Hello! I have just begun my electrolosis journey. I have 2 sessions under my belt, and had first clearance on my chin. I’m attempting to get rid of hair on my chin and front of my neck. She hasn’t began on the front of my neck yet, although I think she plans to do that in my appointment that’s scheduled after this next one. I am a female, and have been on spironolactone off and on. I just recently came off of the meds, as my husband and I want to have another child. I am a teacher, which has been great because I can let the hair grow out for 3-4 days so that she can get to them easily, but I’m concerned about what’s going to happen when I have to go back to work. I am hopeful that she can at least get first clearance on the front of my neck before I go back…that is the hardest part, I know. BUT what do your clients do, when they have to go to work letting the hair grow out? I have read somewhere that teachers are VERY high on electrologists clientelle lists, so how do they (or any other working woman that is going through this) get through this? Do they just suck it up and let their co-workers (in my case, students too) see the hair? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
you can clip the hairs. they only have to be long enough to grasp with tweezers. and if you go in often, you shoudn’t have full growth to treat. if would only be random hairs spread out.
Go more frequently the first 4-6 months. Stay on schedule. Clipping is good. Shaving is good. Many of my ladies use an electric razor to disguise bothersome hairs until the situation is under control.
Select an electrologist based on her ability to see hairs that you can’t see. Quality magnification shows a great deal more detail of the skin surface than the cheaper methods. A skilled electrologist can see new anagen hairs and cut them off at the pass before you know the new hair is present.
This isn’t difficult to to do as many working women manage to properly control what hair is present until their next scheduled appointment. Get that first clearance and keep your appointments close together, within a week, until things calm down. And they will. The first six months is the hardest, but don’t look back!
