I asked my Electrologist when she felt I might be finished with facial Electrolysis as we have already completed the first full clearance and are working on mainly secondary growth, instead of answering me directly she asked me an interesting question,

"When ever you think you are finished is when you are finished, it is up to you wether it is, when every single heavy hair is removed?(now?) or everything apart from a normal amount of villous hair that most women your age(50+) would expect to have? or when every single trace of hair is removed? You guide me"

I had never really thought about it in those terms so I guess my question is pretty straight forward....

At what point did you decide that you were finished with facial hair removal?

I would define "Finished" as the cessation of regular sessions. Ongoing "Stragglers" done on an as needed basis.

It kind of happened by accident with me. I was out to about a 6 week interval for appointments and I normally could look at my face and knew the weekend I was due for an appointment. I was distracted and didn't keep track of the weekends and my roommate and I where doing something out of town when I realized I was due for an appointment but didn't have anything to remove. What I have now is about a dozen hair that could be cleaned up in 5-10 minutes but why bother. Every few weeks I cut them off, takes about a minute and I am done.

That's not a fair question for someone like me with only 3 hours completed. To me it would be forever from now.
