I am curious if short term / long term results are affected at all by having treatment , zapping on face , done right before or during a womans menstrual time ? Ie is pain that much worse, scabbing or irritation increased significanlty etc …Thanks
No, the results are independent from that, skin reaction as well. Your pain sensitivity might be increased but usually not too much (often not noticeable).
Absolutely not.
Because a woman’s body holds extra water pre-menstrually, the sensation may be a little sharper. Just the fact that most women don’t feel very good leading up to their period, it is probably best to time treatments so you are not getting electrolysis a week before your period. Regardless, all this womanly stuff does not interfer with effectiveness.
(Why didn’t Eve just leave that apple hanging on the tree?)
I’ve often wondered this too, thanks for the clarification!
Hey Dee Dee …
Eve would have been WAY better off if “that damned rib” had never been taken out and converted into that … well, you know.
Yes, you are right, as usual Michael Bono!
Welcome Emma.
It is okay for you to introduce your new blog site on hair removal here by making an announcement that it exists and explaining who you are - a hair removal specialist? A consumer ? A person that represents a certain company? You can still introduce yourself here if you want.
Please take the following as feedback for your blog and not as an attack.
I read over the section on the NO! NO!. It was glowing and positive. Many would disagree with the information. Do you know that hair does not conduct energy and there are several law firms representing consumers and stock holders in class action law suits against this company?
Several studies about NO! NO!'s effectiveness were flawed and it has been concluded that NO! NO! is no more effective than shaving.
I felt the NO! NO! section of your blog was just another infomercial
for a product that has a shady consumer history. It is listed as PHMD on the Nasdaq and the chart shows a very bumpy ride with this product. They have been close to bankruptcy and spend a lot on advertising compared the revenue the product actually brings in, according to an article I just read.
Another matter - your review of home electrolysis kits was pretty accurate. Nobody in their right mind would remove hair this way, unless it was for a few hairs on their forearm or legs. Neophyte hair consumers just can’t do this well. Going to a professional electrologist is safer and much faster. I hope people reading your remarks can make the distinction between electrolysis being a slow and tedious proceedure when performed by an untrained person in their bathroom, using a flimsy home kit and a professional, well-trained electrologist using surgical magnification and expensive equipment , designed for removing large quantities of hair, in an ergonomic office setting. It’s NOT ELECTROLYSIS that is responsible for this fact, it is THE UNTRAINED HUMAN BEING thinking that they know how to perform electrolysis in their home that brings about such conclusions.
There is no easy way down for permanent hair removal because of hair growth cycles and the complexity of inserting a metal probe correctly into a tiny hair follicle. It is isn’t quick or instantaneous. No method can boast about easy, permanent hair removal. Those seeking hair removal should be told the realities of this straight up and honestly, something that many of us try to do here on Hairtell. If you want your blog to be the Go-To site for honesty about hair removal, then keep it honest and well-researched, complete with sources.
I notice one common denominator in blogs about electrolysis - the blogger never consults with electrologists. To make sure your comments are accurate or if more information is needed, wouldn’t you get several electrologists to review the information before you release information?
Common words seen, in regard to electrolysis, are ancient, old, antiquated, tedious, scarring, slow, painful, expensive. Talk to professional electrologists about the misery of home products and doing it yourself. We know many clients that have scarred themselves or have just given up because it is not easy for an untrained person to remove a hair properly. Talk to them them about modern electrolysis care and then your blog will be complete.
Ditto to all you said Dee … let me add one more thing here:
OH, I don’t need to; you covered this subject perfectly (as always).
Home electrolysis kit? I didn’t know there was such a thing. I go to the hospital for electrolysis, and considering how much effort and expertise is involved, I think I’d probably remove my own appendix at home before I tried doing electrolysis on myself.
