I managed to get my entire upper and lower lip cleared after a month break, in a one hour session. That makes electrolysis clearing #3. It's clear, it's CLEAR, it should stay clear through Christmas at least! Silly me.

Yay!!! I'm getting 3 hours on Thursday, which should wipe everything out for Xmas.
I'm still sure there will be a next session... *sigh* When does it end?

Congrats! Still got a way to go with the mo but my checks and chin are almost clear. It's a good feeling!

I'm at E3000 today for a total of 24 hours of electrolysis today and tomorrow (2 techs for 8 hours today, 1 tech for 8 hours tomorrow). I'm told that this will take 7-9 total sessions, 8 weeks or so apart but this first one is supposed to be a doozy.

Yay E3K! I was just there last week for my third visit. There was hardly any swelling this time around, and they knocked out the face and neck in seven hours with two techs! One did five hours and another joined and did two. And since the lidocaine injections were no fun, I took a Xanax this time, which took the edge off the anxiety. That place does rock.

And yes, my first one was a doozy too. The second one is not so bad..and the third is even easier. One foot in front of the other!

I posted a before/after in the hair removal forum.
I ended up with 10 hours total for the first full clearing, which was less than expected because the cheeks and sides of the throat were so much thinner than the photos implied. So the vast majority of the work time was spent under the chin, the chin, lower lip, and upper lip.
I'm looking forward to the next clearing already! And even after the first one I am very pleased. The people at E3K are just amazing.
