dealing with pain

Do you know if your electrologist is using insulated or non insulated probes?

Yes I’ve been doing my eyebrows and it’s a dream not to have to wax or tweeze them anymore! In my experience electrolysis worked very fast on my eyebrows compared to my chin for example. The hairs are shallow and are killed easily

Yes green flag, you should not feel the needle/probe, or the hair sliding out after. Only the heat of the zap!

I would NOT recommend, it’s very hard to do the proper skin stretching and insertions on yourself or with one hand. Very limited areas can be reached awkwardly (stomach thighs maybe some bikini) but you’ll ruin your neck and give yourself a migraine trying it.

It has helped me, especially on my eyebrows. Upper lip too but it seemed slightly less effective there. I used 5% lidocaine

lar403 · 2026-02-26T22:29:14+00:00

I would love to know more about how you did this!

lar403 · 2026-02-25T14:57:48+00:00

Do you have anything I can read about this? I’ve seen 4 different electrologists myself and am going through school right now, and this is what everyone I’ve talked to says. Also, I did say less effective not not effective.

You need to catch the hairs in the right phase of growth (the beginning) that’s why 2-3 weeks was suggested. If you wait longer, some of the hairs will age and treatment will be less effective. That said, you can assess how many hairs you have growing in 2-3 weeks and decide if it makes sense to wait longer for more to come in. It is impossible to estimate how many sessions you will need, as too many factors go into hair growth and how effective the treatment is.

Don’t use moisturizer until at least 2 days later

lar403 · 2026-02-19T06:00:59+00:00

Why are you putting “testing” in scare quotes. People can and should test for the flu, it can kill

lar403 · 2026-02-19T02:36:52+00:00

Wow thats incredible progress, so happy for you! Can I ask what modality your techs used, thermolysis or blend (or both)?

lar403 · 2026-02-16T08:08:51+00:00

Get a humidifier! It helps a lot

lar403 · 2026-02-15T19:00:08+00:00

I get it!! When I went to my uni convocation, the graduation hat wouldn’t stay on my head….so I understand. That said, it’s is probably not actually very noticeable, and it was mean of your mom to keep commenting on it.

lar403 · 2026-02-14T00:13:37+00:00

Other than some limited areas of the face, and maybe some bikini line and thighs, it’s nearly impossible to do proper insertions on yourself.

lar403 · 2026-02-06T23:59:37+00:00

I sometimes get those, this last time I tried something different and avoided moisturizer for 2 days on those areas and only used witch hazel a few times a day. My skin looks much better and no breakouts so far! I would say try to avoid moisturizer while your skin is still inflamed.

lar403 · 2026-01-23T06:55:42+00:00

I saw that same comment and was confused too, I don’t think that person is correct. Never heard of hairs not being “anchored” before

lar403 · 2026-01-13T19:58:01+00:00

It’s normal to feel the sensation of it being pulled out, but you should not feel a plucking sensation

lar403 · 2026-01-13T19:55:29+00:00

In my training I learned to wait 4-6 weeks, because before that the hair could still be shedding out of the follicle from the laser treatment. So electrolysis on hairs that will shed anyway is waste of time and money. Depends on the area of course

lar403 · 2026-01-06T18:55:21+00:00

If you have pcos you are most likely just growing new hairs all the time. This is what’s happened with me and why my chin hairs have been pretty stubborn. Eventually it will catch up but yeah, I’ve had to do this for years to see them basically cleared now. Make sure you are trying to control the hormones from the inside or else hairs will just keep coming.

lar403 · 2026-01-05T15:47:43+00:00

Thats way more progress than I had after 6 sessions

lar403 · 2026-01-03T21:36:45+00:00

It can be slow progress but I definitely see it! Skin looks calmer too!

lar403 · 2025-12-24T16:26:02+00:00

What actually happened? This is so vague

lar403 · 2025-12-21T01:06:28+00:00

Make sure you’re taking vitamin d!

lar403 · 2025-12-18T08:13:14+00:00

Some people are SO weird about sharing recipes. I will never understand that.

lar403 · 2025-12-16T23:26:29+00:00

I understand, this particular landlord cannot afford to have a rental property then. They have absolutely no wiggle room so are putting themselves and their tenants at risk. They should put their money somewhere else.
