chest rug

Fortunately, I'm very fair haired so what body hair I do have doesn't particularly stand out, and just gives me a 'fuzzy edge' if you look at me from a distance. Saying that, I don't like it. Particularly as it starts to grow at a faster rate than the hair on my head (one of life's painful ironies).

A few of my friend's bought intense pulse laser ('IPL') treatments through Groupon a few months ago. I need to learn more about the science behind it, but it essentially permanently removes unwanted body hair!

The procedure sounds like it involves a reasonable amount of pain, and can cause some blistering, but in the long term it sounds like a sensible solution for hair removal. My friends are going through their treatments and are pleased with its success.

Another offer on Groupon for IPL came up for a salon in Islington, and in a rash but swift action I bought six appointments for £119 instead of £1,800 (I do love a bargain). This offer is for one large area and two medium areas, which according to the offer should cover my chest and I'm hoping I can get a bit more done too (possibly my lower stomach or my arms).

There is a chance that I can't have it done, as apparently it doesn't work for fair hair, but as I shaved my chest hair for many years, it grew back dark and is definitely noticeable - I think it makes my chest look dirty.

Understandably, I'm a little nervous about booking an appointment. And there's a good chance I might forget and never have it done, but I'm excited about the opportunity to move forwards with my plan to achieve body perfection (of sorts).

I'm determined to pump up my chest a little bit more before having this done, so will wait until the New Year to book. Until then, I might do a bit more research so I know what to expect!

Here goes!
