It is my understanding that the light color and low-density of your hair would contraindicate laser.

A couple of hours of electrolysis would “probably” clear your hair, and several (unknown number) clearances over the next 12-18 months should complete it. Keep in mind that your hair follicles may not be finished showing you all the hair that you will grow - as from your physique, you look young, and hair growth can show up into middle age.

Well, you are younger than, say, 23 years old? The hairs are “intermediate,” sometimes called “shooters” (because they will be shooting up). This is a tough period, because these light hairs should not be lasered because they are too light and the stimulation will probably darken them.

Also, hairs are mostly too fine for electrolysis. Besides, you still cannot be sure which ones will be shooting, and which ones won’t. So, what do I do with patients in this situation?

I will remove (electrolysis) the darker hairs as they come in: it’s pretty easy for electrologists to differentiate these hairs. This is not going to take very long at all, but you will have to stay with it for the next few years (as specific hairs mature to true terminal hairs).

I only have one recommendation in Germany, and she lives in Köln. Oh, and another in the Wiesbaden area. (Aber, die Frau im Köln ist besser. Sie heißt Ermtraud Feyen. Du kannst mir PM schreiben.) As you can see, my German is silly, but understandable.

Oh … DO NOT WAX!!

Hey, ye i am young, 21 right now. okey i see laser isnt option yet, i might try electrolysis soon when it gets worse. Thanks for advice. I suppose i will shave till i get electrolysis then :slight_smile:

Try clipping, not saving to skin level. Get a “hair clipper” from Braun (they make nice ones) with the attachment to keep the hairs about 2 - 4 mm in length. The hairs cannot be seen and such “shaving” will not stimulate them. (Bist Du Deutscher?)

I got bodygroomer already. whats the difference between shaving and clipping them? or just no ingrowns? Na im not german, but i do understand you, can speak slightly aswell

Michael, could you please answer why do you think that hairs are mostly too fine for electrolysis. If some women even remove their peach-fuzz from their faces with electrolysis, why are these hairs too fine for electrolysis?

why are these hairs too fine for electrolysis?

Imagine in a field of 100 fine hairs that only 20 will become terminal hairs. What a waste of time and $$ to remove all 100 of these. Wait 'til they mature and then zap them. (20/100 is about the right proportion.)
