Hair removal (Lazer, waxing etc)

Hi everyoneI'm about to head to a hot climate on bikini weather and really need to get things trimmed (!). I can't handle waxing so usually use Veet creams but don't fancy those toxic chemicals anywhere near my skin right now.

Shaving isn't an option either.

What have others done? What about lazor removal? I've been meaning to buy one for a while to travel with to treat the regrowth.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Ps also have really oily skin and a dry scalp, am looking at homemade remedies for those. Acne started when using DHEA so I stopped it and the dry scalp might be the change of season.

Acne, dandruff and weight gain really hammering my confidence right now!

you have to shave if you use a laser as the hair has to be as short as possible so if you can’t shave then there’s no point. The point of laser hair removal is for a longer hair removal period so it’s not what you are looking for. Waxing might be your best option. Are you in the TWW? Otherwise I don’t think there’s really be any problem in using Veet.

Yes longer hair free period is what I want.No way I could wax, don't fancy the pain.

Not in TWW but about to have an egg collection so I don't want that area so close to my ovaries to have any risk of absorbing the potent chemicals of these hair removal creams ...

I'm happy to shave, just don't want to only shave, else the hair grows back thicker.

I’ve never used the handheld home laser thingys. I have had laser hair removal professionally done (I used to react bad to wax) which is really good. But not a short term fix for you 😕

Not what you're looking for?
