Week 2 of My 12-Week IPL Hair Removal Journey for My Chin
Hey dolls, welcome back! It’s officially week 2 of my 12-week IPL hair removal journey for my chin, and I’m so excited to share an update with you. As always, I’m keeping it real—bed head, frizzy curls, and all—because we’re besties, and this journey is about being raw, honest, and unfiltered.
Week 1 Results: The Real Talk
First things first, let’s talk results. After just one session of IPL hair removal, I didn’t expect anything drastic, and honestly, the hairs are still very present. They’ve grown a bit, which is to be expected at this stage. If you’re like me—a hairy Latina—you’ll understand that one session isn’t enough to make a noticeable difference just yet. IPL laser treatments work gradually, and consistency is the name of the game.
Here’s the tea: hirsutism caused by PCOS has always been a challenge for me, especially when it comes to confidence. This is more than just a beauty treatment; it’s about reclaiming a sense of self. For example, I’m tired of pulling my partner’s hand away when he tries to lovingly touch my chin or cheek. And don’t even get me started on that scratchy chin-hair-on-the-blanket sound when I’m snuggled up for the night—it’s a constant reminder of the struggles PCOS brings into my daily life.
Why This Journey Matters
This isn’t just about hair removal. It’s about showing up for myself and tackling the insecurities that PCOS and hirsutism have amplified. Society often tells us to “just deal with it,” but I’m here to say NO. I’m a woman—ALL woman—and I deserve to feel confident, feminine, and free, no matter what society says.
This IPL treatment journey is my way of taking control, one pore at a time. It’s a commitment to loving myself and seeing what happens when I choose to consistently show up for me.
What’s Next?
I’ll be sticking to my IPL at-home hair removal routine with one session per week. The goal is to keep tackling those stubborn hairs while staying patient and consistent. If you’re on the same path, remember that results take time. You’re not alone in this, and together, we’re breaking barriers.

Why I Chose IPL for My Chin
For those wondering, I chose IPL hair removal at home because it’s convenient, effective, and cost-efficient. Salon treatments weren’t in my budget, and this IPL device has given me the freedom to tackle hair removal on my terms.
Here’s why I recommend starting your own IPL journey:
- IPL Benefits: Smoother, softer skin over time.
- Convenience: Skip the salon and treat yourself from home.
- Empowerment: Take charge of your confidence and self-care.
