Sunday Sun Sesh No. 1

Cuba - South Coast

On an average Melbourne Sunday, it's nice to dream about a place a little more exotic.

Above is from my 2011 Cuba trip where I rented a car with a couple of girlfriends and traced along the revolutionary route famously taken by Fidel, Che and Camilo (amongst many others). 

This little slice of paradise (to be fair, ALL of Cuba is stunningly beautiful, ruins and all) was found on the way to Playa Giron. 

Car was quickly parked and we rented some snorkelling gear from a couple of guys on the side of the road *side note- reggaeton blaring... Oh yeah!* and quickly jumped into the pristine Caribbean waters. Amazing coral and tropical fish of all sizes. Breathtaking.

Ahhh.... Cuba... Easily my favourite place on earth.

Can I hear an Amen for Laser Hair Reduction?!

Why oh why did I not do this sooner?

My best friend underwent laser years ago with great results. At the time she was using a laser called ELOS.

With the years, has come even better technology- Enter Candela Gentlelase laser. Simply, it's a bloody revolution! Viva la revolucion!

Fresh off my fourth session this morning, I can honestly say it is THE BEST money I have ever spent on myself. I saw results from my very first session, though thought wise not to post until I had, had a few more sessions under my belt. I'm having my underarms and bikini treated but am now thinking of getting my arms treated as well.

With only two more sessions to go on my current package (NeoSkin Williamstown) I virtually do not have to do any, yes, ANY maintenance on my underarms. I give them a quick shave the morning of my treatment (I undergo laser 6 weeks apart) but that's pretty much it.
My bikini has also dramatically reduced. I would say a conservative figure would be about 85-90% hair reduction so far. If and when hair does reappear, it is the wispiest, lightest hair. I am so beyond thrilled with my results! I can already see a much more pleasant summer without the hassle of hair removal!

I will have to go back for 'top up's' once my sessions are over, but that'll only mean a 5 minute appointment every 3 months or so. After the numerous years of waxing (those days are well and truly NOT missed!), I finally see light at the end of the tunnel.

Quick disclaimer- I have experienced a teeny bit of hyper-pigmentation on both the skin under my arms and on my bikini line, but it is quite faint. This can be a side affect if you have darker skin as the laser is attracted to darker colours and so sometimes effects colour in skin.
I purchased the NeoSkin special; Buy 5 sessions for $350.00, get the 6th session free. 6 sessions for $350.00, that equates to $58.33 a session! 

Definitely visit your local beauty skin clinic to learn more. It is such a revelation!
