Hello!
I’m 29 and live in Moscow. I am not covered with hair from head to toes, but what I have on my legs is not ok for me. I have dark hair and pale skin, so every single dark hair is very visible on my skin. When I decided to make some permanent epilation, I thought about photoepilation. But my dermatologist told me my skin is to sensitive for it. I think it is true, I never can be tanned, I just become sun burned. My skin is very thin and there are a lot of blood vessels under it.
So I was recomended to make electolysis and began last November. It is a good “professional epilation center” in the center of Moscow. All technician have medical education. Good hygiene, golden needles, veeery expensive. Till now I’ve got 4 procedures on my armpits, legs, stomach and bikini. Second one was in April, and the result could be seen easily - 50 % hair was gone. But then I had third procedure in May and forth in June and what I see now looks like about 25 % hair was gone and 25 % reappeared but now they are thinner and not so dark. I have read here about phases of growth of hair etc. My specialist remove all the hair she see, no matter whether they are dark or not, fully grown or just 1-2 mm, sometimes even the hair I can’t see, they are still under the skin and she somehow removes them. I am not sure this is the right thing to do.
And perhaps someone knows some good specialist here in Moscow? I have not some much time to finish epilation. Next year I will move to Spain for work and want to get rid of my hair. ))
