I am already had 3 years of facial hair removal. 2 years laser, 1 year electrolysis.
And I am getting tired of it... because some parts seem to grow back. :(
When will this end?
Electrolysis is good, but I cannot shave for two whole days before an appointment. It is wearing me down, because I am so far in my transition that it's weird to walk around with facial hair. I just hide for two days inside my home, afraid to go outside... and then 1 hour, they remove like 50 hairs or so, which are back the following week... >:( ???
I cannot continue to live like this... it dominates my life. Those few hairs! argggh!! begone!
I am willing to quit doing it...
Advise? hugs?

Thanks!
I've been to 3 places, before landing with my current electrologist.
I am reconsidering laser again... as I notice that about 50% of regrowth is still "black", well black.. no hair is truly black I guess... just dark.
I don't mind electro, it's the non-shaving part that gets me... it interferes with my life, mainly because I try to live stealth currently.

Had another session last week. I think she removed 30-40 hairs or so in 1 hour. Kinda slacking I guess...
You know, I have a degree in electrical engineering. I am thinking about designing my own device. It's really simple to design a device for electrology. Unlike difficult IPL/Laser technology, electrolysis is a fairly simple physical chemical reaction of lye, produced by a DC current passed through a needle. Not exactly rocket science.
I did have one before, and was proficient enough to do my arms and legs for a while. Not my face though, but I am thinking about trying. Not only will it save me a lot of money, I can do it from home and whenever I feel like and for 2-3 hours if I want to.

Hugs Cherry. It's taking forever for me too. My laser took a year, and electrolysis is pushing a year and a half with no end in sight. I'm doing 4 hours a week, and it seems like the regrowth is thinning a bit.
I HATE having to walk around with beard stubble.
