So, I went for a 15 minute session today on the sides of my chin, which is the start of my problem area. I want to go horizontally down my face and up my cheeks. I have alot of facial hair.
I thought my electrolysist removed alot of hair in 15 minutes and can see the spots that are mostly cleared. There are still some stubble hairs though.
It hurt more than at my consultation. It felt like a sharp heat sensation. It felt like she had to tug on hairs to get them out, is that okay?
She used a machine where you have to step on something to get the current. I don’t know if she changed probes in between me and my sister’s treatments.
My sister used ice first and said that really helped ease pain, so I will definitely use it next time. I am only doing 15 minutes right now, so the ice shouldn’t wear off too fast. I also drank alot of water before I went.
After I was done she put aloe Vera on with cotton balls and left it there for 15 minutes while my sister had her session. That felt good and cold, then she put caladryl on and told me I could use that as needed.
She said witch hazel dries the skin.
On the way home the area I had done felt stingy, puffy and sore. I didn’t have any redness though.
She does use a magnifying glass mirror with a light. She doesn’t wear a mask, but this glass mirror is between us.
She doesn’t wear gloves, she likes to touch the area and feel the hair while she is doing it. She answered her cell phone for a personal call and talked on it while she was working on me. She only talked for a couple minutes and it didn’t seem to slow her down though, she told them she was working and had to go.
I am very upset about the gloves and her touching her cell while continuing to work on me.
She charges $24 for 15 minutes, is that the going rate?
I do like her and just hope it works!
She said I will see re growth, the hair may be a little finer, but since I have a worser case it will take awhile.
What should I be looking for to make sure it’s working? I don’t want to go for a year and find out it didn’t work.
If I didn’t get red, can I still soon and can I still be in the future?
My face now still feels a little sore with some cotton on it.
Thanks so much for the help!
