Title: Doing Electro myself.
Post by: Katie on July 31, 2015, 09:01:59 AM
An update about my hair removal progress.

I began transition years ago and at the beginning I had laser. That took care of beard hair areas but not around my mouth or neckline.

Years later I finally got around to addressing the hair. I got lucky and brought a professional machine from a gal retiring in Canada.

That was a bit over two years ago. After countless hours in front of the mirror I can say that there is next to no more hair to zap. I still sit in front of the mirror every day but its down to about five minutes and most of that time is trying to find any stray hairs to zap.

I am telling you all this because I wanted ya to know it IS possible to do it yourself for most of your facial area.

Good idea.  I bet the money I have spent on electro could have easily paid for a used machine by now.

I might be in this boat myself. I'm going to do 4 or 5 more laser sessions, and if I can't find a wheelchair accessible electrologist by the time that's over, I'll buy a OneTouch. Laser has already been pretty effective, so hopefully after a few more sessions I won't need much electro.
