The good thing about laser hair removal numbing cream is it can reduce pain by about 40% this is great for those of you (like me) who are a little scared of laser hair removal because of the pain. Luckily most laser hair removal machines have the ability to change the intensity settings anyway, so a low setting combined with numbing cream will mean you hardly feel anything! Then you can slowly begin to build the intensity levels up therefore making it more effective. They say that laser hair removal hurts as much as flicking an elastic band against you skin. But with a low setting and numbing cream it should hurt even less than that! Not excuse not to try it!

Laser Hair Removal, both from a clinic and from a hand held device does have side effects im afraid. I found this article extract which tells you about some of them. But overall I think laser hair removal is good regardless of side effects.

“Short Term Laser Hair Removal Unintended Side Effects

Im happy to point out that the majority of side effects tend to be short term and very rare, the very first and most evident side effect will be discomfort both for the duration of your treatment and right after it. It would in fact be unusual if you did not experience any pain! The pain will probably only last at most a couple of days and if it is excruciating you can acquire cooling lotions and creams in order to numb the particular region which has been remedied. Hand in hand with the pain commonly goes a little inflammation as the follicles are being eradicated, once again this is 100 % normal. There likely will be a few visual side effects, mainly in the form of redness around the cared for area. Again this should go after a week. A more serious visual issue is when your pores and skin begins to blister, when this takes place infection will be the biggest difficulty therefore you will need to keep it nice and clean.If you seem to be prone to blistering decrease the strength of the treatments and that should assist a lot. Don’t forget slow and steady wins the race, you don’t wish to damage yourself! Light bruising can be additionally a possible, but uncommon side effect, the bruises should recover at a ordinary rate however so will certainly fade away swiftly.”

This is an extract from the essay im writing on the sovereignty of Parliament. This part is about devolution and the effect it has on sovereignty. 

The devolution of Ireland Scotland and Wales has a similar set of facts to that of the independence of commonwealth countries. The theoretical ability of Parliament to repeal the Scotland Act 1998, for example, would remain intact. However whether the Scottish would recognise such a repeal would be another question. The potential damage to Parliamentary sovereignty seems to be much less than the potential damage from commonwealth countries. The devolution acts are not giving up all power in the same way; Parliament remains sovereign in some areas. These Westminster reserved areas help keep the United Kingdom united. These involved areas involve international relations, immigration, power policy and other such areas of constitutional framework. The Scottish Parliament has power over education, transport, tourism and other less constitutional issues. So it is as if Parliament is not giving up its sovereignty, rather allowing different bodies to manage parts of the sovereignty. Wade’s “sovereignty over the remainder” seems to remain true for situations of devolution. Parliamentary sovereignty doesn’t seem to matter too much on how much it is actually sovereign over and since theoretical existence of ability to make and unmake any law still exists, and since UK law does not recognise the ability of devolved governments to rule against an act of Parliament in areas it maintains possession, Parliamentary sovereignty is technically still in force.

There it is, it’s still a work in process.

This is going to sound random, but here im going to talk about two things that really interest me - laser hair removal and the law. An odd combination!
