belo
Monday, April 27, 2009i just wanted to share my first encounter with belo medical clinic. haha. i have been contemplating on having laser hair removal for a long time. but being the chicken that i am and because of financial considerations, i always put in on hold. last week i finally mustered enough courage to inquire at belo medical clinic in trinoma.
the treatment’s regular price is 5,000PHP but guess what?! they are offering it at a discounted price of 3,920PHP per session. no need to buy a package unlike in other clinics. but to take advantage of the discount, you can pay in advance for future sessions. the recommended number of sessions is 5 to 8. it’s done one a month.
anyway, the procedure itself is in neither painless nor painful. the doctor said that the first session is usually the most painful but as the hair decreases, the pain also decreases. 
i was scared at first because the nurse handed me stress balls. i was like, it is that painful that i would need stress balls!?!
for those who are interested, this is how it goes. a doctor will first do a mini-interview then explain the procedure and the expected effect. then a nurse will escort you to the room where the procedure will be done. she’ll cover your eyes and put the laser gel on your underarms. anyway it’s a bit painful but the pain is tolerable. according to the doctor, everytime you feel the pain you just have to think of the hair that will go away. hahaha.
