Hello – I’m new here and hoping to get some other opinions on my electrolysis.
I’ve been getting electrolysis for several years, starting on my bikini area almost 3 years ago and adding in my right leg 1 year ago. I switched elecrologists 1.5 years ago because I felt like my first one wasn’t getting real results, and I suspected she didn’t have enough expertise for the bikini area. I am now almost hair-free in the main bikini line I’ve wanted to clear, but there are some hairs still cropping up there regularly. On my leg, I’m noticing reduction along the front of the shin, which is the main area my electrologist concentrates on, but it has still got a ways to go.
My husband and I just started trying to get pregnant. I know that electrolysis is considered pretty safe during pregnancy, but I guess I’m a little nervous about it. I’ve been thinking that I might start going for electrolysis once a month … like I’d go during the week between the time I get my period and the time we’d try again to conceive. And then I was thinking I’d take a break when I actually get pregnant.
My questions are:
-Is it likely to accomplish anything if I switch to only going once a month? Would the efficacy or lack thereof be different for the bikini area and the leg area, which are at different stages and might have different hair types?
-Is it normal for the bikini line and the leg to be taking this long? With 3 years total, but maybe only 1.5 years of effective electrolysis, for the bikini line and 1 year for the front of one leg, and still getting hair in both treated areas, I’m feeling a bit like there’s no end in sight.
Thanks for any insight!
