So I’m finally taking the plunge and going for electrolysis on my face and bellybutton! I’m currently looking for an Electrologist in NYC. Based on my picture below what kind of machine or modality should I be looking for during my consultations? I have fine but dark and plentiful hair on my cheeks and sideburns. Thanks!!
Hiya,
Congrats on taking the first step. From your pic it looks like you could start seeing good results quite soon
I would say that the skill of the electrologist is far more important than the machine or modality. You will want to find someone who can do good work and keep your skin looking good, even if not the fastest.
You will only find this out by going for consultations! 
Apilus Platinum or Apilus Platinum Pure / Picoflash.
After the first 10 minutes of work, you would sleep peacefully while your fine hairs say: bye bye forever.
This will not be particularly difficult. Find someone who has good magnification (lupe glasses) and a thermolysis machine. You could probably even get away with blend it’s such a small area. I agree with the previous poster who said that skin quality is more important than speed here, since it’s your FACE!
Just started a case like yours on a seventeen year old. It will take about three hours to clear both sides of all bothersome hair. I am using PicoFlash thermolysis with automatic timing. If you can find someone with a good set up that can see those hairs well, then you are in like flint. MicroFlash thermolysis would be great, too. If you can’t find a good flasher electrologist, then a blend electrologist would be my next choice. For cases like yours, I have never needed to use blend. All goes superbly well with the modern epilators that offer MicroFlash and PicoFlash thermolysis and the client is well-pleased at getting the hair off as fast as possible. This is highly possible to do and the healing is fabulous. I am talking about skill here to achieve the highly possible.
Thanks for all of the replies, I have a better understanding now. I was under the impression that a certain type of modality was needed to treat a certain type of hair or area. I’m trying to get a consultation as soon as my school and work schedule gives me a chance. I hope I can get a clearance as quickly as possible, although I think my picture is deceiving. I do have fuzzy hair all over my cheeks, it’s just fine.
So I finally started my electrolysis journey! I’m so excited. I have had 1.5. hours done already. I will hopefully be starting a treatment diary soon. Don’t be fooled my the pic above, although my hair is fine I have dark fuzz over my entire face.
Hi Jezebel, does your electrologist have an Apilus and how much did you get cleared in 1.5 hours?
