2025: The Year of the Laser: Treatment 2 of 9
Today was the second of nine laser facial hair removal sessions. My skin healed faster after the first session than expected, so we're going to shorten the time between treatments from four weeks to three.
I'm looking more stubbly here than I did after treatment 1 four weeks ago, but that's because I did not shave this morning in the hope that it might help the treatment today.
The nurse-technician who does this work is excellent, and great to work with. Apparently she thinks I'm very funny when I tell stories like how I met Lisa. She asked to see a picture of her, and it took me a while to bring one up on Flickr, because usually she's the one taking the pictures, not being in them.
The real challenge now is that much of my remaining hair is coming in as gray, and gray hairs are much harder to kill with the laser. If I'd done this thirty years ago, it would have been easier. But thirty years ago the laser treatment they have now didn't exist, and I certainly didn't have the money to buy it even if it did exist.
