Hair removal w/ an IPL laser–worth it?

Hey all!

I have these coarse dark hairs that grow on my neck and jaw area (they aren’t many but they’re quite dark so they’re noticeable anyway). I’m used to plucking them, but the issue with this (especially ingrown ones) is that it leaves scarring. I have these makrs on my neck and jawline that are 2-3 shades darker than my natural skin tone.

B/c of this I’m considering going to a professional esthetics lab where they use IPL lasers to remove unwanted hair (after several tries of course). My question is for anyone who has tried this procedure–did it work? If so, after how many tries? Did it hurt? Very $$$? I’d love to know because I’m getting really tired of these little demon hairs scarring up my face.

Separate note: anyone know anything good for removing those hair removal scars/spots? I’ve heard hydroquinone is good. Any suggestions? Thanks soo much!!! :)

    Plucking (tweezing), Shaving, Depilatory creams and Waxing are temporary hair removal methods. Waxing usually lasts for 3 weeks, but it is painful. Electrolysis and laser hair removal are "permanent" hair removal methods but are expensive and you have to find a trained professional, otherwise your skin could be damaged.
