Introduction and purpose

This blog was created to hopefully fill a (very small) niche I haven't seen elsewhere on the net ..

First off, introductions. I am a 36 year old male in Kansas City, MO that is undergoing laser hair removal on my face and neck at a local doctor's office. My reasons for getting this procedure are pretty simple, I don't like having sandpaper face.

The appeal of not shaving is certainly strong. I'm one of these that still feel like sandpaper even right after shaving in a normal way (with the grain). I can get much closer by going against or across the grain, but that invariably leads to red dots and extremely irritated skin.

I don't expect laser to permanently remove all hairs forever because it simply doesn't work that way. For one I have a few gray hairs that wouldn't respond anyway and would have to be removed by electrolysis. So a simple (great) reduction in hairs would be the long term goal.

As for that specific niche I was speaking of. I haven't found any personal blogs out there with the level of detail I'd have liked before embarking on this path. Specifically before and after photos from each treatment session, radiated power levels for each session, frequency of treatment and information on the specific equipment used, and anecdotal information on how it feels and that sort of thing.
