Adventures in Laser Land

DISCLAIMER: IF I AM YOUR CHILD OR MARRIED INTO YOUR FAMILY, THE FOLLOWING POST MAY BE TOO EMBARRASSING FOR YOU TO READ. IF YOU CHOOSE TO CONTINUE, PLEASE DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK OF EMBARRASSMENT.

MY MOTHER READ THIS IN ADVANCE AND ASK THAT I NEVER REVEAL HER IDENTITY OR WHEREABOUTS.

So, I know it’s been awhile since I’ve graced your presence with my witty nonsense. It’s not that there’s not been anything to share, I mean I have been out to eat at on old elementary school that has been converted to a restaurant AND consignment store…that also included live entertainment by a one arm country singer…it’s just that I’ve been somewhat under the weather.

However, this tidbit is simply to good to pass up.

Last year for Christmas I was gifted with a gift certificate for some laser hair removal treatments and because I am a grateful person, I decided I needed to partake in this thoughtful gift…because if someone wants me to be less hairy, then maybe I should take the hint.

Anyhoo, the laser hair removal package consists of 5 treatments that all have to be used within a year’s time. After much consideration, I decided having my bikini area treated would be my best bet seeing as I go to the beach alot and shaving down there really is a pain in the…well, you get the idea.

Earlier in the year, I had the first three treatments completed and the experience was tolerable. It wasn’t something I would want to do everyday but in the bigger picture of things, it wasn’t that bad.

But the thing about laser hair removal is that with each treatment, the laser gets more intense.

Moving right along to last Wednesday when I scheduled my fourth treatment.

One on hand, it was a beautiful day. 70 degrees. Sunshine. Three hours without my children. HOLLA!

On the other hand, I have to get completely naked from the waist down and lay frozen peas on my nethers for 15 minutes to numb my skin.

So far…so good.

Next the aesthetician puts freezing cold jelly on my hoo-haa with a tongue depressor and engages me in senseless small talk.

Still…no kids for three hours. Not that bad.

Then she explains to me that they will increase the laser for this treatment and it may be a little “hot” and just to let her know if it’s too much for me to handle.

“OK, but I had my last baby without anything…I think I can handle a little laser….”

Zap…Zap…ZAP…ZAP…ZAP…ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!

Holy Ritz Cracker.

My lady envelope got hot…and not in a good way.

This was hot…like frying bacon in a cast iron skillet hot. Like jalapenos in your eyes hot. Like snorting Frank’s Red Hot.

No wonder hair won’t grow down there cause there’s no freaking skin left.

I mean, it got to the point that  I could no longer take it and I ask her to stop and she just giggled and said, “I’m almost done.”  Really, like I care at this point if I have hair on my poochie poochie.

Upon leaving, I texted Rico and said: It is on fiiiiiirrrrrreeeeee. Sweet Jesus. I dun burnd my lips off….ohmygaaaaa!!!!

His reply, “I will be home tomorrow. It better be working.”

  • Lol You are really a hoot. Don't y'all know it is called the "fur monster" for a reason. Monster do not like to loose their fur no matter how yawl do it. It is a wonder you did not shoot the laser wheeling manic when the statement was made "almost done" . Poor ole fur Monster now the Naked Truth. lol Peace

  • You are braver than I!!!
    I hope it has stopped burning by now!
  • Holy crap! I am so not gonna be going to do that any time soon.
  • Hey Hot Lips,
    I somehow don't think lasers were meant to be used on the girly wallet, however I am sure Rico appreciates your effort. Next time you e-mail me at work about your adventures in "laserland" you must put a disclaimer on that. I laughed so hard that my co-workers thought I was losing my mind.
  • super funny. i'm laughing out loud. not at your pain, but at rico's comment. he is a stitch. sorry about your va jay jay area. hope it heals quickly. i just wax myself. i had spider vein treatments though. they hurt just a bit, but my legs look fantabulous.
  • OMG....I am laughing at his response!

    I could not imagine the fire you felt, sounds like it was very uncomfortable.

    So the question is " Are you going for your last treatment?
  • Amy
    LMAO!!! I just don't have the words to say to this.. but ....bless your heart and I hope you're feeling better?

    I am literally laughing out loud -hysterically - I know it wasn't funny to you, but OMG....the whole visual image was just too funny!

    Someone *gave* you five laser treatments as a gift? That would run a cool $1K here in Lake Redneckville...my gyno runs an aesthetics clinic as a sideline. You may be hurting, but geez, woman, at least it was on somebody else's very big dime.
  • Yikes, that sounds painful!
