Hi Roma:
If you can get full clearance on some of the areas you pictured and then maintain regular treatments on any new or regrowth hairs you will be rid of them eventually. Plus it will look a lot better since what does regrow will be shorter and sparser.
I think weekly at first and then every second week would do the trick.
On the plus side it looks much improved and you don't have that dense a growth to contend with.
Good luck!

I am working on a woman now that has a very similar problem to yours, except that it is blond, long hair. Last evening 1,180 insertions were accomplished in an hour. It made a dramatic difference on her left side and neck. She only comes once a month (her choice), but I would prefer and she would be happy sooner if she came once a week until it became visibly perfect. She has "tons" of hair and I mean "tons". If she stayed close to me with an aggressive schedule up front for at least four months, we could have this under control much sooner and then maintain the area for the rest of the months ahead to catch any new growth or regrowth. I love challenging cases like this because the end result is so dramatic and life changing.
Clearing the area quickly requires the right epilator, magnification, positioning and lighting. Setting the auto sensor mode to .4 seconds, or whatever timing the electrologist is comfortable with, will move this along nicely.

I should also add i haven't gotten any treatment on my stomach for 2 months now, because she wont do any thing longer than 45 minutes, should I talk to her about that, i would like it if we were working for at least an hour on my face and another hour on the stomach, that's how long we were working on those areas with my previous electrologist. her time is so limited she only works three days a week, so i see why she cant do any longer than 45 minutes.. I would love it if i can get this cleared in a marathon session lasting anywhere from 2 hours to 5 ..

Today I had my third treatment done on the my sideburns , and neck. I got there on time so we used all my 30 minute appointment. It's been 5 hours since my treatment my skin is not as red, however I do have the red dots from where the hair was removed. but that's normal and I always get that . Anyway my electrologist told me that I should stay out sunlight through out my treatment, because the redness will be permanent if I don't take care of my skin. I'm very happy with my appointment today, even though it was almost a month since my last treatment and I had alot regrowth she still did an amazing job and removed alot of hair. I asked for a 45 minute appointment for next time but she was booked up so I made an half hour appointment with her for next tuesday. I think I will be getting a full clearance on my sideburns, and neck by end of this month if I go in weekly. By the way I like posting pictures here because I can see my progress( I don't save the pics on my computer).

Roma great to hear that you are doing so well. I'm having a similar area done and after nearly 4 1/2 hours of treatment over a three week period she's advised me to give it three weeks before going to back her. My skin did scab a lot so I think it also needed a break. At the moment am loving the cleared areas. Will be interesting and a little disheartening to see how much comes back over the next three weeks.

Some hair will come back as REGROWTH inevitably and some hair will be coming up for the first time as NEW GROWTH. D be ready for this and don't get bummed out. Keep pushing forward courageously!
