where hair barely grows back. I was incredibly excited!

I went into the treatment room, changed into a tank top and shorts, and lay down, feeling strangely nervous. But once the laser hair removal machine actually touched my skin, a cool breeze came out along with it, so I barely felt any heat or pain! It stung a little on my calves where the hair is thicker, but it was definitely bearable. I had both my underarms and calves done, and the procedure only took about 10 minutes—it was incredibly short—so I realized it would be perfect to squeeze in a visit during a break after work.

I’ve completed my second laser hair removal session so far, and the rate at which my hair grows back has already slowed down noticeably. Before, after just two days, hairs would prickle up like pencil lead and look unsightly, but now, even after a week, they grow back thin, downy hair. Considering how much time I wasted and how much cuts I used to get from shaving every time I showered, laser hair removal is truly the best purchase I’ve ever made—not a single penny wasted! Haha. I heard that if you complete the full recommended 5 to 10 sessions, your skin becomes really fair and smooth, so I plan to keep visiting the Bucheon branch diligently. If you find frequent shaving a hassle, you absolutely must start laser hair removal!
