I did it! Where there's a will there's a way!

So those of you who have followed my adventures in electrolysis know that because I DIY, there is one area I just cant do myself, the area under the chin and jaw line. For under the jaw line what I’ve been doing is pulling the skin up over the jaw, this allows me to get at least an inch to an inch and a half under the jawline.

The reason this is important is the person I have had working there, is my partner. Unfortunately he works and doesnt live with me, I get to see him at best once a week.Even then, often we have other things to do. My free time while the kids are in school was useless to me in getting this area completed.

Today was experimentation day. I was determined to find a way to bring the skin on my neck into view of my mirror so I can work on it. What I discovered was, if I pinch the skin between two fingers I can pull it completely into view. Fantastic! I can work!

Now it’s exremely awkward. One limitation I found was usually the skin is bunched up making insertions a little more difficult than if the skin was stretched. The other is this completely ties up one hand, leaving the other to switch between tweezers and probe. But being able to work at all in an area previously locked away from me, GOLDEN!

that’s exactly how I reached under my chin. I have been struggling with the very back between my jaw and my ears, that hair wraps all the way around back. I just found an angle that works for there also, I have to make sure and get all the light I can onto the area.

Alot of water under the bridge between when I wrote this and now, and I have to say, I’m still pretty much a tthe mercy of my partner. He’s made some progress over time, but not alot. I still struggle with insertion angles and being able to see on my own.

The area you describe is especially difficult to work in and get the angles/ insertion right. MY face has been done for some time, but the neck notso much. I do try and knock a few out when I get movivated enough down there, but ealways end up with alot of bent probes and very few successful insertions.
