Hello,

I'm considering saving up to buy myself a Rio laser hair removal tool to use at home but I'm not sure how effective it and I was wondering if anyone had any reviews that might be helpful!

I used to use the Veet hair removal cream which worked really well for me but after a while it stopped being very effective and made my skin burn. I started shaving after that and while it was very effective, it's made things much worse now. I have to wait aaaages between shaving now because it brings me up in horrible rashes, bleeding and horribly dotted red/purple marks where the hairs used to be. Especially on my underarms it's caused lots of painful ingrown hairs Sad I can't bear the thought of attempting to get myself waxed!

I think laser hair removal might be a good thing to try but I just wanted to make sure I was getting something useful, since it'll cost me quite a bit.

Any information would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks~

rio hair remover
I have had one for two years and used it on every setting going,followed all instructions, phoned the company and stopped using it and tried it again as you do with these things you buy. I can honestly say I havent managed to zap one hair yet. Its not good. I decided a month ago to get it out again so i thought i would target a small area every day on my top lip area and all the hairs are still there. It is a waste of money. I am fair skinned and fair haired so I would expect from the blurb to be the ideal candidate.

My girlfriend has made several suggestions that I have my chest hair trimmed. She says it is too much like a thick carpet on my chest. I told her that I guess I'm lucky in that I don't have hair on my back or shoulders that most women find unattractive. I don't want to go through any painful procedure and especially since past girlfriends have loved my chest hair. What should I do? GSCVA
