I’m 17 and I have hair on my sideburns and chin. I’ve just started electrolysis in September and I’ve been about 3 or 4 times. I wouldn’t say I have a lot. But I have really thick hair and its really noticeable especially on my sideburns. The hairs also are really long so it really grosses me out. I’ve been depressed for about 4 years now because of my self esteem and other things and this just adds on to my problems as I am a teenager and looks are very important to me. I even had to start homeschooling because I developed a social disorder and I was on anti-depressants, I have no idea if this has anything to do with the hair, I think I had it before the medication. When I started electrolysis I was really optimistic about it and the lady I go to is really nice and shes been doing it for over 30 years or so. I’ve been crying every day because this is really stressing me out, and my mom is really struggling financially and its hard for me to get these treatments and I don’t want it to be a waste.
Anyways my questions.
Everytime I get a treatment the hair grows back after about a month. I really thought the last time I got a treatment it would go away forever as I don’t have that much…I did notice that most of the hair on my chin has disappeared except a few stray ones and I’m worried that the ones that arent there now will grow back. How long until they are gone forever?
How do I know if they are gone forever? I really just want this done as soon as possible because were running out of money and this is my only option… I’ve never tried waxing only shaving before I started electrolysis so I don’t know if it prolonged the hair growth or what.
I would just like some advice as I am desperate. I’m supposed to go in for a treatment tomorrow and just want some reassurance, thanks.
