Diary of a Scandinavian guy

Hair Removal Methods Professional Electrolysis
#101

Okay … thanks.

My own preference would have been to make the pattern smaller and maintain almost the density as on the legs (maybe reduce the density by only 1/3 or so). I sort of thought I could do that, but there ended up not being enough hair. Still, I do see that it looks better. Again, the client is happy and that’s all that matters.

If you are doing feet and toes … “beware” these get hyperpigmentation (PIH) easily … of course this is ONLY temporary. Gosh, I don’t what to give you MORE to worry about. This patient only got a small amount of PIH on the toes. If you look very closely, you can probably still see a bit of it.

You do not worry me, Michael. If anything, you have just illustrated that electrolysis is the way to go for the hair reduction I seek (you’ve seen some quality pictures, so I think you would agree). I’d much rather be aware of the temporary side effects beforehand. That way, it won’t come as a surprise to me if I experience hyperpigmentation. I am DONE taking chances with IPL and lasers after my stimulation-induced treatment(s) here in Scandinavia (yes, I got it too).

Again, thank you for taking the time to thoroughly inform us in need. Being excessively hairy is definitely not easy.

Actually, I was an “ape” too, and that’s what propelled me into this profession. After 35 years I still have no chest or back hair. And, as I’m old now, there is a funny advantage to this.

See, my face is wrinkled, mangled, “crusted” and weather-beaten … but when I take my clothes off, I actually look younger. I work out and swim, so I’m in reasonable shape. The point is that at this stage of life, I probably would have long, thick WHITE hairs all over my back and chest. Having the hair would probably keep me from swimming and other activities?

Okay, so the “face” doesn’t match the body but that’s fine. Of course this doesn’t do me “any good at all,” (if you know what I mean). Still, it’s nice to consider the unlikely possibilities … very unlikely … actually impossible.

So, get the hair off now and avoid becoming a “silver-back” when the body hairs turn WHITE! Now, that’s just gross! You know, maybe getting the hair removed benefits your health since you are more likely to exercise? Could be?

Very true Michael. Perhaps these images will also help to understand:

This is the point where we stopped the first time because there was no time for more Electrolysis (8 months ago). I noted in black natural pattern transition in Boy’s thigh, and the pattern of reduction due to electrolysis.


#105

Impossible to apply this strategy in this case Michael. Boy’s hair is an atypical case. It is a hair type “lanugo”, I bet if we analyze, we would not find many with medulla. I can work on him for hours and all I can see are a dozen of hairs in anagen. If I were to call these hairs, I would call it “Pure virgin wool”.
In fact, Boy1989, says feel colder since we’ve eliminated almost all the hairs on his upper body. And this is not the first time I heard this. I bet you too have heard this before. Ah, Nature is very WISE when it comes to ensuring human survival in the wild. Too bad we will not be able to reciprocate.

#106

I also want to say a few words about the possibility of a natural transition from the thighs to the lower legs.

In the photo I posted of my upper leg the transition doesn’t seem natural. First of all, this is because the electrolysis stopped way to high on the thighs(due to not enought time in my last trip to finish). If we had done one clearing on the thighs until we had reached the knees I think it immediately would look way more natural. Then one could select some hairs in the transition from the knee to the lower leg, and the transition would have been perfect!
The fact that Josefa has an extremely high kill rate of hairs doesn’t ruin the posibility of a natural transition.

However, I want to have a big reduction of the hairs on my legs. After seeing the reduction I got after one clearing on my arms, I know I will be VERY satisfied with one full clearing on the legs :slight_smile:

I think it is very individual how much hairs a person wants and what looks natural on one person may look very unatural on another.
Josefa and I have talked a lot about this. I think it will look very natural :slight_smile:

Day 12 of treatments in the fourth trip.

As we speak Im lying on the bench getting treated by Josefa, using her iPad. Our goal today is to remove as much as possible on the back of the legs, until we reach the start of the buttocks. (also known as the “Madonna Mía”-área. Michael Bono will know what Im talking about)

Here is the área before today.

We will upload a new photo at the end of the day.

#108

Yes! Even “Madonna Mia … Pizzeria!”

#109

After 7,5 hours of electrolysis with Josefa, this is the result:

We also finished the last clearance on the chest, and did an area right under the buttocks.
It is amazing how much can be done in only 1 day…

Mi Hummingbird, you are AMAZING… AMAZING!!

Ha ha ha Michael, Boy1989 has a repertoire of new and very funny terms for use in Electrology. Who could forget the word cataphoresis, if you associate it with the fact petting a cat … I’m afraid that now you have a strong competitor!.

A “Madonna Mia area”: is an area with VERY dense long hairs.
A “Nightmare area”: is an area with many fine hairs, long, and only visible in darkness.
A “Gilipollo client” (this is the best):is a client who misses his appointment of two hours, and then wants to steal time of booking Boy has done.

ha ha ha, I do not know if I’m more tired of removing hairs or of laugh today.

#111

One more clearance and he would practically be done, if that’s what one wanted practically. Still that does look natural, moreso because of the leg hair I guess and it being a noticeable reduction but transition to leg looks good too. I also second when I did upper arms with Jose, I thought shit did I mention I would like it to look as natural as possible, with her high kill rate I was a bit nervous, needless to say it’s coming on well and I have yet to update. My legs are loads hairy than boys and possibly much longer(all the way up), picking out hairs on a large area already makes a time intensive job, well excruciatingly more time intensive. I’d go with full clearance and what comes back comes back then decide. Small areas, sure thin away we have time, have fun. :slight_smile: good job Michael.

Day 13.

The goal of today is to remove as much as posible on the buttocks.
However, there will be NO photo today! I think its best to leave it to the imaginación.

We will also advance more in the legs and maybe do a little more to completely finish the back.

#113

lol

#114

Well, my dear friend Boy1989, a week and you will be FREE … finally!

How many good times we shared!

#115

Oh Jossie, I love the video!:slight_smile:

#116

Day 14.

Today we will advance more in the legs and buttocks. We will also do the third clearance in the feet.

#117

8 minutes for the third clearance in the feet!

#118

Day 15.

Today we will try to finish with the legs.

Maybe I will be the first guy to have every centimeter of my body (by the way, I am 182cm),except axila and pubic area, treated with electrolysis?:slight_smile:

#119

Well done boy1989! :slight_smile: May I ask how many hours have you spend under the needle then?

#120

Before this trip (the 4th trip) I had 250 hours of electrolysis.

Josefa had then done 3 or 2 clearances on:
All of back, chest, stomach, shoulders, lower and upper arms, hands, all of the neck, upper chin, and feet.
We had also done 1 clearing on the buttocks and a big part of the upper legs.

It is important to notice that:
All of the above zones have been connected and every centimeter of the upper body have been done with electrolysis (without the armpits).
She has also removed absolutely every hair, including the very fine hairs that would develop in the future.

I will give you the exact number after this trip, but I think it will be approximately 350 hours. Then we will have done almost every centimeter of the whole body.

Jossie says that Im her “Sagrada Familia”, the big work by Gaudí. So I am her cathedral:D
