1
It is not bad at all.
2
Hi guys today I am at laser away for my first time getting my laser hair removal.
3
Super excited for it.
4
Let's go check it out.
5
when I have bikini shoes or whatever shoes actually
6
so I don't have to do that anymore in the future
7
because with laser hair removal I don't have to worry about that anymore.
8
So now my nurse is here.
9
Let's get started.
10
It is not bad at all.
11
I'm so surprised.
12
I only feel cold air actually.
13
Perfect.
14
Okay, one, two, three.
15
How is this?
16
Okay.
17
You feel something?
18
I definitely feel something, but it's not bad actually.
19
Okay, good.
20
How would you rate your pain on a scale of one to two?
21
10?
22
10 being like the worst pain ever.
23
Probably like 5.
24
5?
25
Yeah.
26
Okay.
27
That's tolerable for you?
28
It's okay.
29
It's not two.
30
Happy it's not ten.
31
Yeah.
32
I hope not.
33
But as we work up your leg, you'll feel it less.
34
Okay.
35
Usually the ankles and the shin.
36
So what is the laser actually doing?
37
So the laser is actually targeting the pigment in your hair follicles.
38
And it's going in there and it's destroying it.
39
So it's attracted to that little dark pigment in your hair follicle.
40
It penetrates really deep inside there.
41
It destroys that follicle so it doesn't grow back.
42
So we're destroying it with heat.
43
Doing okay?
44
Yeah.
45
You're right.
46
It's like so it's like going up.
47
Yeah, I as I work my way up.
48
Yeah, I Think the cold air helps a lot.
49
Oh, yeah, sure.
50
Yeah, there's really helpful.
51
It's Distracting and it also pulls the skin down because the laser is actually pretty hot.
52
You just don't feel the heat Yeah, is there anything I should avoid after the treatment?
53
You really just want to avoid any type of heat You definitely don't want to exercise for about 24 hours.
54
You don't want to go into a jacuzzi or a hot tub.
55
Just stay away from anything that's going to cause a lot of heat to the area.
56
Just because we already are putting so much heat there.
57
So we don't want to make it worse.
58
Sometimes that can just make the area a little bit irritated, a little itchy.
59
And we don't want that.
60
We want to keep it cool.
61
So you want to avoid sweating or any form of heat.
62
sunlight so you don't want to go lay out in tan or anything for at least a couple days after your treatment.
63
Okay, but I can work out after 24 hours?
64
Yeah.
65
Yeah.
66
Go ahead and pass this side over.
67
- Like this?
68
- Yeah, just like that.
69
- And what about shaving after the treatment?
70
- You can shave like normal.
71
I would still give it a day.
72
- Okay.
73
- Just 'cause, you know, if it does grow out a little bit, you don't wanna get razor burn and irritate the area, but you could start shaving in between your appointments.
74
That's actually the only thing we recommend.
75
We don't want you to pluck the hair in any way.
76
But you will notice in the next couple of weeks, a lot of these hairs are gonna start to shed.
77
Okay, so they're gonna actually start to fall out of the follicle.
78
And after how many treatments do I start seeing results?
79
Honestly, you'll see results after one.
80
Oh wow, okay.
81
Yeah, in the next few weeks some of these hairs will shed and then when your growth cycle starts to happen again,
82
you'll notice that the hair is like not growing back as quicker or as thicker.
83
You'll see like a 10 % reduction.
84
Like you'll be like, oh, I see a difference.
85
between six to eight sessions for the body
86
and you might even need a touch up here
87
and there after your package and you said there are different settings right yeah
88
so if you do it let's say for the second
89
or third time you go higher with the laser too yeah i mean it's really dependent on like whether
90
or not the nurse sees that it's necessary so as your hair thins out if we feel
91
increase gradually like very slowly just to meet the needs of like your hair growth the thinness
92
or thickness of your hair the most sensitive area is actually around the ankles i would say
93
but as soon as the nurse goes up more up like i barely can feel anything which is good
94
related to the fact that it's a bonier area
95
so you have a little less like meat there also the
96
hair tends to be coarser on the lowest portion on the legs so sometimes
97
when the hair is coarser you feel it more whereas as
98
we move up on the leg the hair starts to get thinner and thinner Okay,
99
and we're all done with the legs.
100
We're gonna move on to Brazilian now.
101
Okay, so the nurse is doing my Brazilian now and it's not bad at all.
102
I mean I can definitely feel that some parts are more sensitive than others but pretty good.
103
Okay, so we are all done.
104
I had a great experience.
105
The nurse, she was amazing.
106
She explained everything to me.
107
The pain wasn't bad at all.
108
I was expecting a lot more pain.
109

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
