using the manual method.

I take measurements and do water displacement tests, then I record the results in a log book.

That way, I can compare from year to year to see if I notice any trends.

Thought I was going to have to call 911.

I'm ok now, after my transfusion.

I only use that hair removal method for certain targeted areas. I find Asian spas do a much better job when it comes to the full body hair removal.
