thanks i have thought about this awhile and your post has got me excited. thats if you can get excited about hair removal. i'm going for a consultation on saturday to see the electrologist to see what they say.

on there website they only mention 15 mins and 30 mins sessions but i'm guessing they might do hour ones if you ask or i could just do 30mins 1 days and go back the day after and get the area cleared as quick as possible.

it doesnt give away what type of electrolysis it is but it just says advanced electrolysis so it should be pretty up to date.

thanks

A good skilled electrologist using a newer machine and a type of thermolysis electrolysis (microflash, picoflash etc are fastest) can easily remove 5-10 hairs per minute. So you can calculate youself how long it would take. Keep in mind that what you see now is only about 20-30% of all the hair you have there.

We can help you get off to a good start, so come back if you have any questions, but help us out here and read as much as you can about how good electrolysis care should proceed. There are plenty of past posts about hair growth cycles. Hair growth cycles are the core of understanding why you need to be true to a good schedule. Keep punching that man hair and partner with a professional electrologist that has good computerized equipment and decent speed.

We're here for you if you get stumped along the way.

scottish123: Yes. What they all said wink I would guess I get a hair removed every 5-10 seconds (hard to be sure since it's mostly on my collar area and shoulders and back) so I would guess anywhere from 300-600 hairs in an hour session. Obviously it depends on the person doing it and your physical attributes. Just be thankful you're not having an entire back+shoulders+chest+neck done, then you'd be in for 6 hour sessions every week!
