I have always been pretty hairy, started to look kind of odd as I lost the hair on my head.
In my late 40s I started to laser the hair on my back. I bought a package of six treatments and two years of maintenance.
My back is now as smooth and bare as a babies behind. Quite pleased. Like some one snapping rubber bands on your skin. I also took advantage of every maintenance appointment available.
A few years later tried the front, didn't work as well. Part of the problem was some of my hair started to turn gray. They told me that the laser wouldn't get rid of the gray but I said go ahead. All togther about half of the hair went away.
I get waxed every ten weeks or so. There has been a noticeable reduction in total hair from waxing. Defiantly a lot more painful than the laser. I happen to stumble into a very good "waxer." Cute gal, around 30, and pretty funny.
The second time I saw her I made a crack about what a great job you have, "you get to look at half naked middle age men."
She winked at me and said," better than looking at naked middle age men." Ever since then we play a little game of "how low will you go." She slips the top of my pants down just a little lower that where I leave them. Getting with in an inch or two of my pee pee. Yes, if she was interested I would be as well. Our little chaste flirting is in some ways more fun.
Overall I have been happy being about 90% less hairy than before. Warning though. The first winter without a lot of body hair I was noticeably colder.
