I’m just back from spending over three weeks away. The first two weeks, I had no access to the Rio Laser Hair Remover machine. The third one, quite honestly, I just could not find the time. These three weeks have allowed the “grass to regrow”. Recap of what’s to follow:

• bikini-line 6th day, and it’s been over 3 weeks since last treatment
• armpits 3rd day, and it’s been over 5 weeks since last treatment

During my trip I confirmed, as I was saying in my last post, that even in salons you must go 5 or 6 times before the hair starts to disappear AND you must leave over a month between sessions, so I am still not discouraged with the results of my experiment. The hairs are there but I do know of a couple of them that have not grown back. Patience, they say…

Today I should do both my bikini-line and my armpits, but as we have already seen, it takes about an hour to do each part (more, if you have more patience). As I do not have two hours today to spend on the hairs, I am going to do the following: today I will trim and attack all the hairs I see in my bikini-line and shave with cream my armpits. I will then publish this post. In a couple of days, with the armpits’ crops ~ 2 mm long, I will laser the armpits and publish the new post. How’s that?

I’ve been meaning to write a disclaimer for a while now, for it is important that you trust my opinion. I have seen many entries in forums and blogs where they discuss a product and you can easily see that their opinions are biased because, basically, they are getting paid to promote the product. So here goes my disclaimer:

Disclaimer: I do not work for or receive any payments from the Rio company for these posts. I might receive some money if you buy the Rio Machine using the Amazon or Google links, but

1. I would also get money if you bought the Philips DVD player I strongly object to in my Price does not equal quality… post or the funny looking “Briquette Maker for Recycling Newspaper and Junk Mail eko-mania” thingy (why would you buy that??) that just appeared for a sec as the Amazon “related” (seriously?) to olivetalks’ contents ad.
   
2. If my conclusion is at the end, that the Rio Laser machine does not work, I will say it. Even if it means nobody buys it and I have to admit I wasted money and let’s face, by now, even more time.

There, disclaimer written. Now to today’s impressions.

It took me an hour to slowly trim with scissors plus laser every hair in my bikini-line. I could have spent a second hour but my neck was starting to complain from looking down… I increased the power level to 4 because… well, because I’m getting impatient. The first 5 sessions in the bikini area were quite close together so from one week to the next I could easily trim the stubborn hairs and laser them. Today, it felt like I was starting all over again, because they were all long and… “everywhere”. Everywhere between quotes because, as I have mentioned in other posts, I have not tagged all the hairs and I don’t really know if these are the original hairs or the original ones “died” and these are the famous dormant hairs starting to appear. Hopefully the latter is true.

Today’s afterthought: when you decide to laser your hairs, you get hooked. I mean the process is boring but when you see a black hair you laser it, right? Once you are not paying attention to that one, you notice the two nearby hairs that are not as black as the first one (that’s why they weren’t the ones that caught your attention to begin with). So you laser those two. And that’s when you see the 5 hairs around the initial five which are even a lighter “shade of black”… and so on. I have to stop myself from expanding the target area and stay focus on the hairs of the bikini line which belong to my experiment area number 1. In this sense, the Rio Laser Machine is worth it. You can do as many areas as you want, for the same price. I wonder if I keep this going and the Rio machine works, if I’ll end up like the tiny birds at the end of Pixar’s “for the Birds“… now that’s an image!
