Hi,

I've got excess hair on my face and started shaving it about 5 yrs ago. I've got nothing medically wrong with me, I just have to do it daily now as its got coarser and denser. I've tried laser an ipl which didn't work as i am blonde. I'm now just starting to use meladine which apparently will increase the melanin in my hair follicles and trick the laser into thinking my hair is brown which is most suitable for laser. Has anyone got any success stories on this?

Thanks :-)

No, I haven't. Why are you not exploring electrolysis?

Thanks for your reply.

I have tried electrolysis and had in done on the sides of my face to blend the hair back to my shave line but theres too much hair under my chin.

There is never too much hair for a skilled, modern electrologist. Do you live in the United States?

No, I live in the U.K.

Have you checked out several electrologists in your locale, sampling their treatments? Are there any using the computerized forms of flash thermolysis (MicroFlash/ PicoFlash) or even flash thermolysis?

Thank you.

I'll look into it as I haven't heard of this treatment before.

I'm surprised Meladine is still being produced. It's shown itself to be an expensive disappointment.

Electrolysis is the only option with blond hair. Why do you think you have too much for electrolysis? Did an electrologist tell you that?

Well, keep reading hairtell, there is a lot of information you could use. Just know that electrolysis has been around for 13 decades and it keeps getting better for those practitioners that want to modernize. The principles are very much the same as far as damaging hair follicles goes, but there have been some newer modalities added to our "toolbox" in recent years. Computerized epilators are just awesome.

If an electrolgist in your locale is still doing blend on a "turn the dial" machine, then you will still get permanent hair removal as long as she / he is skilled. The newer forms of electrolysis speed things along nicely, sensation is decreased and skin outcome is much better as you heal between treatments.

I sincerely wish you much success in your search.Let us know how all this woks out for you. Okay?
