We shall see! Likely, she will let the area rest for a while to see what, if anything, re-grows there.

Often the fear of how bad something may be, is much worse than the eventuality.
Indeed it is. Fear is a funny thing. Without it, we'd be dead. Yet, by its very nature, it is pessimistic. I am learning to approach my fears, at least the transition-related ones, rather than running away from them.
I am also learning to trust people. My electrologist, in particular, is very good about not giving my more than I can handle. She checks in with me frequently during a session to make sure I am still okay. She anticipates which areas are likely to be more painful, and asks how the first zap in such an area was before carrying on. When she does the painful areas, like my upper lip, she works for 15 minutes only, then moves on to other areas, because she is aware of how quickly the numbing cream wears off. And she has given me detailed instructions on pain management, in particular how to apply the Emla cream and how to cover it up for maximum effect.
The result of her skillful care is that I trust her judgement on how much pain I can tolerate. When she said she wanted to do my nostrils, I was a bit scared, but I prepared the way she told me to, trusting that she knew it would be okay. And it was fine.
