That's a really good point, i shall have to look into that! But i suppose i meant in general, are hand held ones worth getting? As they work out a lot cheaper then booking Electro sessions?

I did my beard with one of those, very successfully. You need a very good light, and a good magnifying mirror. One of the benefits I found was that you could apply the current for a long time (15 secs to each follicle) and watch the pulp seep out rather than the quick zap that electrologists seem to do. You can also monitor the pain to an easily bearable level. Never could do the top lip tho so I used one that put the current through the skin with tweezers. Shouldn't have worked but it did a pretty good job. I only had a medium beard though.

That's good to know I must admit, the pain people keep talking about is kinda scaring me a bit!

Welcome to possibly the hardest part of transition.

Unfortunately for some, there's just no easy way around it. The pain starts to encourage after a while though- it's not so bad! You can really feel the accomplishment

Haha, making a positive out of something that sounds so painful! Your optimism is infectious, Jenny.

Thank you! It's what I do best on a good day

Difficulty is the precursor to accomplishment!

This was the very first device I brought for hair removal, and stllii have it somewhere. It's OK if you just have the odd hair here and there, as it only treats one hair at a time.

I'm no expert, so please anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe most people have thousands of hair follicles on their face or wherever, add to that, if you want to get anywhere near permanently removing them all, you have about 10 cycles of regrowth to deal with, so I find an form of electrolysis, kind of like trying to bale out a swimming pool with a teaspoon in the middle of a thunder storm.
