Hi:
It is nice to hear that other electrologists can provide marathon sessions too without lidocaine. I think even if someone can only arrange for or handle a 2-3 hour session at first they are best to get as many of those as close as possible together till they get to full clearance. Once they have achieved full clerance if they maintain a regular schedule they can maintain the clearance with less effort and get permanently rid of the hair in less total hours.
I agree with what the last poster said about there being a danger of overtreatment when using lidocaine. People might also be scared into thinking that it is a “must have thing” too, when as the example above points out that wasn’t their experience.
I think another reason places like E-3000 may be popular is
that they deal with the TS or even CD crowd who are closeted and want to maintain their anonymity. They might be worried about going to the local electrologist and if they will be accepted, outed or whatever. I really feel that some of these people are letting their fear get the best of them since most electrologists today deal with a percentage of “transgender” customers. My own electrologist says that she has learned a lot
about TS women and acceptance from dealing with me for instance.
