I do not know how this will be viewed, but the following is an excellent
source of electrolysis in my opinion, have now about 235 total hours on my
face with the Electrology Institute Clinic. This is a school for training
electrologists, so the work is done by students. Fortunately only the senior
most students are permitted to work on faces (student who have 600+ hours of
experience). But you can have your electrolysis done, with a substantial
reduction in cost.

Electrology Institute Clinic
1501 Main Street
Suite 50
Tewskbury, MA
978-851-4444
Normally access to the clinic is given by a friend who goes there,
OR, by a referral from your therapist (ask your therapist to call). You
cannot walk in from the street and expect treatment. Be prepared to disclose
transition info : Doctor, Endocrinologist, Therapist, Hormone regimen. If
you are totally honest they can work up a treatment methodology around your
own personal needs. The instructors have many many years of experience
dealing with transwomen. So you will not be new to them. -

Please state your opinion about this electrologist:
Advantages:
Inexpensive (I pay $30 for 2.5 hours of treatments).
All equipment is latest and state-of-the-art epilator machines.
Ability to book long sessions (I was able to do about 200 hours in
the space of one year).
Can use whatever modality you request (if you said I only wanted
Galvanic, then they will do this. And God bless you if this is your
approach).
They work on numerous trans women (and even some straight men who
hate shaving!) and have many years of experience.
I always booked long sessions and after my face was cleared (around 200
hours), i was able to use the rest of the time for electrolysis in other
areas (eyebrows, chest hairs, bully button hairs, legs, etc). It’s been like
E2000 on a budget <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Disadvantages:
Since work is performed by students, progress will be a bit slower
than from a professional electrologist with years and year of experience in
facial hair removal.
NEVER miss a session or show up late, OR you will lose forever the
ability to get prime time electrolysis spots, like nights and Saturdays for
those of us who work.
If you are not living full time, you will be required to appear in
male mode.
The rules and requirements to me were very minor compared to the quality and
amount of work I have been able to do. At roughly 4 hours per week, it
really does not take long to clear the face to maintenance mode. I had about
40 hours of thermolysis before starting at the clinic in February of 2003.
By April, and through sheer force of will (I wanted the hairs gone), I was
able to stop shaving in May. I was booking 6-9 hours of treatments per week
with an out of pocket cost of $90 per week for 9 hours! For the next several
months, electrolysis has been in maintenance. The clinic was also able to
work the treatment methodology around my FFS, which meant after I healed
from surgery, I was able to begin living full time as soon as I wanted to. I
was able in that case to book 30 hours of treatments in one week prior to
FFS to achieving a complete clearing.
