Hey.
I posted a while back bascially asking about electroylsis and have since been undergoing it!
Bascially I am a 23 year old male, getting back done, the blend method is being used and I reckon I have had about 15 - 20 hours worth done (I should of really recorded it) Basically I have a before and current pic and would just like a few peoples thoughts.
I am currently at the is it working stage? As in the we always seem to be going over the same areas and have not really done any at the top of my back? Am I just being cynical? Any thoughts would be much appreciated
A good MicroFlasher or PicoFlasher thermolysis electrologist could go much faster. Blend will work just fine, but it is slower than thermolysis for a large area like the back.
Your back is not the hairiest I’ve seen, in fact, it is one of the “easier” looking back situations I’ve worked on.
After an area is cleared, it is important to keep the area cleared everytime you go in and that is what your practitioner is doing. This is very possible to do when one uses the speedier modalities of Microflash or PicoFlash thermolysis with the proper proper probe size and correct balance of energy and timing. Thermolysis allows you to not only maintain an area each time, but also allows one to keep moving forward to clear a new area. That is an important concept - clear and maintain > keep moving forward to an untouched area to clear and then maintain.
Blend will give you permanent hair removal, but at what cost and time committment? The higher forms of thermolysis offers speed and comfort to reach the end faster and for less money. Either way, it is still a long road to hoe, but the committment will bring you permanent joy in the end.
I think the machine she uses on me is the only one the place has so I doubt the other techniques you mentioned are available to me!
I am clearly at the point of ‘ahhh is it working’ which most people seem to hit when undergoing such lengthy and costly procedures.
Persistance I suppose it is then!
