Unibrow treatment.

Hair Removal Methods Professional Electrolysis
#1

I have had a full-blown (it’s equally full throughout) unibrow since I was 13 and I’m tired of plucking it every day. I am very interested in pursuing professional electrolysis, but I have some questions I’m too timid to call an electrologist and ask.

  1. Is it necessary to allow the hairs to grow out in order to remove them? Nobody has any idea I have a unibrow and I’m terribly embarassed by it so I would prefer to keep it hidden, even while undergoing treatment.

  2. My eyebrow(s) is pitch black and quite course and thick. How many treatments would it take to remove?

  3. I’ve heard that “permanent” is a misnonmer; what sort of results can I expect?

  4. How much can I expect each treatment to cost?

Thank you very much.

Welcome rbball to hairtell.

None of your questions express anything that you should be ashamed to ask your electrologist. They are excellent questions that most electrologists expect to be asked.

You can shave or clip the hairs three days before a treatment. If you choose an electrologist that has quality magnification and lighting, he/she can handle seeing and thus, treating the hair with 3 days worth of growth.

How many treatments? That is for your electrologist to answer because he/she can see your problem. On my male clients, I see them for 20-30 minutes worth because it is a small area, and I clear out the coarse hairs first. AFTER THE FIRST TREATMENT, it’s dramatic how great they look. The next week, we do the same plan and so on. Somewhere after the 4th treatment it looks and stays looking like one doesn’t have problem,but you need to be a loyal rbball and book a scheduled appointment every two to three weeks until there is nothing to get. Your electrologist will guide you on the schedule that’s best for you. Imprint this in your mind: 9-12 months . This is how long you need to be patient and loyal. This is how long it will take for you to be successful because of the hair growth cycles.

Cost varies depending on the situation. Most of my eyebrow men are “cured” for well under $400. This is spread out over 9-12 months.

I use both blend and microflash thermolysis for this area, depending on the hair structure. If someone else uses one or the other, no big deal as you will still be getting permanent hair removal.

It is permanent. Find someone good. Watch how well you heal. Use good aftercare. Read hairtell a little more because all the information you need is here. Become familiar with the search feature <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thank you for the information. How long before treatment should I stop plucking?

Just stop plucking now and shave, then you’re ready to tackle this if you decide to see some electrologists for consults. Once you start electrolysis, you absolutely must stop tweezing.

Speaking from experience, Dee has just given you very sound advice. I am having my midbrow cleared at the current time, not to mention the eyebrows are getting their final shape and I’m having upper lip work as well. I expect that with all of the work that I’m going to be needing that I will keep my electrologist busy for the next 2 to 3 years, but for any individual area, I am seeing excellent results and full clearance in under a year for most areas.

Some areas may take a little longer, and remember that most hair growth cycles are “averages” for any part of the body. Some people’s hairs cycle faster than others, some a little slower. With any hair removal method, you will need to see the process through to the end. stopping mid-plan will only result in about half of what you want.

Whatever you choose to do, stick with your half of the process and your patience will be rewarded.

All the best,

Dee pretty much answered everything for you. I should add that I’m getting this area done, actually entire eyebrows shaped and am nearly done. It’s been less than a year at this point. This is an easy area and you can satisfaction pretty fast. I also never get much irritation on this area, which is great.

I recommend you read about what you should be looking in an electrologist on here so you sample a few and start with a good one right away.
