part 2: NEED SOME HELP with electrolysis (and laser?).
(NB:check up "emotional support for part 1)
hi all, thats my situation:
It s been 2 years since I first posted on this board.
Back then, i had the same problem i have now, only with less coarse hair and slower growth rates.
Here is my situation now: I am a male, age 21, with :
1)A unibrow (plucking at a rate of 1 time every 3 days)
2)Hair ON my nose (shaving daily or else it is noticeable)
3)A dense coarse-haired beard, requiring daily shaving.(I look unshaved by day 2, in fact, when i shave in the morning, my face remains dark,beacause of the coarseness…)
here is what i would like to do:
a)Electrolysis on the nose for total 100% hair free skin.
-how long do you think it takes?
b)Electrolysis between my two eyebrows: the idea is to get rid of the coarse hair,not completely clearing the area but making it look lighter by getting rid of the coarse hair would be great…
(a lot of men have a unibrow, but it doesnt look like a unibrow as the hair is lighter…if you get the picture…)
c)Having a beard is normal, and i like it, but mine is so coarse I ABSOLUTELY NEED to shave it on a daily basis so as to look ok (seriously, if i shave i look good, if i dont i look HORRIBLE…as simple as that).
Moreover, my beard is so coarse i get RAZOR burns each and every time i shave, and it looks so red when i shave daily…
Really, when i shave daily, it often …hurts.That s just how coarse it is.
—>>> My plan is to reduce the amount of hair and it s coarseness with laser…
But it sounds so scarry:
-does it hurt
-permanent damage?? seriously with my coarseness i imagine burning my skin is almost certain
-more hair instead of less???
-Can you have a social life while having treatments.Is it noticeable? for how long?
-My scin type is like (robert deniro) or al paccino, but the hair is more BLACK.What type of laser is best?
d)At last, I live in Belgium, which means i dont have much choice.
I ve spoted only one electrologist.and It is a beauty institute.Don t think it is run by a medic.
Any hints on how i can find electrologysts around here?
e)Would you say confronting a dermatopathologist is necessary?my guess is it is genetic.And With all the terrible things happening on people i m afraid he (or she ) wont understand how important this is to me.I don t know if i have the strenght to talk to a doctor about it…moreover how updated are they with those modern techniques…
