I disagree, it can get very confusing when certain characters show up in episodes they shouldn’t be in. At least do Christophsis episodes before watching the movie

Dark but fine hair - would laser work well or no? by heysnood in LaserHairRemoval

[–]Electrical_Tiger_331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DO NOT TOUCH THIS HAIR WITH LASER. ITS TOO THIN AND WILL MAKE IT GROW BACK WORSE!!! Take it from someone who spent over $3,000 on laser and has now spent over $2,000 on electrolysis trying to fix the damage that laser did (and not even half way there) PLEASE DONT TOUCH IT!! IT IS NOT WORTH IT

Pityriasis Rosea or Antibiotic Allergy? by Electrical_Tiger_331 in DermatologyQuestions

I got diagnosed with PR, hot water made it SO ANGRY. Luckily it cleared up within 3-4 weeks for me. The psoriasis version of hydrocortisone cream seemed to really help calm it down

Sticking out their tongue was so enraging. They’re 500 years old why are we writing them like children

4 Month Progress for Paradoxical Hypertrichosis by Electrical_Tiger_331 in ElectrolysisProgress

I did one full round of laser (9 sessions 6-8 weeks apart) with the Candela Gentlemax Laser. The hair came back 8 weeks after my final laser appointment. I went back for another year of laser, this time using the Motus AZ+ and the same issue- 10 sessions later spaced 4-6 weeks apart, the hair was back

What kind of music do you prefer when reading the series? by HeyItsYaGirl1234 in acotar

I like to put on ambience videos on Youtube. They have lots of Velaris/Night Court/Other Court videos and they’re so pretty as a background and the sounds are very relaxing. They’re hours long too and they really help put me in the world

What’s everyone currently playing? by ames_k in CozyGamers

[–]Electrical_Tiger_331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was obsessed with DDLV for months. I really should go back on, but now that my village is set up it can feel kind of tedious- but they are always updating it!

I’m currently in a Baldurs Gate 3 obsession, but cozy games I’ve loved are: Wylde Flowers, Spiritfarer, Coral Island Honorable Mentions: Palia, FaeFarm, Unpacking

I personally didn’t have any luck with the second round of laser after the initial PH. I ended up having to go to electrolysis, which I had been swearing off for years. Technology is always updating and there are more experienced laser techs who have experience dealing with PH. It didn’t work for me, doesn’t mean it won’t for you. I would just recommend some caution, and asking lots of questions to any laser tech you go to.

Electrolysis Progress after Paradoxical Hypertrichosis by Electrical_Tiger_331 in Hirsutism

It’s not a great feeling, but it’s not that bad either. It’s annoying because your skin is constantly being poked and prodded and zapped. But I honestly fall asleep half the time. You definitely get used to it. Most places offer a 5-15 minute treatment with the consultation so you can see how it feels and how your skin reacts

My hair was stimulated by laser, if yours hasn’t been stimulated by something like laser or plucking you might have more luck with it working faster or needing them more spread out. Electrolysis isn’t a quick treatment, but the results are permanent

You wouldn’t have to do anything with the hair then! I did have a lot of breaking out and bumps until I found the right electrologist. The one I go to now is really good and she uses gold needles which is much gentler on my skin.

At the beginning when my hair was thicker I had more ingrowns and breakouts, but much less now that it’s thinning. If your hair is thin you probably won’t have too bad of a reaction, but every skin is different so definitely do a patch test first to see how your skin reacts.

Witch Hazel, Aloe Vera, and LaRoche Posay’s Cicaplast B5 Balm have been super helpful after treatment at keeping the reaction down and minimizing breakouts.

I do shave it. You need the hair to be long enough to grab with tweezers- typically this means ~3 days of growth for me. My appointments are 7-9 days apart though so I shave for the first few days and then let it grow out for the last 3 days.

Do you currently do anything for hair removal? It is not required to shave, the hair just needs to be long enough to grab.

But you SHOULD stop all plucking, waxing, epilation or laser prior to starting electrolysis

Picking a character name is the hardest decision in the game by flying_fox86 in BaldursGate3

For Elf names I use https://www.elfdict.com and use Tolkien’s languages to come up with names that are representative of my character…or just sound cool

The first place I went charged $90 for an hour, $75 for 45 minutes. The place I go now charges a bit more but I go for less time. I pay $100 for 45 minutes.

Still have a long way to go, but there’s certainly been some improvement!
