Really regret my LHR decision

I decided to get LHR on my underarms and bikini area after I graduated college. I had my first post-grad job making big girl money so naturally I got excited and wanted to treat myself to something that I had always wanted, laser hair removal.

I went with Milan laser because I had to relocate often for work and they had locations everywhere. I also liked that they gave an unlimited number of treatments because I was not at all convinced that a package of 6 treatments or so would be enough to do the trick. Milan is definitely a more expensive option and looking back I wish I had done some additional research and compared more than a couple of quotes.

It’s been 2 years now and I’m still not hair free (I will admit, there have been some hiatuses in between treatments because of life and work). I’ve had something like 15 or 16 LHR treatments and while I do notice a pretty significant reduction in hair, it’s probably only about 40% of the way there. The pain is starting to become unbearable and I don’t think I can handle much more intensity. I often leave with welts, and although I’ve been assured is normal and they go away after 24hrs, it creates a lot of discomfort for a day. I’m worried that I won’t ever reach full hairlessness and my money will have been wasted.

While I don’t regret underarms at all, I do regret my bikini area. I used to be very self conscious about my pubic hair and as I get older I’ve come to realize that it is literally nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about. If anything I’m almost embarrassed by the idea of being a grown woman with a bald kitty. Also I basically suffer from perpetual swamp ass now. I never realized how much of a wicking effect body hair had so my nether regions and pits always feel sweaty, so new insecurity unlocked

In short I really regret the amount of money I paid for my LHR treatments and I wish I had only gone with the underarms and not let myself get swindled into a bikini. So far I haven’t seen the results that I want and I’m disliking the sweaty side effects of hair removal
