Hair Removal Methods Professional Electrolysis
#81

If you get the hair under control, the periodic touch ups will become shorter and farther in between.

I cleared a man with a testosterone problem who was growing hair out of 1,000 follicles per inch in the beard zone, and down his neck. When we cleared that all out, his body recruited formerly non-hair producing follicles to grow hair. The first two years were like rolling a boulder up hill only to watch it fall again as you can’t get up that last few feet. Then, we got to the point where he started coming in less and less. Now I see him once every 4 to 6 months for less than an hour.

Since he did not want to take medications to change his testosterone levels, an aggressive electrolysis program was the only choice for a clear face. He also loves the way the treatments have left him with tight, youthful looking skin.

Your job will get much farther, much faster, and you will enjoy clear skin with little maintenance in 9 to 12 months.

Hi June,

It seems you are happy with your electrologist. Please let us know about him/her. I am looking for an electrologist in San Jose area.

Thanks,

I’m thinking “Mary Lou” is June’s electrologist. THis may be her website:

June hopefully will come back and affirm this.

That´s the concern I´m having right now. Since I´m a male with little problem to get a muscular lean shape (Testosterone involved, I guess) I´m …but it seems regarding your experience that even in the worst case scenario(Testosterone issues in a male individual)it would be a matter of time and money.

Triying to kill two birds with one stone, I would like to ask to any profesional in the forum if you make a distinction between early age developed hair, like legs and arms, and hair developed at later stages like mid thirties. For example upper back, upper cheeks, shoulders, etc I´m beginning to develope that hair (thin and barely visible at the moment)

Thanks in advandce for your answers and forgive my bad english if you please.

I do not know if I understood your question.

Could this be the question?: “Can a hair development at puberty to be removed like a hair developed in adulthood?”

Or: “Testosterone prevents the success of treatment?”

As if the question is this, the answer is, YES, and emphatically NO.

Some hairs takes weeks of produce testosterone to become terminal hairs, other hairs take months and others take years.

Technically, the only difference between a hair developed sooner or later, is the size of the follicle that will be eliminated.

Hair stimulation in areas like the back late does not occur in the overnight, is a slow process that takes years to complete. The stimulation starts with focus on the shoulders, cervical vertebrae, both sides of the dorsal vertebrae and lumbosacral area. If the hypertrichosis is very serious, the perimeter of each focus rises slowly to join all focus.

I should´ve been more accurate when asking. What I meant is that since hairs on the back, shoulder, upper cheek, etc, are developed not as early as hairs on the legs, chin or forearms, if there was any difference on that areas once hair is zapped.

I´ve read about laser hair removal being more effective on areas that develope hair in the puberty than areas that will be developing hair through the aging process. The point some dermatologist have is like "you won´t need touch ups on legs or arms because that hair actually was developed and certainly you´ll need some touch ups from time to time on shoulders or back because are areas that will develope hair.

I just wanted to know if you, electrologists, did notice different behaviours between areas like legs and upper backs after the hairs are removed. Are areas like backs or shoulders more likely to experience some regrowth or having hairs that don´t seem to dissapear?

Woaw, what an unfocused post I just wrote!

I think the problem is that you’re asking the wrong question. Laser or electrolysis can’t tell what type of hair it is. It’s a machine. Laser only “cares” about how coarse and dark the hair is because it works by targeting/heating up the dark pigment. If the hair is coarse, you can do laser at any time. Electrolysis can work faster on finer hair because it tends to be weaker and easier to kill on the first try. Coarse hair may need a few zaps sometimes.

Neither method can prevent your body from developing new hair in the future. You’d have to get touchups on that hair once you develop it down the line.

Ah! yes, of course. Well-educated electrologists know that work on the back of the man or the breasts and face of women, can cause disappointment in customers.
For that reason, the information you give on the first visit is critical.
The electrologist devotes part of his valuable time to explain that these areas tend to get new hair.
The client seems to be understood, however, will quickly tell you, “the hairs are back” and the electrologist think “God, give me patience.”
Then you go back to explain the dynamics of our system hair once again.
Fortunately the French invented photography and our problems were solved. I have read a hundred times when James tells us how important it is to make a picture. It is the only way to check the evolution of our case and the skill of our electrologist.
