Title: Hair removal. Where did you start?
Post by: Gina_Z on November 02, 2013, 02:14:53 PM
Tell us where you started permanent hair removal? Your face? Your elbows? etc. Help me get motivated!

Face for me - though I don't think I'll need any on other parts of my body...I got to 30 before I grew a chest hair (note the singular "hair").  I've never been that hairy, my leg hairs are light.  The only place other than my head with dark hairs are my pits and bits.

I focus on my face primarily, but I also make sure to zap my chest and navel area. The rest I can shave for now. I started off zapping a lot more, but I am trying to save some money right now.

SO very glad I never had a hairy back....eeew!!

So lucky my back is hairless, BUT there's a little bit on my rear end. It's hard to shave there so maybe I'll start there. Can you do electrolysis on your eyebrows for shaping?

Face was main focus for laser, but I have also had legs, torso front and back, shoulders as well as underarms done.
Thus almost all of me has been fried.
Starting electro on the face and eyebrows shortly.

Hormones will take care of the body hair eventually.

Everywhere at once! Bodywise it was mostly forearms, underarms, full legs, butt and to a lesser extent chest and belly... that has been a process of waxing; since that hair was mostly fair and not overly coarse it has worked quite well, especially now I'm on HRT. Two months since my last full body wax and regrowth has been minimal and very fine. The beard I tried laser, but hair was too fair... because I couldn't find a good electrolysist I got the beard waxed a few times (yeah, painful but effective) but am now on a solid course of electrolysis. I don't know about people with darker, coarser hair but being on HRT has definitely helped the process too.

Don't see why not... imagine it would be fairly painful though! ;D

Three laser sessions on the face, and four on the neck before I brought in electrolysis to reduce the grey hairs. Thinking I will need about 10 laser sessions overall, and several hours of clean up electro. I've only been on HRT for a couple of months and don't want to spend money on the chest until the hormones do whatever work they are going to do.

Face first with electrolysis(no lasers back then and even if there was I was very grey and it won't work) then I had body waxing
