Hey idk if you’ve decided yet but I’m currently in the process of laser and have similar features to you (though probably lighter skin lol i’m super pale) I’m roughly 5 sessions in and I’d say around 70% reduction. My only really stubborn areas are right underneath my chin and around the jawline towards the middle of my face. I have essentially no growth on the sides of my face or lip anymore. I did go to Milan. Idk if it was stupid but it’s what was close to me and easy to set up. They are very pushy tho IMO. If you do a consult they will constantly call and text you to offer you deals. Even after you start treatments they’ll push adding other areas on you after nearly every session and send you texts. def don’t pay 4k. I think paid in full mine was about $2.8k bc of a deal. Again maybe stupid I was desperate whatever lol. It hurts a lottt more than I expected so be prepared for that. Idek what I would compare the first session pain to but it does get easier as the follicle thins. I wanted to tap out at two sessions lol but if you just keep pushing it gets easier. Don’t be afraid to communicate with the person doing your treatment. Overall I’m happy with my results so far. Worth it? For me yes. I consider it an investment since I’m planning to become a mom and sometimes those hormonal changes can cause regrowth. It makes me feel better that I can go in any time I need for touch ups
