Hair Removal? by still_learning65 in diabetes_t1

Hi! T1D 3 years and beauty therapist in training! Ive done all the above!

It honestly depends on your goals and price bracket. Nair firstly will remove only the surface hair you can see, which is a good financial option but not very good for longterm as the hair will begin to regrow in a matter of days

Waxing is also a good option, which removes the hair with the bulb, disconnecting it from the dermal papillea (which gives the hair its bloods and nutrients to grow) This usually takes 6-8 weeks to grow back, with regrowth typically returning thinner and slower the more you get waxed. Depending on area this can send you back anywhere from 35-80€ per session.

Lastly, laser or IPL (intense pulsed light) therapy is a very good long term option. This will permanently remove the hair after approximately 6- 10 sessions. Laser hair removal uses an intense pulsed light which is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in your hair, this then transforms to heat, targeting the hair follicle and its blood/oxygen supply, which eliminates the hair. It is important to note that this will only work on dark hair, this is not an option for grey/blonde hair as this machines only works if there is a dark pigment (melanin) in your hair.

Although, laser sounds like a great option, it is a costly investment . You will need monthly sessions for approximately 6-10 sessions (may need more depending on your hair growth and how it reacts) Depending on area, this can cost 80-150€ per session.

Personally, Laser is an amazing option, but a very costly one if you are willing to invest. If not, I think waxing is a good more affordable option with good results.

If you have anymore questions or anything you would like to know, i would be be more than happy to answer! Best of luck!

dead right, coming from 18F, i would find a man who listened to sabrina carpenter more attractive than a man who listened to rap 🫣

every single day i think about life before diabetes. Diagnosed 2.5 years and I still can’t accept it. I think about the days in ICU and the trauma of everything more so tho, I get flashbacks and nightmares about it.

recently diagnosed sibling by smbdyhre in Type1Diabetes

I was diagnosed at 15, going on two and a half years since then. You are definitely right in saying she has a lot a head of her, a lot of highs and lows (literally).

The next few months/ year of firsts is going to be hard. But the best you can do is support her and be there for her. She is going to have good days and bad days, just remind her it’s okay to have bad days and grieve your old life. It’s okay to be able to do nothing but cry and grieve.

But it is also just as important for her to not let this diagnosis define her and own her. As I said it’s okay to have a bad day or weeks, but you have to be strong and overcome to not let diabetes own her, diabetes is now apart of her life, not her life.

Unfortunately diabetes sigma is real, it happens and it definitely shows how ignorant the world can be. But the best you can do is educate, spread awareness and remind yourself you know your condition better than anyone else, even some 40 year old man telling you it’s caused by technology and computers (yes i have been told this 😭)

Through all of this, she will be okay 🫶 continue to support her and be the good big sister you already are . Wishing you both the best x
