    I never did laser hair removal, but I know from a bit of dabbling I did with lasers in the mid 2000s that laser hair removal isn't 100% permanent. Your body does fight back from the 'damage' and it will redevelop hair follicles at some point  later on. The hair that does grow might be similar, or might be a bit finer. There will most likely be less of it as well. But it's not a 'one shot and it's gone' sort of treatment. 
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.
