they use a Lynton Lasers i think it's called, they said its only 3 months old the laser and the guy seemed to know alot about it and about how high the settings could go.
i think it's called LUMINA Q.

and what do you mean by that? like the fine hairs becoming darker and more coarse?

electrologists out there.

i reckon my electrologist could clear the whole area of my back hair that is fine and dark in about an hour and a half.

my question is, how long would it take to remove it for good? and how often will i need to go to the clinic, like every week or every month etc?

i know i ask alot of questions and thank you for your help. i just dont want to jump into something like i did with IPL.

thanks

Time to completion cannot be accomplished in less than 9 months. You can be finished in 9-12 months IIIIIFFFFF you get a first full clearance, up front, ASAP!!, and then keep an aggressive schedule to zap any NEW hairs that come to the skin's surface after that clearance. The electrologist must work hard, meaning, speedily and accurately, with stamina, and you must show up and be on the table for the amount of time it takes to clear an area and keep that area clear. Is that clear??

If an electrologist does not know this concept, or does not present this concept to you, then there is no excuse for you not telling her what you want because now you know it.

The beginning journey is hard because hair comes up to the surface of the skin in waves and waves and waves and waves and waves and waves and waves over a course of 9 months. Good news: Each wave gets less and less. You have to be patient, but your patience is only required for a year to a year and a half. For those of you that have back hair that looks like fuzzy, black carpet, you will need more time, as your first clearance won't come as easy as this young man who is just starting his hair growth patterns.

Hair removal via electrolysis is not like buying a car, a shirt or a tablecloth. These items have no variables involved with time or cost - they are what the are. Choose the car, pay, done with, simple, cut and dry. Not so with permanent hair removal. We can only speak in generalities. Permanent hair removal cannot be assigned an accurate cost amount or time amount because there are a lot of hurdles to jump and every hairy client has a different set of issues. Couple that information with the fact that every electrologist has his/her own style and speed, not to mention, equipment choices. We are not clones of all the excellent electrologists who deliver results in a decent time frame, though that would be awesome for the consumer if we were.

Time and cost questions are the most difficult questions to answer, but right next to them is hair growths cycles. ugh. Understanding both of these concepts well will get you hair free and smooth. Expectations need to be realistic, but the great news is, electrolysis works on any hair structure, any hair color, on any color of skin 100% of the time when it is performed correctly and professionally.

Long answer as usual to a short question, but these issues can't be emphasized enough.

thanks dee.

i'm sick of being told by some clinic that laser can get the areas, but since i can see its not and that i havent got that much hair, and they say it takes about a year to be hair free with laser why wait that long when i know electroloysis could be more effective with my finer hair. im going to get in contact with the clinic and get an appointment to get this cleared at the end of this week, they said i will be here for at least a year and to get permentant removal that doesnt bother me, plus with electroloysis the hair is removed from the follicle there and then so i dont have to sit around for 3 weeks to see if it has work, and then when a new 1 comes in i can get it!!

thanks this is my mind made up no more listening to clinics

they use the blend technique so i guess this will be pretty quick to help get a clearance.

thanks dee, i might even start a diary.
