Title: First electrolysis
Post by: SadieBlake on August 17, 2016, 05:52:16 PM
Yay😂! The target is just what's definitely covered by my insurance - perineum, penis shaft, testicles in preparation for surgery. I'm really happy with the place I'm going, the owner has been at it for 40 years.

The best news is I'm apparently a good candidate for both electrolysis and laser. She said she was going faster than usual (no news that this is really low on my pain scale), also that my follicles are black and therefore should respond well to laser also.

Congratulations, I am a graduate of 6 sessions in those locations. I am very happy to be done :)

That is excellent.  The money I have spent on my face on laser and electrolysis for my face is going to be a decent car when this is all done and is a drive-able car now; is it deductible via taxes?

How was the pain compared to face?  I love the laser, it takes care of the rough growth and really makes me see progress and then the electrolysis is for what is left. 

I have been wondering how to ask my electrolysis expert about down there.  I have not said what exactly I am doing but the super long hair is a dead give away and she asked if I had a deadline for my face which I of course do and she seems pretty hip to it.

Liliana, I can't compare, as I'm not doing my face, I don't have the $ for a car and barely $ to keep my business afloat and cover essentials.

I'd have to think it's less tho, our faces have a lot of pain sensing nerves, I know I feel more pain with facial injuries than any others.

This woman's main clientele is trans, wasn't an embarrassing talk, tho I think she sees more cross dressers than transexual patients (she also writes so I picked up her novel).
