Hi, I’m new here and thought I would also chart my electrolysis journey as I have found reading a few of these journals on this site very helpful. Basically, I am getting electrolysis on the sides of my face, neck area, chin and upper lip. I had my first consultation today and the electrologist went on to do a half hour session to see how I and my skin reacted.
This problem has been bothering me for a couple of years now, I first noticed the hairs in my late teens (I’m now 24) and of course have since made a mess of the area by using every method of depilation known to man. I had a course of laser hair removal but it was unsuccessful and produced more growth - I’d say this is partly becuase my hair has a red tinge to it and the laser was just inappropriate for my hair type, though I’m not a professiona so I can’t be sure! The electrologist who I saw today runs a beauty school and teaches electrology and I chose her mostly because she seemed the most knowledgeable of all the people I spoke to. I’m not totally au fait with all of the electrolgy terms but she used a mixture of blend and thermolysis today I think. She has booked me for another half hour session in one week’s time. Does anyone think it would be a good idea to get an hour or two to achieve clearance as quickly as possible? Anyway, before this becomes excessively long, thanks for reading and I’ll be sure to update you.
