[color:#000099] [/color] Hello. I am a female with blonde hairs along my jaw line at the chin and under my chin, perhaps a legacy of a crazy thyroid before it was removed. I never plucked or waxed them. There is only one practitioner near me; the next closest is 2 hours away. The local woman has been in business 25 years and uses something like microwave or shortwave thermalysis.
The first time I went the removal of the hairs was worse than the zap. Pulling them out was painful; she said because they were coarse, had been there a long time and had huge balls on the end. Other than some brief mild redness, I have no reaction or scabs. I go every 2 weeks, and she clears the area in 30 minutes. I had been 3 times, didn’t notice any impact yet. She indicated each time she zapped they would come in softer and finer and eventually stop growing. Is this correct?? The follicles require multiple zaps to die? She indicated it would take a year or two, with visits becoming more infrequent over time. Sound right? Although I typically have a high pain tolerance, I find the zapping quite uncomfortable. I can’t imagine anyone sleeping through it. Yesterday was my fourth visit. She says she sees a difference already. Although she also said I started with a full beard which makes me think she is confusing me with another client. I would welcome your feedback that this treatment plan is typical. Thanks so much.
