I fuwkin' CAN'T STAND the fact that hair grows on my back. It didn't always. Anyway, it pisses me off to the point where I go to the trouble to shave it off. It's a royal pain to reach around and shave your friggin' back, and I'm never sure if I've gotten it all.
I've considered laser hair removal at a facility, but it's really expensive. We're talking thousands of dollars. It would probably cost about 3 grand/USD to get rid of all my back hair. I don't have as much as some men, but I have enough to bug me.
Previously, I've read reviews of home permanent hair removal products, but they all got absolutely trashed reviews at Amazon. Until now. I've found an article that reviews two products designed for home use that permanently remove hair. One works with an intense light; the other is actually a laser. Here's the article:
At-Home Laser Hair Removal (http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/SmartHome/Story?id=6192788&page=1)
Neither are dirt cheap, but both are way less expensive than in-office laser hair removal treatments. Both also got good reviews at Amazon.com. I'm considering pulling the trigger on one of them, probably the Tria since it's the one that has a true laser. Of course I'd need to finally get a wing man, and one willing to do use the gizmo on my back. I'd do the same for him, of course.
I'm wondering if anyone here has used any type of permanent hair removal system on his back and, if so, if he liked the results.
Btw, here are the Amazon links with reviews of each one:
