Strategy: Maintain

Observations: The sebaceous papules have all disappeared. The healing process is almost complete.

(I neither am Michael Ángel, nor have painted the Sistine Chapel, but like the artist I admire deeply the nake anatomy of the human body. Hair after other one, I sculpted my particular “David”. But he can walk!)

Oh, Josefa how you tickle me! :grin:

One word - excelente!
Just to say that I am the newest follower of this thread! Can’t wait to see the final touch :slight_smile:

And oh, Josefa I love andrea bocelli’s music. (Opened the youtube link from one of your post while reading this diary!)

Awesome, awesome!

Oh yeah, affordablelaser, I think we will all celebrate the arrival of the sun that made the darkness disappear.

Meanwhile, I dedicate this “brindisi” to you. :wink:

Comment: There is a difference in the area that was treated with needle Laurier. The scabs last Monday with a needle without insulation are still in the skin. In the area tested with insulated needle, hardly appeared scabs, and it is much smaller in diameter. My client has expressed his surprise.

Hi Josefa,

how is the treatmnt going? Some new pictures or it is allready finished? :slight_smile:

Cool photos.

I would definitely advise that individual to take an antihistamine before and after treatment. While an urticarial response is certainly normal, wheals can be extremely pruritic to the extent that significant scratching could inhibit post-treatment healing.

If post-treatment itching were a problem I’d usually recommend an OTC cortisone salve. I prefer the petroleum-based greasy ones because you then get the benefit of faster-healing epidermis and no crust formation. I suppose you could take an oral antihistamine but some of those make you sleepy. If you really get hives, well, that is another big question. Pretty rare.

Note: You can’t do this at all, but if you REALLY could turn off the histamine reaction in the skin (chemical mediators from the mast cells), the skin would not heal. Luckily nothing stops the healing process — well, maybe massive doses of steroids could stop it.

Considering at least 5-10% of the population has some sort of physical urticaria, it’s not as rare as you might think.

My comment was directed at that particular individual and was not meant to be extrapolated as a general recommendation. In any case, topical steroids aren’t really effective in reducing hives.

MD PhD here :grin:

Histamine is just one of the mediators released by mast cells. So blocking it will have an effect but won’t ‘switch off’ everything.

What would You suggest? Somerthing againgst allergic reactions, e.g. Cetirizin or something similar?

Btw: in cases of stronger reactions i apply topical antihistamines resp. suggest my clients to apply that.

Beate

Cetirizine is a great non sedating choice, and only one 10mg dose per day is needed. If itching is involved I would opt for diphenhydramine or hydroxyzine.

Yesterday (1 week after 1 hour of maintain)

Probably this one has been the last one clearance in the chest, stomach and abdomen of this boy before the season of baths. We will do one more clearance in the shoulders and will finish the back.

The treatment has lasted 8 months (September 2010- May 2011). Some hair will appear during the next months, but we can predict that it will not be any more than 5 % of the initial total.

I decided to initiate this thread to demonstrate to LAgirl and to all the readers of Hairtell that the cost of the Electrolysis can be the same that the Laser.

This case is one of the thousands of cases every day are made successfully by electrologists scattered around the world.

The electrologist makes an important social work. Some call it the miracle of Electrolysis, but in reality is the fruit of hard work.

I thought I dedicate this work to all those who suffer from excess hair, but I changed my mind. I dedicate this work to all my colleagues, and especially to you, Arlene.

This is just astonishing result! Great.

I allso started treatments on back/shoulders and neck with a very experienced electrologist a month ago, hopefully the outcome after 9 months will look like this. My disatvantage is, that the hair was lasered 2,5 months before and is still regrowing :frowning:

Have maybe a silly question - did you have some patient that there was not possible to get rid of the hair?

Once again, great work. This work helps especially people who have extreme bodyhair growth - make their life happyer.

This is not a silly question, Miro. On the contrary, is a logical question many people ask themselves.

And the answer is emphatically, NO. On this occasion, I will use the words of Michael B, Electrolysis is foolproof if the needle is in the follicle and the pattern of coagulation reaches the target area.
There are factors other than the Electrolysis that can influence other follicles in the area, become an invisible hair in another visible, but the follicle treated, never, never will back produce a hair again.

beautiful, beautiful work josefa, hopefully consumers will stop think of electrolysis as some archaic process. i would say about 99% of body work i have done are on ex laser clients. (not classing all lasers the same as always down to operator and machine, yes i know some people get great results) however the male clients i have treated have often spented years and thousands going from one laser to other, only to start electrolysis and wished they had done this as a first option. well done for a great documentation …

Electrolysis is indeed an archaic process… but effective.

I would go for electrolysis for my treatments from the very begining, but for a reason I am not sure, there’s just a bunch of electrologyst in Middle East and Asia combined, and out of those, none is willing to trat males.

I would love to have the results I see in the pictures of this topic, however laser by nature and design can never reach that level.
