As for the finer hair your underlip, probe selection is very important. An insulated probe, like a 2 or even a 3 size is very useful. Energy and timing must be lowered if the hair structure is very fine and long. Watch the healing part and give her helpful feedback so she will know what to do if you don’t heal as well as you should. I hope her magnification part is very good so she can see which hairs to treat and which hairs to leave alone.

Hi all. No questions this time, but I just thought I should update since I’m always curious to see how peoples treatment is going.
I had my fifth thirty minute treatment today. Things are going GREAT. I only had one dark/coarse hair that grew in on my chin after my last treatment (2 weeks ago)… and we are gradually getting closer to working on the middle of my upper lip, as well as my lower lip. I am very pleased and hope to get a full clearance within the next two months. There is light at the end of the tunnel, I think- I already feel better about my appearance.
Thanks for the feedback, Natalie.
I’m almost at the 6 month mark now and a little bit worried- I’m gonna stick with it, but it’s a long process, I guess. Almost all the coarse hairs are gone now (I didn’t have too many, by coarse I mean… the ones I could see in normal light, like the bathroom mirror.) maybe I’m just oversensitive to hair now, but I’ll examine my face directly over a fluorescent light after treatments… there’s still a lot of hair there, and I haven’t really had a first clearance yet. I’m happy with the electrologist for the most part, but I wish she were faster… this is the only one in the area that I am able to get to , though.
any board pros making a trip out to western pa sometime soon? 
I just wanted to know if this is ok progress for 6 months…? maybe I’m just hitting the next growth cycle again because there seem to be more hairs when before I felt like we were getting really close to a full clearance. I just want to be done with this hair forever!!
ooh and if it helps, I have been going every week… for 30 minutes, have only missed it once or twice
