Title: Multi Hour Electrolysis Sessions where can I go....
Post by: LizK on May 21, 2016, 10:54:05 PM
I have the funds to do all my electrolysis in one hit if I wanted however I have issues with pain so need to find someone in Australia who can safely do multi-hour sessions with pain control available...I would like my first full clearance completed over a day or two...anyone got any suggestions? Anyone you can recommend? I have one for Sydney already but would like to also try Melbourne and Brisbane or anywhere else you have had a good experience.

Thanks

Liz

I think I know who you are suggesting in Sydney (Hayes) but I doubt complete clearance for the first treatment is likely to happen in one session. They're a miracle worker if they can!

There is a place in Chicago (sorry) that has sessions that are 10-12 hours long with two technicians.

They have an option for getting a "block" (I think that's what they use) which renders your face totally numb.

When I contacted them they warned me that it will still take 4+ sessions to get everything but still not 100%.

Warlockmaker posted about this in Thailand. I've not worked it out, but maybe a few days there would cost the same as having it in Australia. If you found you couldn't tolerate it for that long it would be a waste of a trip though.

I used a couple of technicians for Thermal. I settled for one who was certified in the UK and had done tg before. The latest equipment was used. The white hairs for some reason are very persistent.

The Yanhee hospital has a funny system.  You buy your needle for 65 usd. This they reuse. The 2 hour session cost  usd 125.  Inclusive of novacane. The novacane is very effective and lasted the full 2 hours, working first on the upper lip area and around the lip. There were 2 young technicians with very good eyesight ..thus they could see the white and reddish hairs.  For those with white or reddish hair we know that they are very difficult to see.

At least one woman in my group used Electrology 3000 (?) in Dallas and I believe the same outfit is in Chicago. It does take a few sessions simply because of the hair growth cycle.  You do have to let things grow out for a week or two (bad if you're full-time). One session may do it but.....

Compared to a few hundred hours another woman underwent..... (pre-laser days). All the women in my group who had laser say it's great. The trick is having the right hair color. Us 'Natural' blonds loose out there
