I just wanted to do a quick update. It seems I may have jinxed myself with yesterdays post. As of lastnight the hair on the right side I discussed that could be seen but not felt finally popped thru the skin. I will need to shave today. However, that is a REALLY good sign that I was able to go for 10 days without shaving at all. I was even exfoliating during that time so it’s a case of the hairs just growing A LOT slower. The left seems to still be OK not to shave so we shall see. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I have an appt on tuesday and I know we’re going to do under chin and chin area cuz it’s been a while but I’m quite curious to see how it’s going to go. AAAAHHHHH the excitement! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
CONGRATS!!!
Hi all. I had a 2 hour appointment today. Cleared the chin (which came back with a vengence and hasn’t been touch in a good amount of time…prob about 5-6 weeks?) and most of the under chin/fatty part. This hasn’t been treated in 4-5 weeks. Went pretty well. The right side I began shaving again as I stated but was able to go 10 days without doing so before hair came to the surface. So far, the left side is doing about the same. It’s been 5 days and no hair at the surface yet. I set another appointment for Tuesday next week. Sorry, no pictures today. My camera doesn’t have batteries and I haven’t had a chance to pick them up. Hopefully I will by Saturday so I can do my next “before and after” set! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Good luck all,
Savannah
Hi all. I’ve updated my before and after pictures. They are located here . Not much to add. I have had the right and left sides completely cleared and this time it took each side between 7-10 days before there was hair above the surface. I think that’s a HUGE step in the right direction. I’m seriously thinking of looking in to learning electrolysis and continuing the rest of my quest on my own or even going in to it as a career (would def go to school for that! <img src=“/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif” alt=“” /> ). My boyfriend recently expressed an interest in having some hair removed but does not want to go to anyone to have it done. We could take turns being each others guinea pigs! <img src=“/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif” alt=“” />
Have an appointment tomorrow…hope to update at that time with pictures. <img src=“/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif” alt=“” />
Good luck all,
Savannah

Had a 2 hr appt today. It went much better than my electro and I thought. It’s been 4 weeks now since we touched the right side. We completely cleared the right side in just over an hour and with the remaining time we did some major work on the chin and under part of the chin which is the lagging area as far as treatment time. She was absolutely amazed at how well everything was going today. sings IMPROOOoooOOoooOoooVEMENT end singing <img src=“/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif” alt=“” /> Sorry, I’m just finally REALLY seeing huge success and I’m so elated. Here’s hoping it takes more than 10 days for it to grow back this time! crossing fingers I have an appt next tuesday so we’ll go back to the left side. That hasn’t been doing as well, but it’s ok, it’ll come around…I hope!
Back to my burritos before I burn them. Will get pics up soon.
Good luck all,

I had a 2 hr treatment today. I had her work on the left side because I won’t be able to get in for two weeks and I wanted to get that cleared again. We were able to fully clear it and get to the chin in 2 hours. We did a few strays on the cheeks, it’s been 2 weeks since they were touched and there were 2 hairs on my cheeks…nice improvment. I still have not had to shave the right side, as of today that is 7 days without shaving. Last time it went for 10, the left only lasted 3 so I’m hoping it will go better this time.
I FINALLY took some pictures this morning and hope to get those posted when I get home. Sorry I’ve been slacking on the pics. I’ll try to be better.
So, this is my last update for a few weeks because I can’t get in next week and the week after that she is on vacation, so…PRAY FOR ME! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> LOL
Good luck all,
Savannah
Brava Sav!
What many people don’t understand is that even though many people see their electrologist every week for 2 hours, they are not working on the same exact area of skin every week for 2 hours!
As they say in horse racing, “You are coming around the club house turn!”
Hey all. I haven’t been to the electro yet but I wanted to pop in and do an update.
First of all, is anyone having problems viewing the pics? Someone msg’d me that they have not been able to view them and I wondered if anyone else is having that problem?
My last appointment was June 28 and I’ve noticed a nice improvment. That day we completely cleared the left side as you can read above. I’ve just now had to start shaving again and not all of the hair has poked thru. That’s a total of 10 days without shaving. I was able to go 10 days on the right side before hair poked thru also. The chin and underneath of chin aren’t doing so well but they haven’t had nearly as much treatment. I seem to focus more on the sides and side burns, most noticeable to me. What has grown back is finer/lighter and a lot less. If I would have been able to go in this week as normal I believe we could have cleared the left and right sides out in 2 hours time! <img src=“/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif” alt=“” /> With my work schedule and my electro being on vaca for a few days I’m not able to get in until next friday but I’m not freaking out too bad. It’s just not that horrid anymore, thank GOD!
Anyway, just wanted a quick update. I’ve FINALLY updated pictures, I’m so sorry it took so long. Definitely worth checking out to see the right side tho…I’m very proud <img src=“/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif” alt=“” />

Hi all.
I had a 2 hr session on Friday the 15th. It had been quite a while since my last treatment due to vacations and work schedules. We worked on the chin because it has been a long time since that has been touched. It took 2 hours to completely clear the chin and some parts under it. Not too good, but, it hasn’t had all that much work.
I go again this Friday and am going to work on the right side where there isn’t too much. We’ll be able to clear that for sure and possibly the left, not sure. I’ll update at that time. I have pictures, I just need to get them uploaded and hope to do that this evening after work.
Good luck all,
Savannah
Hi everyone.
Had a 2 hr appointment today. Went very well. For some reason it was rather painful today compared to normal, probably because it’s so hot here and my body is stressed from that. We were able to totally clear the right side and then some. We did right side burn, cheek (strays), right side, chin, and under chin almost to the left side. This was all accomplished in 2 hours. Very good progress compared to the like 2x2 (I seriously don’t know how big but we could not make too much of a dent) spot we could clear in two hours when I first started! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Doing normal aftercare but for some reason my skin had a horrible reaction to the tea tree oil today. Again it might be the heat/sweat or something. I have pictures, I really do, I’m just having some problems with the host site at the moment. I’m hoping to get them up tomorrow if it will cooperate. I have my before and after for this month I need to get up and then the last two sessions. It will get done…sometime and soon I hope.
I have another 2 hr appointment next thursday and she’s positive we’ll get the rest of it totally cleared out. That will be awesome because I’ve been able to go 2 weeks at a time without doing any sort of hair removal after each clearing now. After next week I may never have to shave my face ever again if I can get back in a weekly groove. I hope I’m not being too optimisitc! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Crossing fingers
Good luck all,
Savannah
You are not being to optomistic. The clients who actually follow my most aggressive treatment plan can usually stop shaving in 4 to 6 weeks, and let me be the only hair removal they do.
Today did not go as well as I had hoped. The left side and my chin are going to be the death of me, I swear it. We were able to clear MOST of the left side but still have the entire underneath of my chin which I was hoping we would get to. I do have an appointment monday and hopefully we can clear that and clean up the sides and I won’t have to shave anymore…at this point I’m getting really irritated by still having to, it’s only a couple of days that I have to shave before it’s cleared again but just tired of it. snarl
Other than that, things are going well. I’m starting school in 3 weeks and reaalllyyy want this to be TOTALLY under control, which it pretty much is, but, I want…I don’t know, I know you all understand the point I can’t get across! LOL
ANYWAY, I’ve FINALLY updated pictures…all together now YAY.
New progress pics are here: http://www.yesalbum.com/v001/sd101483
New Before and Afters here: http://www.yesalbum.com/v001/Rainflower
hey Sav remeber i told u about the problem i had with viewing ur pics…wel again i cant view these new ones
Are you just clicking on the link and it won’t work or are you trying to copy and paste? They seem to be working for me on all computers I’ve tried. Is anyone else having problems?
Sav, iv tried both…copying and pasting the link and clicking the link…but a message pops up…telling me to login and it goes to this http://www.yesalbum.com/index.php…i even registered to the site b4 so i could login but even when i tried that it goes back to telling me to login and to the address above.
Sav, the links just worked for me. You can really see the difference!! You no longer have a shadow, though it looks like you might have those dreaded red dots? (i had them too). just wondering, are you doing anything for them?
susie
Susie, thanks for letting me know the links worked for you. I’ve been kind of baffled by why they won’t work for poor Simran. I do see a difference, a pretty sizeable one too. It just gets so very frustrating and annoying some days, which I’m sure you know well! <img src=“/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif” alt=“” /> And yes, I seem to be getting those darn dots. I really didn’t have any problems until lately. I wonder if it has to do with the extreme heat we have been having and maybe sweat is sneaking in and I’m not realizing it or something. I really don’t know what to do for them. I’ve been continuing with the after care of washing with mild soap and water, applying tea tree oil, and also polysporin. I keep applying the polysporin for 2 to 3 days afterwards. They do seem to fade on their own but I keep getting new ones with each appointment. Trade one problem for another, yeeesh! lol <img src=“/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif” alt=“” />
Today I had a 2 hour appointment and I feel it went well. I think the new pics show it too. We finished up the left side, made it to the middle of the chin and the under part. It went fast and it really didn’t hurt too much today. With my schedule I am not able to go back until the 12th which is a shame because I feel the more I can go right now the more I’ll be able to pull ahead. Maybe I’ll try to sneak in on Saturday if I can. If so, I’ll update.
Please be sure to check out the pics http://www.yesalbum.com/v001/sd101483 I really like the ones I added today…show a nice improvement.
As always, the before and after’s are here http://www.yesalbum.com/v001/Rainflower
but those won’t be updated until the 18th.
Thanks for looking and good luck to everyone!
Savannah
Just me…update time. Had a 2 hr appt on Friday…technically only worked about 1 1/2 hrs due to many factors and we got the whole right side cleared all the way to the middle of chin and a little more. Been about 3 weeks since I’ve had that area worked on. The hair is starting to grow in already but it’s very soft and very fine so it’s liveable. I have an appointment on Friday of this week and then I’m going to go Monday and Tuesday next week to REALLY get on top of things as I start school next Wednesday and life will be even more hectic!
Have pictures and need to get them uploaded, will post back when that’s done.
Good luck all,
Savannah
Hey all,
Sorry for slacking with my posts…I’m back in school full time and it’s totally kicking my arse!
I’ve had a couple of treatments since my last post and there is a HUGE differance. I swear to you I could probably somewhat accurately count the hair that is visible now compared to not even being able to see skin before. It seems to be growing in within a few days now as compared to the couple of weeks but there is such a small amount, it doesn’t bother me. I do have pictures, I just have to find time to rip myself away from med term and human anatomy to get them uploaded. This may take a while and I apologize.
I don’t have another appointment set up yet but I’m hoping either Monday or next Saturday. Things are thrown off with school and what not but I hope to keep my weekly appointments considering I am so nearing the light at the end of the tunnel! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Hope everyone is doing well in their treatments. Best of luck to you. I’ll pop in as much as possible but I’m going in to the medical field so PLEASE forgive me for not keeping totally current.
Good luck all,
Savannah
To those who have sent me PM’s…I sincerely apologize that I have not gotten back to you. As soon as I have another break, I will get you answered. Please, keep them coming…I love them, I’m just busy busy busy! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
