For me, dealing with unwanted facial hair took up a significant part of my life. I spent over 20 years bleaching, waxing, and plucking my upper lip—I thought I'd tried everything. No matter what, I always ended up with ingrown hairs, which would end up as noticeable blemishes. Every night, I would turn on all the bathroom lights and stare into the mirror from two inches away, hunting for the day's new growth with tweezers in hand. It was awful.
Even though I'd heard of laser hair removal, for a long time I thought it was something that OTHER people could benefit from. I figured it was too expensive, too painful, too inconvenient, and too hard to find a trustworthy practice. Then I saw that Skin Solutions had opened right in my home town of Groton—just minutes up the road. I figured I should at least go for a consultation and inquire about pricing. When I discovered that treatment was well within my budget, and that the Skin Solutions caregivers were all licensed medical clinicians (not "aestheticians"), I immediately scheduled my first laser appointment.
I have now had four sessions, spread over the last six months, and I am thrilled. The black hairs are gone, the ingrown hairs are gone—no more nightly plucking and fretting. The treatments are quick and easy, and the Skin Solutions staff is wonderful. I actually look forward to going!
I never imagined that there was something easy and permanent that I could do to change my life, and the way I feel about my face. Thank you, Dr. Reinhorn!
