Hi all,
I’m new here, and I have been lurking here for a while. This forum is great, answers almost all my questions, but still I need some help.
I’m considering removing the upper lip hair after I was advised to do so in another forum. Here is a little about me:
- I’m 31 year old female.
- Middle eastern, pale with beige tint.
- Have very course and black hair on the upper lip. The two sides have coarse and black hair, but the middle area has fine not very black hair.
- I have been threading and/or tweezing this area for years now, 15 years or more. I also have a black shadow only on the sides of upper lip; even if I removed the hair, still have this very noticeable black shadow. Looks like many hairs are under the skin.
Here are my questions:
-
Does the type of electrolysis machine used depend on skin type and color? My understanding from many posts I read is that Flash, MicroFlash, PicoFlash thermolysis are the best and the galvanic is so slow for the upper lip. Does that apply on all skin colors and types? What about the blend?

How would be the frequency of visits after around 7 months of treatment? Would it be monthly, every two months? Given the black and coarse hair I have. I’m asking because I might go to my country for 3 months after around 7 months from treatment beginning. Would 3 months be a long time to go without electrolysis? I know it’s hard to diagnose over internet but in general, how will be the hair growth in the upper lip after 7 months of treatment? I don’t want to start and then stop in the middle after starting achieving results and I don’t know about electrolysis in my country.

When should I stop threading before my first appointment?

I live in Massachusetts, Greater Boston; do you have any good recommendation in this area? I have a list I’m going to call tomorrow for a consultation, but like to hear from you.
Thanks in advance,
