I’ve been seeing my electrologist weekly in March and a couple weeks ago we decided to go biweekly beginning April. My problem is I can’t make my appt tomorrow and probably won’t be able to see her until next week. Will a delay of this sort affect my progress? Also, I quit tweezing and started shaving my side burns (mostly fine vellus hair) and feel very apprehensive about it worsening ;( some supportive advice is greatly appreciated. I really hate taking a razor to my face but if it means permanent removal in my near future then I’ll gladly do it! =)
Dont worry one week delay will not affect your progress.Shaving, cutting with scissors or using a trimmer will not make it worse, when you shave you are only cutting the hair and not interferring with the follicle. You might feel the hair to be thicker or look darker but this is only because when you cut or shave a hair you are removing the tapered end and cutting it to the middle point where it is thickest.
If you were to start delaying by longer times every time - then it would delay your completion. An occasional missed week will not affect your progress.
Thank you for your responses! =) I’m going through a lot right now as I was just diagnosed w/congestive heart failure ;( I’m hoping that I’ll be able to keep to my schedule but my increased drs appts and failing health are prohibiting that at the moment. I tried contacting my electrologist but haven’t been able to reach her and she hasn’t returned my call. Hopefully I’ll be able to re-schedule and make it to an appt w/her nxt week. Thanks again for the expertise!
