It's time for me to  begin the process of permanent hair removal from my face. Can anyone recommend an electrologist in New York City? Does anyone have any knowledge of Lucy Peters? Peters seems to be offering a less painful and faster technique. If the results are truly permanent, Lucy Peters may be worth considering.

April, if your in NYC anyway and the consultation is free might be worth checking out and letting us know. How long per visit, how many treatments initially, cost per hour & average total treatment hours, appointment lead time, etc etc . . . ?

In comparision to E3000 in TX might be worth the trip???

An option to E3000, for me, would be Lucy Peters. This is a studio with several locations that promise fast and permanent results. Not inexpensive, but because of the promised speed, it would prove to be less costly for me. They also speak of much less pain. I'll see my therapist today, and I'll ask her for recommendations, but I was hoping for some input from the community here as well. Everyone is different, and I realize that one person may have good results where someone else may not be so fortunate, but I'm hoping to find a place to start. By the way, Lucy Peters has a website, http://www.lucypeters.com/ and it looks like something worth investigating. There was an earlier post where the studio was praised. I'm trying to balance everything out financially, with therapy, electrolysis, doctor/hormones/lab tests going on now, and trying to plan the funding for voice therapy/ffs/srs in the future. No one ever said that transition was inexpensive, but considering the alternatives.....

I know this topic is old, but for future reference...

Bonnie Electrolysis 330 W 58th St, New York, NY 10019-1827 (212) 246-4699

I had the majority of my work done there.  It's owned by a transexual named Bonnie, and it is very TG friendly.  Lots of people just starting transition go there.  Although I haven't been there for two years ago.  Don't know if she is still there.  Although I found something on the internet that said she added laser to her practice last year.  She told me she was planning on doing that.
