Well, good luck!! I guess since you have your sister's precedent you wouldn't need to search for the right laser clinic but if you do decide to do laser (vs IPL) the newest system out there is Candela (to the best of my knowledge). Look for it if you are getting laser done. Keep us posted on how it goes!!!

I have got no idea, I can only share my experience. After just one treatment, I started feeling numbness/tingling around my genital area. And numbness can NEVER be good.
If you are very unsure, you don't need to start big. You can always go and talk to the people providing the treatment - I think the initial consultation should be free. Also, many places offer a test for free - I have seen a place advertising first armpits as free. So choose an inconspicuous area and get a test treatment there. Of course you will only see the results after quite a few treatments but it at least gives you an indication of how much it hurts or not.

Well I started down this path because previously I used to shave and I shaved myself into a pack of needles. As you can imagine, no girl would like a pack of needles LOL. I actually went to a dermatologist who recommended this and once I saw - umm I mean felt - the results there was never any turning back

Although I am a guy, I can provide some really useful input here. First of all, to the best of my knowledge, IPL and laser are two different things. IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light and I have tried both IPL and Laser. I have had extremely poor results with IPL but Laser has been AMAZING. The effectiveness of laser depends on both skin type and hair color. The very bestest results are obtained when you are very fair and have black hair. This maximizes the energy absorption into the hair while leaving the skin unhurt. I am quite dark and I am squeaky clean - not a trace of pubic hair anywhere on me. I am also completely bare in my arm pits. That said, for me, it HURTS LIKE HELL. Think about hitting a man in the balls. Now think about hitting with a hair brush that has prickly needles for the teeth. Thats how it feels like. BUT. The results are AMAZING. The soft smooth velvet texture of that area is just undescribable even though this is a man's skin we are talking about. Over time, my hair growth has retarded so much that I need treatments after more than two months. Oh did I tell you the smoothness is so amazing it takes an effort not to play with myself
