Hi…I am a 37 year old female with questions about electrolysis…I have been tested in the past for hormone problems and all tests came back negative…I am a few pounds overweight, but nothing big that would cause excessive hair growth, I was told I am just one of the “lucky ones”…my eyebrows and upper lip aren’t bad…I manage just fine with waxing…the problem is my sideburns and running down my jawline…as I am getting older, it is getting worse…I tried laser in 98 - I went to one of the “top” doctors in the tri-state area…paid a fortune, did not complete all the sessions and I am back to square one. Since then, I have tried waxing…and for the past few years have been tweezing (I know now, that is one of the worst things I could have done)…
Anyway, I have done a lot of research online and scheduled an appointment for next week…I am REALLY nervous!! I stopped tweezing a week or so ago and have been shaving…I don’t even want to leave my house - I am SO insecure and terrified someone is going to see my stubble! I had no idea until I stopped tweezing how bad it is, but I want my visit to be as productive as possible…
Here are my questions…
-
Is there anyone in Somerset County/Hunterdon County that has done electrolysis, or knows anyone that does it? I got a good feeling from the woman I spoke to on the phone, but if anyone in my area has experience, I would love to hear it.
-
How many sessions should I expect?
-
I have read a lot about the pain, and I am trying to get a heads up as to how painful I will find it…I know everyone is different, but I wax no problem (eyebrows, upper lip and Brazilian bikini), I am an active blood and platelet donor (needles), no problem…laser I thought was horrible, but I was also 12 years younger and when I first tried waxing, I thought it sucked and had to leave mid appointment due to pain! Should I be ok, or should I arrange for someone to take me?

Do I tip?

ANY input, suggestions, etc would be GREATLY appreciated!! I am REALLY nervous, but also excited…I feel like this is one of my biggest insecurities and I hope electrolysis is my answer!!
