The pictures are scaled so you may have to zoom into the pics to see some of the hair better.
But yeah…this is a long post, but essentially I am asking what kind of hair removal method should I use on which body parts and what can I expect from using this hair removal method, particularly with electrolysis which is what I am considering (price, time spent getting results, etc…)
As you can see: my arms, legs and back of my neck are disgustingly hairy. As much as I’d like permanent hair removal and be smooth as…I’d be happy to have a significant reduction, like if arms and legs went from that to the middle, or even lower part of this arm:
I’d be more than happy enough with that…as long as my back, butt and neck are relatively smooth. my concerns are with electrolysis:
-
How much can get done in one session with that much hair.
-
The cost of getting all that done.
-
How many years it’ll take me to see a result similar to the one above.
Another thing is, I’ve already had laser hair removal (7 sessions) on my lower back and butt…it’s been a few good months, I think at least 3-4 since my last treatment. I’ll just give ya’all a link to this pic, I kept it decent as possible but still I don’t anyone really wants to look at my fat behind. xD
From what I can see, the hair where it was really thick is pretty much gone…the hair on the sides, which weren’t so thick…well, didn’t go over so well as you can see.
The other issue is my back hair…its by no means a carpet, but it is there and if you look at the picture the hair gives away where I got lasered and where I didn’t. Which is why I can’t laser my arms, because my upper arm hair while prominent is not thin enough to be lasered so there would be an unflattering patch if I just laser my lower arms…at least I’d think so. The hairs on my back are thin black hairs as you can see in these pics:
For some reason I couldn’t get a decent pic of my upper arm hair though I can assure you it’s much thicker than the back hair you see there. But yeah, these are definitely far too thin to be treated by laser.
Therefore I am considering electrolysis to treat my back and neck…but I have questions for what I should expect, like:
-
How many hours will it take to do all the back and neck?
-
About how many sessions should I expect the hairs to be at least 80-90% gone?..the back doesn’t have to be perfect, just a good enough reduction that I can bleach the remaining hairs to make it virtually unnoticeable without a microscope
-
How much can I expect it to cost me?
Also, I am not sure if I should start with electrolysis on my arms and legs or if I should just do laser to get rid of a huge heap of it first because I can only imagine the ridiculous amounts of hours or even years spent getting one whole leg done with the way it is now. Apart from the red dots, the results on my butt were not too bad…not outstanding, but a really significant reduction.
I am also considering some sort of oral med…I’m aware of two side effects that all of them have which are the growing of man boobs and the shrinking of genitalia. My logic is I can always remove the man boobs and I don’t really like sex anyway so impotence won’t be much of a loss for me lol…my libido is extremely low for a guy, in fact it is just about non-existent. but I don’t know, is there anything else I should know about oral meds?..I am assuming oral meds are much cheaper than electrolysis or LHR, because this one place I saw was offering permanent removal using electrolysis on the upper lip for like AU$1345 (I live in Australia)…see the link below for the ad:

Now call me crazy…but doesn’t that sound extremely expensive for JUSTthe upper lip? With that price on just an upper lip, I’m afraid I could be spending millions of dollars which is well…ridiculous to me, I would prefer not to spend more than AU$20,000.
I don’t know…I just need advice on what would be the best course of action to take with the kinds of hair I have and my budget. Essentially I am looking for:
*A reduction in arms and legs at the very least
*Little to no hair left on back, neck and bottom.
To anyone who bothered reading all this…thank you.
