Hi all,
I’m trans mtf and have been undergoing electrolysis for around six months to remove my facial hair, but have had to pause treatment due to a medical condition. I’ve had around 65 hours and this has completed one clearance on one cheek/side & two on the other.
The hair regrowth that I’m experiencing is much finer and mostly lighter than originally, but it’s getting quite long and becoming distressing. I have been told by my electrologist that I shouldn’t touch it at all if possibly, but that I can trim it if absolutely necessary. She told me that shaving would cause it to revert to its original state. Obviously this is very concerning as this has been a huge investment in money, time and energy. She uses the blend method.
From what I read shaving shouldn’t cause reversion; is this correct?
It could be months before I can return and I can’t be stuck like this, but nor can I risk undoing everything that’s been done.
I would greatly appreciate advice.
Thank you so much 
I would have confronted the notion sooner, but due to the regularity of the sessions (3x1hr/week) it wasn’t practical, or largely necessary, to shave the treatment areas between them. Thank you again.
