Ah ok. Was not aware of that with the scrotum. Yes of course there are some hairs on that. I was just thinking of the inversion technique I initially got. But dont they also usually remove the upper layer of the skin on the parts they are placing on your insides?

Apparently, they scrap off the hair follicles. But I hear that this isn't always 100% effective, especially if you've had electrolysis, ironically, as the hair follicles are more difficult to find.

Laser isn't permanent. You'd better get laser finished a year before SRS to see if hair actually has stopped growing.


Depending on the treatment and the darkness of the hair and lightness of the skin laser can be permanent or not.  I had the bulk of my face done with Laser and cleaned up the rest of it with electrolysis so I was able to be completely hair free in about a year and a half, maybe two years.

I believe that in the UK a local anaesthetic is used prior to genital electrolysis.  This is done in a hospital environment rather than by a beautician or private clinic.

So how do you find a place that does this? I can hardly ask my electrologist or laser person to do that. (Talking about those annoying couple of hair that bug me post-op)

Talk to your electrologist or laser person.  That is what I did.

Ok, I first have to get an electrologist and then see if I am comfortable telling her about such a special request... Laser will not work for me. I am already post op and laser only works on flat skin. The buggers that I want to get rid of hide a bit more. I dont know if it is even possible without risk and definitely not without a big bit of anaesthesia - so probably something for a clinic and not a private electrologist.
