Does anyone know of any reputable electrologists in WNY or Buffalo, NY area?
I’ve been to two in the past. One in Williamsville, straight needle method and after months of bi-weekly visits I didn’t see any difference in regrowth. Second was curved needle (galvanic-?) method. Mother and daughter team. Seemed to be working better and daughter was great but mother would extend appointment without asking and I couldn’t afford the unplanned extra so I stopped going.
Now I wax. Every day. Tweeze and bleach too of course. I beleive it is genetic as it seems to run in my family.
I am speaking of female facial hair. Light skinned, dark haired and desperate for help! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> [color:“red”] [/color]
Okay,time to toot the horn loud and clear. You are very lucky to have the very best right at your doorstep in the Buffalo area. I’m talking about the one and only James Walker. Read all his posts here on hairtell and you will understand what I am saying.
The immediate problem is, James is now “Walker, Texas Ranger”. Just a joke everyone, he’s not into that much mischief. He’s seriously working hard performing electrolysis in Texas for the immediate now so you can’t get started seeing him right away, unfortunately.
I’d give him a call if I were you or you can go to his profile and e-mail him to see when he’ll be returning to Buffalo.

Hi all!
I recently had my first clearance of my face above the jaw line, done in the comfort of my easy chair by James Walker (thermolysis, and a little blend). It took 13 hours to clear more than 7700 hairs. Doing the math, that’s 592 hairs/hour. I was conscious the whole time, using just a bit of lidocaine on the center of the upper lip (didn’t work - too little percentage). It was helpful to have movies to watch on DVD as a distraction. I have a low pain threshold and while some areas hurt more than others (and often pulling the hair out hurt more than zapping it), it was tolerable. My face was a bit red afterwards but considerably puffed up (as if I’d eaten something I was allergic to) but this noticeably subsided in a day and was back to normal in three days. No scarring that I can see. Three weeks out and there is little regrowth yet; we’ll see what six weeks will bring. If not much more than what has regrown to date, then the rest of the clearances will be a lot easier and shorter.
May it all be so easy! For the neck I bought EMLA, however

let me add this image.
DISCLAIMER: James Walker did not ask me to post this, nor am I receiving any compensation or other consideration from James for this posting. Furthermore, the image has NOT been retouched in any fashion.
This image was taken three weeks after my first clearance above the jaw line, and represents two-and-a-half days of beard growth. The original coverage above the jaw line was a little less than what you see on the chin, but not by a lot.
I’m very pleased with the first clearance and we may be able to do the follow on clearances on an 8-week schedule, and I hope not much more hair comes in on the face (especially in the middle between nose and top lip). Obviously the chin and neck need their first clearance. Of course I’m hoping for the low estimate on total time to do the full clearance. As stated before, the facial clearance took 13 hours, not under anesthetic.
May we all have successful clearances!
Ellen
PS. Hope the image is attached!
