Electrolysis on Thighs - advice needed

Hi guys,

Starting electrolysis on my thighs. I had my first appointment on 1 thigh which was 45 minutes. I will need the same again to completley clear the one thigh and then 2 45 min treatments to completley clear the other thigh.

My question is: If i am focused on clearing the second thigh over 2 treatments (so 2 weeks) and am not treating the regrowth on the first thigh am I lessening my chances of effectively removing the hair? How long can you leave regrowth? I don’t know if I should book for longer slots than an hour and maybe go twice a week to begin with for total clearance and then ‘maintenance’ will be easier

If anyone has had any success in this area I would love to hear and find some reassurance. I’m worried I am doing the wrong thing by not getting laser as it’s such a big area to tackle with electrolysis. I just don’t trust laser as much because of previous failed attempts on other areas!

Just want to feel like I’m doing the best I can in overcoming this problem :frowning: and am so worried thighs are too big an area to tackle.

Don’t worry about it. Two week’s delay is not going to pose any problems.

First of all…the hairs you see growing after a clearance is not “regrowth”…it is new growth. Regrowth is basically saying that the treated hairs have returned.

Second, Caith is right on with the answer. You are being consistent, which will get you completed faster than if you were waiting many months between treatments.

thank you both so much for the encouragement, i just panic that I am not doing it correctly sometimes and when you put so much time and money into something you like to know you are doing the best you can. heres hoping 2012 brings some positive results!

was the treatment successful?
