Please let me know about experiences (good or bad)!!!
Hiya,
I know that this is not what you are asking for and I’m sorry I can’t comment on Laser. My sister has a lot of hair between her eyebrows and she is starting electrolysis for it (as well as other places on the face). We were actually discussing how electrolysis will make it look completely natural as each hair to be removed is selected individually.
Given that Laser is a spot of fixed size, it would be difficult to shape where you don’t want to remove on the inner corners of the eyebrow. Not only that but most people have very fine hairs all over their forehead, only doing between the brows might make it obviously less hairy than the rest although this is just a guess.
I agree, I’m all for laser but I think this is one area best left for electrolysis.
You can easily remove the mass of the hair between the eyebrows, but maneuvering to get more than the big square in the middle is very hard.
Electrolysis is easy to do on this area - PicoFlash or MicroFlash thermolysis makes it really safe and easy.
This was the only area I had treated, prior to my own training. I then proceeded to have the entire brows done, and over 30 years later, still tell my clients that is was one of the best things I ever did. Very wayward eyebrows run in my family. For brows that require frequent tweezing or waxing it is very liberating, and frees up a lot of time. I used to tweeze mine daily, and they still always looked messy,from that grey shadow that some of us get, when part of the hair root doesn’t come out completely.
I had mine done with laser - and saw good results. From over plucking the hair had become very course which meant the treatment worked really well by laser. hair has grown there now but its much much finer - really need to do some electrolysis to tidy up.
I had this done with electrolysis as well since shaping can’t be done with laser. The laser head is only a relatively large square or a circle, so you can treat between the eyebrows, but not anything else really. No precision possible.
can you please specify what treatment you used?
Who is your question for? What I said was that even though I had laser on many areas, I had my eyebrows treated with electrolysis because there is shaping involved and laser can’t do that.
yes- i’ve just came back from my second session with the lightsheer diode, 6 weeks in between.
i’m part pakistani and have in-sanely coarse, huge eyebrows, even by guy standards. the (h)area inbetween is about 3x3cm.
i used to have to pluck there every single day, and six weeks after the first session i am left with this, around 30%, so i’m optimistic. 
the skin is still sore as you can see but is WAY less ‘greyer’ and feels a lot better, probably as it has finally got a break from two decades of over-zealous tweezing & waxing! i don’t have a ‘before’ pic but believe me it was a lot.
mine grow very messily now due to said tweezing, i am going for electrolysis for the hairs immediately around the brow, to tidy them up/shape them.
if you have a lot there, i would say go for it to get rid of the bulk as it’s quicker than electrolysis, then finish up with electrolysis if the hairs become too fine for laser.
make sure you outline the area to be treated with a white chinagraph pencil- either do it yourself or check it- the first time the ‘expert’ did it and ended up taking the beginning of my right eyebrow with it- which i am still waiting on growing back, if it ever does. it should be precision. you can also ask them to draw a grid on so they hopefully don’t miss any spots.
for my brows, i was told to expect 15-20 sessions of electrolysis every 2/3 weeks until the hairs are gone. i’m not sure if this is normal, 20x seems like a lot.

That’s a photo right after the treatment? Is the hair not shaved prior to treatments? It should be.

It doesn’t make sense to me to go for laser and electrolysis on the eyebrows at the same time. If you’re already going for electrolysis for a part of your eyebrow, then have them do this part in between at the same time. It’s cheaper for longer sessions anyway.

The way you should be doing electrolysis is having longer treatments at the beginning to remove ALL hairs that bother you. After that, you come in as soon as new hairs pop up to kill them. That way, you’re constantly hairfree and you’re killing hair while it’s weak. This way, you’ll probably come in every 2 weeks to start, but it will quickly slow down to every 3-4 weeks and then less frequent than that, and your treatment times will get much shorter very fast.

Also, thermolysis is faster than blend.
nonono, that’s the day BEFORE the 2nd treatment. yes area was shaved. next time i’ll do it myself tho!
the laser/electrolygists insisted to do inbetween with laser- as there was so much hair there, it would only take 1min x5 to zap it, as opposed to 45 mins x20 with electrolysis. i would go laser all the way but of course they won’t laser UNDER the brows, that’s the reason i am having electrolysis.
the electrolysis is expensive at 45mins/65gbp, i can’t afford thatx2. i go to this place as they send the bill directly to my health insurance.
i am going for the electrolysis every two weeks, but a lot grows back. after this 2nd laser session i will see how many hairs are left, if there aren’t many then yes i will get them done via electrolysis too, hopefully by that time less is growing.
settings on the lightsheer screen were 30j/15,30. she was apprehensive to give me them, so i looked myself.
how does returning for laser just four weeks after treatment sound? at the place i was at today, she was really insistent with not much factual backing- said something like “if you leave it longer the previous session won’t have effect”. verbal bs maybe? so long as it works i can ignore her drivel.
thank you for the advice lagirl.

Treating every 4 weeks is too early. You shouldn’t have anything to treat at that point. Hair should shed by 3 weeks and then you should have a hairfree period. The earliest you should have enough hair to treat is 6 weeks on the face because it has relatively short hair cycles. But after a couple treatments, you shouldn’t need them more often than once every 8-12 weeks.

You’re using blend electrolysis, which is much slower than thermolysis. Thermolysis treats 5-10 hairs per minute. If you can find someone using that, it would be cheaper.
