The biggest hurdle for me it was mostly wanting to deal with all my body hair, getting a course of full body laser has felt life changing when it comes to being out in public.

Yeah, I need to resume electrolysis at some point, but I’m stressed enough about money as is without worrying about biweekly electrolysis copays.

Copays suck, you go through the trouble of getting insurance to cover and then you still have to pay.

I found a esthetician/electrology school near me that does an hour of work for $20, which was a decent price point for me so I've been doing that all out of pocket so far.

I’ll have to reexplore my options, I don’t think laser was an option but that may have changed in the past year or so

I still have to finish electrolysis too, but at this point it's mostly for white hairs and a more manageable because the laser already knocked out most of the dark ones- definitely found that order of operations to be pretty efficient
