question for profs.
How long do u usually need to accomplish first clearance on female buttock?
How many hours and in what time frame?
To give an idea; i have fine long hairs which did not respond to laser cause they are brownish and probably too fine.
an estimation would be appreciated… 
I don’t think anyone can give you that kind of estimate without working on you.
The best we can offer is that if you take an eyeliner pencil and mark a 1 centimeter box in the area with the most hair, you can then count how many noticeable hairs you have in that square centimeter, and then measure the area of the full space you want worked on.
This will give you an idea of how many hairs per square centimeter, and how many hairs total you want removed. If you multiply the number of hairs per square centimeter by 2.5, it will give you the number of hairs per square inch.
Now, as for how long it would take to get to first clearance in that area, that would now depend on how many hairs per minute the person who actually works on you requires to remove a hair, on you, in this area. Once you get all that information, you will have a better idea of what you are in for.
Actually, try multiplying the number of hairs per square centimeter by 6.5 to get the number of hairs per square inch…
acctually i was hoping to hear in ur experience and ur cases what was situation like…
how many hours can one work on that area without overtreating. considering it is large area…
how much time u normally ur treatment last on that area…what would u recomend?
Overtreating isn’t the a problem here. Getting the client to lay on the table for as long as possible to get a clearance can be. If you are the restless type, then break up the time to clearance by going twice weekly until you are clear. As James said, clearance depends on the amount of hair you have and the speed and accuracy of the electrologist doing your work. We are all different and we all have our particular epilator and modality choices.
I have used the faster forms of electrolysis, microflash and picoflash, and I can go speedily along. My last case was cleared in 3-4 hours, but that means nothing for your case because every one presents with their very own thumb print for hair.

We can’t give you the type of information you wish on this, because it is not an area where there is any kind of “average amount of hair to work on.” It would be different if you asked about an upper lip. We can tell you an average with male or female, as this is an area where there really is an average, so we can say expect this as a base line, and you could need more or less work depending on your own differences.
The area you discussed doesn’t have that kind of average availalbe, especially since we don’t know what level of removal you want. Some people scrutinize hairs others don’t even take notice of, while others just want those that are obviously out of place, and way to thick and long for the area they are on.
I have tried lhr twice on that area- no success…
now i am struggling to find electrologist willing to do the work… Most places i have contacted said straight they do not perform it on such a large area.
Eventually I have found one nice lady and went for 2 treatments so far… I am not too delighted with her( no gloves, pre or aftercare but it seems to me that at least she is not plucking but actually killing the root. She has been doing electrolysis for years now. She owns a beauty salon and is the only one working there.
The things that bother me the most is the speed. She uses an old machine with foot pedal.
Now, i might be going to London soon so i thought to try to get clearance there with real electrologist and modern equipment.
The thing is i will have only 2 weeks there and about 4000 hairs to treat…
This is why i raised that question ; approx how many hours…
thanks for ur responses :-
If you truly have 4,000 hairs or so, then you are looking at 8 hours worth of electrolysis for clearance if the electrologist can do 500 hairs per hour with microflash or picoflash thermolysis in auto sensor mode (no foot switch). If she can do 600 hairs per hour, then you are looking at about 6.5 hours worth of electrolysis, 700 hairs per hour equals 5.75 hours and so on. I think it is reasonable to conclude that most microflash/picoflash electrologists are in the 500 to 600 range, but it is not inconceivable to find others that are faster.
During treatment i have the same skin reaction as when i was going for lhr. raised folicules and swollen area… by the next day it gets better and i am usually left with small scabs. Is that normal?
we are doing 40 minute sessions.
On body area this is normal. It is possible to have less skin reaction, and faster healing, but this is normal.
i forgot to raise this question in earlier post…
should i feel the insertion of a probe. I feel it like a bee bite but i dont feel when she actually removes the hair with tweezers. i dont think i could endure for more than an hour…
Usually, it is not the insertion the person feels, but the application of the treatment energy. I can insert and withdraw, and reinsert without the client knowing that I have done anything. In fact, I do this with people who say they are “afraid of needles” during a consultation. As I distract them while talking to them, I insert and withdraw, and reinsert, and then leave it in, and then ask them if they are ready, and then point out that the probe is all the way in. They are shocked to see the whold thing burried to the hilt. Then I show them that all they will feel is the treatment energy.
Now if your practitioner is using a short insertion delay, like I do, the difference between the insertion and the treatment is less than a second, and therefore felt as being simultaneous.
