Well, long time ago, 2004-ish, my friend wanted to do some slimming thing?  And she saw on Chinese channel that this commercial was boasting those slimming machine for 14$,blah blah blah.  I personally haven't watched it before b/c I don't have the Chinese Channel.  She made me go with her for support because she was too scared.  haha.  It's a store at Crystal Mall.. I think its called Lin Palace??  I believe they renovated last year and made it very white and modern.  And when we went there, the lady was like, "we have so many commercials and advertisements"  she denied the TV one and said the cheapest option was to eat pills (almost 400$) or something like that and kept on changing prices on everything, etc, etc.  And she told us about "laser removal, FDA approved" for your upper lips and armpits its 12$.  Haha.  12$ for hair removal?  They had a price list of all the body sections of laser hair removal, the prices were very attractively cheap. However, it sounds too good to be true.  LOL.  My friend didn't end up doing anything b/c she felt that they were very deceiving and the place looked unethical.

just want to update on laser hair removal, my bf just did his 2nd treatment at Richmond laser skin care, so far so good, he didn't get the reaction he got last time at Dermal laser, and he told me..the lady was very gentle and professional, the equipment was clean, plus they provided him with their own cream to put on the area before and after treatment...so over all a good experience. The redness disappeared in a few hours...will have to wait and see if it really works, but he will continue the treatment once every month. ^^

Most spa shop should have hair removal. There are different type of hair removal, u can have electrolysis, u can have derma hair removal or laser hair removal. I think that the company that sales the machine already set up the price for the treatments, but it will still vary depending on the shop, some owners like a larger profit. Read about the different hair removal type. I think that electrolysis, it doesn't go that deep into the skin, some laser type penetrates more and will be able to remove all the hair (that depends on the part that u want to remove, some body hair is deeper than others). After hair removal, the area will be red. Just put some cream with aloe on it and avoid sun exposure. Oh yeah, some guarantee permanent hair removal. Need at least 6-9 treatments to target all hair.
