Ale, are you male or female?

Swinging Monkey- you had electrolysis done at a school and you had a bad experience? Shocker!

She is wrong in that, as the pros here say all of the time, with good vision equipment and skill those vellus hairs can be treated successfully.

Anyone who says that the probe would probably be larger than the hair would seem to be ignorant of the fact that there are 5 to 7 probe sizes, depending on the manufacturer of the probes one is using.

We are getting WAY off topic here. So far no one has addressed any of my original questions.

As for the things I've mentioned about electrolysis I'm just going by memory, I could have things wrong or this could be simply her opinion based on experience. Anyway, NOT important to this topic.

Back to my original question, can anyone give me some ideas on what to expect after my appointment? I know what the standard reactions are, but I was hoping for someone to tell me about their experience with laser.
