Which electrologist would you consider better?

I’m still on this journey with electroloysis.

I’ve been clearing my face for 4 years now. It is about 85% better but I get phases where new hairs keep coming. I’ve had blood tests done to check my hormones but they seem to be fine, so I’m not sure what’s wrong. Can stress cause hair growth?

Well I am now seeing a new electrologist because of my location. I go to her to get my face cleared. I have noticed with this electrologist that my healing time is sooo much less severe. She has newer equipment and my face barely looks like I had anything done just a few days later. Is she under treating me or maybe she doesn’t have to put it as high because the hairs are less dense now?? She’s a bit slower but she only zaps the hair once and it comes out. The last lady use to zap it three times per hair. With my last electrologist I used to have times where my face was very bumpy and scabbed about a month sometimes! I’m thinking I might have been getting over treated for years and not knowing it. Well I’m starting the nape of my neck with this new lady next week. What are your thoughts, is she just better? I’m not sure what method she’s using, but I’m holding a bar in the hand. She told me she doesn’t use blend much though so I’m unsure.

This new electrologist sounds like she is providing you with some very good treatments. If she is having you use the indifferent electrode (bar in hand) then she is likely using an auto sense delay with thermolysis. Instead of using a foot switch, you hold that electrode and once the insertion is made the epilator recognizes the two connections and turns the current on. (The electrologist will have pre-set the delay time according to her technique.)

I also like the fact that she zaps the hair once and it comes out. That is a sign that she has good technique, which includes all aspects of the treatment. If it’s a good release then you aren’t likely to see stubbly or broken hairs appearing within a day or two.

All that said, yes, stress can make hair grow. Our adrenal glands provide our bodies with hormones that we need, but when under stress they also deliver adrenalin which I understand can carry the androgens to the skin. I may have said that all wrong - but I think it’s something like that.

Yay that you found someone new!

I just wanted to make sure my treatments were effective. I didn’t see hairs growing back she I’m sure she wasn’t just plucking them.

I did two hours on the nape of my neck last week, and a few days later it just looked like I had slight pink spots in a few areas. The only thing I don’t like is she sometimes doesn’t use magnification, but I think I’ll stick with her.

Thanks
