Phasing in electrolysis while undergoing laser treatment?

Basically, has anyone done laser and electrolysis at the same time? What part of the laser "cycle" is the best time to get electrolysis? Does the electrolysis allow/force you to space out your laser appointments more? Or does the laser "cycle" instead force you to cram lots of electrolysis in a small time window to keep the laser working?

I'm asking because I think I'm approaching the point where an electro tech can clear my entire face in one sitting. I've had three laser treatments so far, and number four is in a couple weeks. So I'm looking for good ways to work both in for a while.

I'd ask your laser tech. The only thing I can think of is that it takes some time for the laser to have had its effect, usually a few days. You also need to be shaved for laser and hairy foe electrolysis. I think, and it is just opnion, that most people let the laser do its job and then do electro as it is more expensive, so you want to use it to 'clean' up the left overs.

I have done both, some time back. Yes, for me it worked fine.
Bear in mind that laser-treatment spacing is usually 4 weeks minimum between treatments to allow for healing / re-growth to establish it self (my experience).
Electrolysis taking out singly root by root needs far less in-between spacing. I still have El once a week. I even has it 5 days a week some time back.
The El technician/beautician aught to leave out all the dark stuff and only target the white and grey.
I had El a day before laser and even having quite sensitive skin it was no issue. You shave after you had EL to be ready for laser.
Just don't plan doing BOTH on the same day.

I hope this helps,
