All opinions are 100% mine.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRemember last week when <a href=\"http:\/\/verastic.com\/social\/guess-whos-getting-laser-treatment-bikini-girl.html\"><strong>I told you that I&#39;ll be getting a laser treatment<\/strong><\/a>? I bet you thought I was joking. Well, I wasn&#39;t. I got it done on October 4th. It was a Saturday morning and my appointment was at 9:30 AM. I got there about 10 minutes early. I made myself a cup of coffee and sat down to fill out the medical history form. Jacqueline was there to welcome me. I met her during <a href=\"http:\/\/verastic.com\/social\/want-laser-hair-removal-ideal-image.html\"><strong>my free consultation<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span class=\"placeholder\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i1280.photobucket.com\/albums\/a487\/am_izea\/\nIdealImageLogoResized2_zps9411b36e.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Ideal Image \nphoto IdealImageLogoResized2_zps9411b36e.jpg\"\/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe nurses are so friendly. After my form was filled, one nurse took me into the treatment room to go over the form I filled. She wanted to make sure that I didn&#39;t mistakenly leave out some vital information. She asked if I was okay and if I needed anything. It was almost as if I was checking into a hotel. Maybe I was.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAfter that. I went into the changing room to take my pants off and cover up with a drape. Then my nurse, Lindsay, a nurse pracitioner came in. She was really, really friendly. I lay on the bed, face up. I was given protective lens to protect me from the laser light and I was also given stress balls to squeeze, if I needed. I ended up needing them.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Ideal-Image-1.jpg\" style=\"width: 750px; height: 499px;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/verastic.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Ideal-Image-Stress-Balls.jpg\" style=\"width: 750px; height: 499px;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\n\tBefore the treatment, I expressed my feear of what the discomfort would feel like. Well, now I know. I&#39;d describe as putting alcohol on a paper cut, and then blowing warm air on it. There were areas where there wasn&#39;t even any &quot;discomfort&quot; but closer to the tender areas, I squeezed hard on the stress balls. It was during these times that I wondered what I had gotten myself into. But as soon as she went away from the tender parts, I breathed a sigh of relief and I was glad again that I was getting a treatment.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBecause I did the full bikini area, at some point, I had to lie on my belly, so she could treat between the cheeks. I truly felt sorry for her for having to do that. The good news, though, was that there was no discomfort. &nbsp;If anything, I prayed that a fart wouldn&#39;t mistakenly escape. That would have been so embarrassing. &nbsp;It took about 25 minutes to complete, and my next appointment is in December. They have to do the treatment 9 times, so one down and eight to go.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/app.socialspark.com\/clicks?lid=37684&amp;oid=13220052\" rel=\"nofollow\">Ideal Image<\/a>&nbsp;has 160 locations nationwide, so there&#39;s probably one next to you.
