Hi everyone. I’m new to electrolysis and have a few questions. I’m a 27 year old female with PCOS and male pattern beard growth on my face. My hormones are in check (for the moment) and I have become so frustrated with other non permanent methods of hair removal that I am ready to try electrolysis.
I had my first consultation last week and the lady I saw seems to be a good choice. She has 20 years of experience, was more than willing to sit there and answer my questions for 45 minutes, and did a test session for me once I ran out of questions. The place was clean. She used an Apilus Senior 2 and a 3 gauge needle. The pain was minimal, I could not feel the insertions, and there was no plucking sensation when she pulled the hair out of the follicle. In general, my skin handled it well and I feel like her skill played a big part in that. She worked on me for five or ten minutes and there is one spot of discoloration and one small scab that has already fallen off. Otherwise, I couldn’t even find the other spots where she removed hair. I’m looking for reassurance that this discoloration is normal. Pictures will follow in the next post because I realized I have to resize them.
