Patch Test pt.2

As the full body treatment has moved to front place, I had to have another patch test on my neck, so my immediate reaction (in my head) was ‘huh, do I have to pay ANOTHER £25’, but don’t worry that wasn’t the case. Because If I’d chosen the full body beforehand I would have had the a patch test on my neck as well as my leg but since I didn’t decide until later on, it was ok to have it again.
Anyway the reason for all this was because with laser hair removal, the skin from the face and body react differently. As an example, the thighs are the most common place people tend to pigment (small dark marks occur, sometimes permanent, sometimes not! This is discussed during your consultation.)

Just seconds after I had my patch test on the side of my neck (don’t worry its not noticeable, but that’s why having long hair comes in handy), I was telling the woman why I decided to have the full body treatment, and then, what she said next kinda made me feel I wasted my time. She said on the full body the arms are not included.
This may not be a big deal for people like my friend who has pale skin as well as light ass blond hair, but for me it was a big deal. Not only is my hair darker, with me being Asian, but I have quite a lot of hair than the most women do on their arms (dam my dad’s genes!), and I considered my arms as an essential place I wanted treated.

… what to do?

Then I put my thinking hat on. My essential places I want treated are my arms, underarms and face. But even though my face is really important, in the back of my mind I am afraid if I pigment and if it becomes permanent, it will be obvious and also my hair is so fair it may not even work.
Although pigmentation just depends on the person, as they mentioned someone could do great on 5 treatments but then all of a sudden pigment on the 6th. But if we have learnt anything from society…there is also a price for beauty.

So I asked, if I cut out the face and bikini and have my full arms done would it work out the same. A weight was soon lifted when she said I could do so as money wise it worked out the same.
So before I made my official beginning of treatment appointment, yes that’s right, I once again messed around with prices to see if it actually works out better to get my arms, underarms and legs done altogether rather than separately.
And instead of boring you with my maths equations, all that brain power paid off as it did work out better to do the full body. I then figured, after this long process, if I feel I am satisfied with the treatment I may consider taking the risk and on my facial hair.
