Ok, so I have been seeing my electrologist for 10 years. In the beginning I went every week then every other week. I was under the assumption that sooner or later I would never see them again because this is permanent. I have the upper lip chin area done…maybe she is doing it incorrectly I am not sure. What is everyone’s view on this. I go once every 4 weeks now is this what permanent is? I still get growth. I noticed a lot of tugging with the tweezers today…HELP
Depends.
If you are a guy with a full beard, THAT will be removed permanently forever … as in, no more treatments for life. If you are a woman with a bit of facial hair here and there, and you are moving into your 40s … well, the hair is never going to “stop.” Sure you can keep it under control, but you will see a few hairs pop-up now and then … a couple treatments per year should do it. No electrologist can stop new vellus hairs from converting into visible terminal hairs.
Then again, maybe your electrologist IS TWEEZING! Did I ‘splain correctly?
Only today?, Why I have the impression that this had to be happening more than once?. Indeed, tweezing is NOT permanent. If you’ve been noticing plucking all these years, you have not received Electrolysis. Only a very expensive tweezing.
On occasion maybe one or two hairs or three I would feel tugging but today many…so this means they are being plucked not treated. I said why so much hair growth and she said warm weather…plus I have not gone in a while. Granted after ten years I should not have To go every week…once in a while,but I guess I was wondering if she is plucking hence the hair growth…
What???10yrs every 4weeks .No this is not electrolysis. I think you have been visiting a tweezologist. How long are your sessions every 4 weeks? what have you been doing to the hair between sessions?
i cut hair in between…it may be longer every 6-8 weeks or so I go but i notice the growth about 4 weeks or so…no tweezing just cutting with small scissor. she is a really nice lady in business thirty years i feel the sting when she treats however i feel like after 10 years maybe i should go 2 x a year…if that… i just assumed i wouldn’t go after maybe two years…so is she doing it incorrectly because how many freaking hairs do i have above my lip after ten years you would think they would be gone…trying to find out info about a robyn graham that was mentioned on here and is supposed to be great in the pittsburgh area…
