Title: Electrology 3000 in 2 months?
Post by: Shynoir on February 10, 2011, 11:00:02 PM
Hi there,

Your response need not be specific to e3k but just give me a general idea if it might work out. From India to Dallas, TX. Hotel stay two weeks ($872 USD). Then the airplane fare costs me about $4800 USD for a round trip. So, I can't make several trips there and have to get as much done in the two weeks I'll be in Dallas, TX. I currently plan to book appointment with them based on the following schedule.

Quote
----------------------------------------
MY FIRST TRIP TO DALLAS, TX
----------------------------------------

[WEEK ONE] 6hrs - Monday

[WEEK ONE] 6hrs - Wednesday

[WEEK TWO] 6hrs - Monday

[WEEK TWO] 6hrs - Tuesday

That's 24 hours of clearings out of 40.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
MY SECOND TRIP TO DALLAS, TX (1 Month Interval)
-----------------------------------------------------------------

[WEEK ONE] 6hrs - Wednesday

[WEEK ONE] 6hrs - Thursday

[WEEK TWO] 4hrs - Wednesday


That completes the remaining 16 hours for clearings.

Now, I'm totally ignoring the recommended 6-8 weeks of intervals between each clearing. I'm wondering if the clearings will be effective enough. Do you think one month interval after an intensive 24 hour clearing in the first trip is enough? From your electrolysis experience (in general) do you think the clearings need to be spaced out a little more to get effective results? :-\

sounds good, but two things:
the airfare shouldn't cost more then $1500ish USD via Gulf Air, Etihad Airlines, KLM, or Delta

as far as time inbetween, it sounds like they are modeling after recommended time between laser treatment, the 6-8 weeks is the usual growth cycle rate, going after 6 weeks or so would make sure that hairs are in the right part of the cycle so they can be killed at best rate

Oh? I will not be doing any laser at all. Actually. E3k has not confirmed my schedule, that was the schedule I'm going to approach them with.

The fare is actually around that, starting from my local airport. However, there is my twin too. Then mother for moral support. >.<
