Hello everyone, I’m new here!
I recently went to an electrogist for the first time, because I got a ton of beard hear (trans MtF) and while laser removed about half of it, there’s still a huge amount left that no longer responds to laser and is fairly dark. We worked on the chin, for now.
My experience was mixed. A few smaller bits worked out without much issue or bad reactions, but the main area had tons of leakage and traces of blood afterward, and looks like it might have some scarring resulting from it. I can send photos as private message to some experts who might be interested.
Now it seems like this only happened in areas with dense hair, where the electrologist removed all of the dense hair next to each other. I didn’t tell them to do so, I went in there with basically no instructions.
-
Does this indicate over-treatment by working on too many hairs too close to each other? Would the issue therefore likely be resolved by simply insisting next time they only work on spaced out hair?
-
Or do I need to assume they’re doing something else wrong too, that would really require a switch? I would prefer not to switch providers, since there are barely any available in the region, so even if this may have been a bigger mistake to make of the electrologist, I hope to get them to learn rather than immediately dump them.

They’ve been using “Microflash”, not “Blend” which I understand is stronger. When they pluck the hair afterward, there seems to be some resistance which makes me wonder if it’s not killing the root well. However, more than half the hair came out well with the root, as they’ve shown me afterward, so perhaps I’m overthinking this part. And I guess if over-treatment is the issue it might be best to not ask them to switch this for now, although I’m curious in some input on this point as well. (I don’t mind at all if the overall process takes longer. I’m patient. Pain or discomfort probably wouldn’t be much of a decisive factor for me ether.)
Thanks so much for your input!
PS: my region is Freiburg im Breisgau in Germany, if anybody wants to suggest other providers in that region after all. I’ve only seen one other listed nearby however, and their website seems like they potentially use outdated tech, so I’m not sure that’s a good idea to switch to.
