Hair Removal Methods Professional Electrolysis
#1

Hello i have been doing electrolysis for little over 6 months now on my cheeks and i was wondering the hairs i have treated are they permanently gone ?
I am 20 year old male and i am so paranoid by facial hair growth. My electrologist said i shouldn’t grow anymore hair and that i have grown all the facial hair i can.

As you can see im so confused and i am also thinking of going on accutane meaning i will have too stop electrolysis for a year or so and im freaking out about getting a whole bunch of facial hair in that year! please put my worries too sleep and provide me some facts!!!

I cannot find any information about electrolysis and young males on the web or any case studies.

After 6 months, you should have a good chunk of it done. You may not still have a little bit, but after 6 months, it definitely won’t be like it was before. I doubt you would get “a whole bunch of facial hair” but it wouldn’t be unusual to still have some finer stuff but far more sparse than what there was before.

it was mostly thin hairs on my upper cheek and then i started working too get a lower beard line.

Like i was saying im 20 do you think iv developed all my hair or i still have alot more too grow in the coming years im just super paranoid.

So it sounds like you didn’t have much to begin with. I started electrolysis on my facial hair when I was 23. This is what I had (and almost all the thick stuff was gone after 8 months):

There are thousands upon thousands of hair follicles on your face. It’s certainly possible some could sprout more hairs later on, but I doubt it would end up being like it was before

How long have you been having treatment on the face? how regularly have you been having treatment? You have to weigh up how much you want your hair gone vs how clear you want your skin.

I think you are done growing with your ‘puberty’ facial hair growth stage. You MAY grow more hair if your hormones change. EVERYONE is different so you may or may not grow more. You just have to accept this fact we cannot know for sure. hope this helps

Take a look at page 20 of my free download book “Secrets of Hair & Skin.” The illustration will show you about where you are in beard development.

At 20-years-old your full beard has not grown in. The male beard continues to fill in, usually, until the age of 30 - 35 (and sometimes beyond). I would say that it’s a certainty that more beard hairs are going to “fill in.”

If you cannot find the download, send me an email on my private account and I will forward the booklet to you.

Michael is right. Look at these two pictures, I think between one and the other are 20 years apart. You can see how this man’s beard has spread. This is especially visible in the neck, but the hair has been extended above the beard line to the eye as well.

Both Michael and Josefa have stated the facts about what the hair on your face is going to do. You are 20, do your Accutane and get that issue under control and then focus on electrolysis. As soon as you go through 12-18 months of electrolysis you’ll be able to do maintenance on rogue hairs until your facial hair finally stops growing. It’s all going to take time so exercise patience, focus and dedicate.

“ … and I am so paranoid by facial hair growth.”

Please take no offense at what I’m about to say to you. Again, I’m the “big fat mouth” in this group of wonderful gentle colleagues. So, here goes.

The male beard is a “male secondary characteristic.” Even if shaven, the beard will still “show through” and create the signature “male face.”

If you are thinking about “transitioning” I’m in full support of you. I love my TG clients like my kids! If, however, you are only “annoyed by shaving” or don’t like the facial hair at this moment? PLEASE reconsider doing a full beard removal.

Perhaps at 20-years-old having no beard won’t be noticeable. However, at 40-years-old (especially if your have brown or black hair), having no beard is going to be a disfigurement.

You seriously need to think about this and talk with your electrologist. We are not (well most of us) just people that remove hair. We have a wealth of human experience and it’s important to think ahead.

A man without a beard looks odd. He looks like he never went through puberty. He can also have an androgynous appearance that gives people an “uneasy” feeling.

Again, I’m not “picking on you” … I’m trying to save you from making a mistake that you might later regret.

Nothing like the interest of clarity.

Michael you are not a big mouth, you’re an endless source of inspiration and education. I will never tire of saying thank you for everything you’ve done, you do, and you will do for all of us, consumers, apprentices, and professionals. Happy 2014!

My personal way of saying that I have understood the idea:

Oh my Gosh Jossie, that’s hysterical. You made me laugh and I think the “Z” should become your official logo!

As you noted, with super big jobs it’s important to start in the right area and try to keep the patient looking normal. My thought is always: if they quit (or I drop dead) will they still look okay, or will they look maimed.

Years ago, I had this poor devil show up. He was a gorilla! (Back, chest … total). His former electrologist (he went for a year), STARTED clearing a patch around ONE nipple! Just ONE! It totally worked and now the guy looked like he had a “bull’s eye” on his chest. Total hair and a cleared-off NIPPLE!

This is horrible to do to somebody and shows no understanding of how to remove large areas of hair. The simple rule is to remove hairs in a “reverse pattern,” i.e., follow how hairs commonly develop on the body and reverse the thing.

(I don’t think I explained this very well. I think it’s the ONE glass of wine I have last night: I’m still fuzzy. Well, a bit more fuzzy than usual.)

Note: if working on a male to female TG patient, start right in the center of the face … don’t “move up on it” as you would for a guy that still wants to keep his beard (somewhat).

One TG client called this her “muzzle” area: upper lip, chin, etc. Clearing this area will quickly create a feminine look, which is what the patient wants … ASAP!

#14

That’s a good point Mike, starting on center. I have noticed that some of my TS clients will just plain out tell me before they are even on the table to start on center. I’m still waiting for that one client who says please start on the sides of my face first :slight_smile: I would like to know help22 what your goal is with hair removal?

#15

The upper lip, and chin area are always the first place I start, whether it’s my face or another transgirl. It’s where people see your face first and makes the most difference in appearance.

There is another good reason to start with this center area, the hair density is higher in chin, upper and lower lip. Hence remove the darkness caused by the roots is more urgent.
