Confirmation that I'm a viable candidate for laser treatment.
Already had it from a private clinic, but didn't believe them entirely. Got it from an NHS clinic - I believe them - they wouldn't even suggest it was possible if it wasn't, considering they're paying.
My facial hairs run from blonde through red (shame) to brown and almost black (great). So around half should work with IPL. The boredom of electrolysis halved - fantastic. Even if it's not as permanent and has to be repeated, it's barely painful - my pain threshold is high. My boredom threshold is not high at all, and electrolysis bores me to hell.
The woman was really sweet, she said that in addition to all those colours "I don't know how to tell you this, but, erm, some of them are grey'. I laughed and said, yeah, I noticed a couple of years ago when my roots were showing that premature greying was occurring at the temples, so no surprise that the face is the same as the head hair. So it's continued electrolysis for those.
