Hi Guys,
I have booked my first electrolysis session for next week, i found her number from the British association of Electrolysis. She has 15 years experience and will be using the Appilus senior. Also she is the only one within an hours journey so it makes sense to try her out.Unless anyone else can recommed someone in the Manchester/Liverpool area (UK)
Anyway just want to give you a bit of background info as i planning on posting my progress here, basically i have been having laser on my upper lip/chin/jawline for the past 4 years. It has helped reduced the coarse dark hairs by about 25% but not a massive difference. I had the odd fine black hair on my cheeks which was treated ( i now know that these should have been left alone) but now the hairs on my cheek seem to have tripled. These are the ones i want to get rid of first.
There is still some hair on my chin/jaw but at the minute this is not my main concern(as i do shave these too) as the cheek hairs are becoming a lot more noticeable and i will NOT shave my cheeks and i have read plucking them will lesson the effect of electrolysis. I really hope she can do something for me as i am starting to feel like a freak. I can see people have a quick glance when they are talking to me and all i want to do is run away and hide. I do have PCOS confirmed by an endo at the hospital, and borederline testosterone levels.
I feel like the hair controls me so much, the thing that breaks my heart the most though is when my son who is 5, tries to touch my face affectionatley, i have to pull away and have ended up shouting at him and he doesnt understand why. I cant stand the thought of people touching prickly hairs on my chin.
Every aspect of my life is affetced, i cant wear my hair tied back, i hardly ever go out, i hate the dentist as the light shining on my face will show the hairs in their glory, i talk with my head down all the time, i have lost all my confidence in ever having another relationship.I just wish i could be normal again.
After reading the positive stories on here it has given me hope that it will work on me. I will commit to whatever i have to, as long i can start having a life and instead of existing start living again.
I will keep you updated x
