I have been being treated since 2002 for my upper lip and chin. In the beginning, I was plucking the dark hairs on my chin everyday. Once I started electrolysis I went every week for a long time. It is 7 years later and I still have a clearing every month due to regrowth. Other hairs have become thinner. My question is, I am currently out of the country and not receiving treatments and the hair seems to still be there and the only thing I do at this point is cut the hairs and it is driving me crazy. The electrologist told me in the beginning of treatment 7 years ago I would be hair free. Whenever I bring this up, she says hormones, pregnancy etc are all factors. What gives? Do I need to change electrologists?
This does sound excessive. I have one client who comes about every six weeks, and has for several years, due to PCOS. In 15 mins I clear everything and this is mainly new growth. This site always recomends trying a few operaters because if you have only ever had treatment with one, you have nothing to compare with. My saddest case ever, had two weekly treatments for 30 years, and could see more change in a month, than in the previous 30 years. Sample a few this time to make sure, that you are having the best available. Please post back to let us know how you go.
Wow, I have been so hesitant to change because she is so Nice, but nice doesn’t help my pocketbook. Now since I have been out of the country when I come back I can have the chance to see someone else so she doesn’t know to compare. I feel bad, but what can I do. What could she be doing wrong? I do see a difference, but I thought it was permanent, and like I said to me it seems like the same dark hairs so this concerns me. Thanks for the info.
She is clearly working with some degree of accuracy, as you hair growth is now finer. The degree of accuracy is the issue. If an operater is only 10% accurate, you will require 10 times more treatments. That is not only costly financially but also emotionally.
