How long did electrolysis take to clear your face?

[Charlotte Kitty ✅]

I've had 12 laser sessions but a load of black hairs not getting the message. So now doing electrolysis.  Only about 4 small patches on corners of mouth, under mouth and under nose. Hopefully not too many sessions.

I think I've had 8 laser sessions which had me at greys on for a while.

Now my top lip looks dirty.

I knew laser would not be enough but I didn't expect to feel so good having a beard that doesn't stand out.

Electrolysis.... let's see how much it hurts

I am finally at the end of my electrolysis journey, all up almost 300 hours of blend. I was having 3 hours every week when I first started in 2019, but moderated that over the years, and now I get a 40 minute session 3 times a year to clean up the stubborn hairs. I have a high pain tolerance, but it is still a session I dread. I tried 3 different operators, and experienced 3 different levels of pain, and I know that the pain level is related to effectiveness.

I'm in Australia, and the costs were around AUD$100/hour, which makes it one of the more expensive procedures in MTF transition. I would like those who keep saying transitioning is a choice to experience 10% of what we go through and see what they think then!

Hugs,
