Hair Removal Methods Professional Electrolysis

I thought it was about time I checked in!
This site has been wonderful for me…let me start with that. I was given great facts, some BS, met some great ppl!!!

Anyways I lose track of time, but i beleieve Im two years into my journey of being hair free!!!

I started electro and went into it fast and hard. I KNEW i had to give it my all to get results. I was a full bearded woman, with all the typical male hair growth, on chin face neck nipples tummy chest!
I made the choice to do electro after seein and endo and finding out about my PCOD. She was all for hair removal and WEIGHT LOSS!!! KNowning both would change my life I began my journey.
I would go to electro at least twice a week sometimes 4 or 5 hours a week for MONTHS! I remember the joy of that first clearance. My electrologist has sense told me she was concerned for my skin but I have come out SCAR free!!! It took over a year to not have to go at least once a week, but those first few months were hell!!!
NOW I see her every three weeks, a session takes 15-30 minutes for full clearance. I no longer get ingrowns. Its a lot of work on the white hairs, not the fine ones, the course ones. I have not shaved in at least a year!!! I wear my hair up!!! I do not buy razors in bulk. People can hug me or ask me about my hair removal journey! IM free!!! I realize I have a time left to work on this hair, i might see her for years still but not for five hours a week!!! YAY!!!
I also have changed my diet and excercise. I started the hair removal at 215. Active, but just mildly! Now I work out daily for at least 45 minutes. I have cut out all or MOST carbs!! CARBS are bad for PCOD> My sugar intake is also very very low. Im proud to say that sense june I have lost sixty five pounds! I am in a size 11 from a 20! I am new woman!!!
Without electro I would still be hiding behind a mask of hair!! I would still be doing all those little things that took up so much of my time and esteem!!!
I suggest electro for anyone that is TO HAIRY!!! But i really KNOW that my diet and excercise the full life style change has been the key factor! My hair growth everywhere is slower. My hormones are at all basic line levels without meds! Just the BCP! But that is mostly because I dont want babies!!! LOL

Thanks for allowing me to share. And thanks to all who have supported me on this journey! This site is wonderful and I have suggested it to MANY ppl!

Good morning!
I have never been a soda drinker so there is no need to cut out sugar free diet sodas. I cannot say I never use sugar supplement, I do use it very rarely in ice tea, and did try the sugar free coffee creamer…BLAH, Ill stick to the non fat!!!

I just want everyone to have such a wonderful progression with electro! I have worked very hard! This is by far one of the best things I could have done for myself. I really have had to readjust my mind process, first to deal with the pain, the after math, and prep of electro. So many days I just wanted to give up, or after two hours of being treated, I would walk to my car and just sit there and CRY!!! At the time it felt like I was crying for the hours lost in electro from my family or personal life, but i think now I actually had to go through some grieving in order to let the hair go. I had lived with it for twenty years, it was a huge part of who I was! Letting go and moving on ment I had to find other parts of my personality and let those parts shine!
I went back to my endo and she congratulated me on my hair removal success and said BUT BETSY take care of your body! This is when I went oh SH*T she is so right! Hence the lifestyle change, I never went on a diet, I knew I had to cut out carbs but I never choose a diet plan! This is just who I am now!
My goal was to get to a size 13 by June, I passed that, 160 by June, passed! And to run a fun race in 2011. Im doing a 5K in February!
To anyone who questions electrology I say this, find someone you trust, get a good long consultation, talk to others, make sure the outfit is clean and comfortable. Ask to talk to other clients. And then fully enjoy the results of a commited quest. I hear so many ppl say “it doesnt work” I ask what is your schedule for hair removal, they say oh i go 15 minutes every week or two, I just shake my head, read about hair grwoth cycles, you will know why you must jump in with two feet and be dilligent!
Im close to forty and I wish I would have done this ten years ago, but its never to late. Im in the best shape of my life, and I enjoy it all without stubble or a 5 oclock shadow.
The work I do now is mostly on these course white hairs, that let me tell you have grown to at least an inch. I do not spend a lot of time looking at them but when I do, oh goodness! I end up trimming them a bit!!!

Happy Monday!!!

I know this is an old post but I had to comment because your story is so similar to my daughter’s who is at last getting her confidence back and is moving on in life. thick hair all gone and we are concentrating on finer ones now.
