Good for you that you managed to overcome a fear and try it out! I must warn you that when it will start to grow...it will itch like hell before you can wax it again. Maybe you will be lucky lol. I know it is super super painful. I thought about IPL but I am not sure that it is healthy. Have you tried sugaring? It is a more eco-friendly style of waxing and it leaves your skin AHMAzingly smooth.
