Stuck on which method to choose

Hair Removal Methods
#1

I’ve had IPL on my face with great results. Just need top ups which is a 2 hour train journey away. So I haven’t been going (I’ve avoided trains due to mental health but I’m a lot better now).

However I’m getting full body done and I’m considering getting laser on my face. My fear is if I get laser done on my face it could potentially undo all the good work that my IPL practitioner has done. I would be getting a top up after 3 -4 years! I didn’t go previously because the hair was fine and I just shaved it off but now it’s coming back thicker.

I’ve been getting electrolysis instead of the Ipl top ups for a few stray hairs which I regret because it’s done NOTHING. I’ve been going for 2 years! And now I can’t get ipl top ups on those areas (cheek and chin).

Next I did laser hair removal on my arms. Great results after 8 sessions.

Now I’m just wondering shall I stick to my IPL and travel 30 miles or should I just do laser hair removal full body (I’m getting full body anyway) and try there? My instinct is to stick with the IPL because I’ve had good results.

Whoa there !

It is not ELECTROLYSIS, maybe it is the practitioner who is performing electrolysis? If performed correctly, electrolysis absolutely DOES work.

On the other side, we don’t know how many sessions/hours you put into doing electrolysis? We don’t know if IPL has thrown off your hair growth cycles with weird, unpredictable lengths of time? We don’t know if you tweeze, wax or thread in between treatments? We don’t know your hormonal situation? So, be careful. What you think you know about electrolysis is a disservice to those whose only hope on earth is to have electrolysis. All we ask is fairness, mixed with a good knowledge base, when referring to the process of PERMANENT hair removal. Electrolysis is for all colors of hair, all structures of hair on every color of skin.

I have no idea what you mean by you “can’t get top ups on your cheeks and chin with IPL because of electrolysis” ??? That’s what electrolysis can precisely do! We mop up constantly after laser and IPL’s do all they can do. There is ALWAYS hair left to clear.
Consumers be aware of comments as quoted above and think beyond such declaratives.

Well I’m just just giving my account of electrolysis which i have every right to do and it’s a given I did everything they told me to. I didn’t pluck or wax only shaved yet I still didn’t see results and I was coming every 4 weeks but that actually increased to every 2 weeks. Even if I have hormona issues it should still work but I just have the same hairs growing in the same places. IPL worked.
