As you can see from the above, whether you get a student discount on a pay as you go schedule, you will be paying the same amount for 15mins of treatment as you would for prepaid 90mins.
You only make significant savings if you pay for 6 hours or more in advance. If you have the money this is preferable as you will definitely use much more than 6 hours.
To be honest, 90mins should finish in like 2 weeks if you want to clear the areas soon.
To answer the sensaiton (did anyone say pain?) question, your nerves are set up to be a warning system. It is designed to tell you when you may be in danger of injury. Because of this, you have more nerves around bones than you do around muscle or organs. Anytime you get work done on bone, you will feel it more than on more hollow areas. The hollow of the cheek has less treatment sensation than the jawbone or cheekbone area. The only exception to this is the lips, as this area has double the nerves so that it can tell you if you are being punctured from something sticking you from outside, or worse yet, inside your mouth. (Anyone who has tried to eat a handfull of Dorrito’s has experienced the benefits of this system.
With good electrolysis, one would not feel the insertion, but with good electrolysis, the practitioner would be applying the treatment energy very soon after insertion, so the illusion of the treatment energy being simultaneous to insertion would be the client’s perspective. I am sure that she could insert the probe and take it out many times without you even knowing. I do this myself with needle shy people during consultations all the time.
I think I could feel it slowly, her doing the work. Like, inside needle, then the energy, then taking it out (which I couldn’t feel) then inserting it somewhere else and the same procedure. Well there’s a bone right under it so I guess that explains it, but if that means the other places are easier, then I am happy. I guess the lack of electrologists here makes us satisfied with what we’ve got because she is good, but probably because of her machine and all sorts it’s not as good as it can get. Well I do want to come to America and get it done there in one day but that’s a long dream yet, lol.
I had electrolysis done (test patch) just near the end of my eyebrow (because I have alot of baby hairs where my hair on my head is) and that hurt, because there’s a bone underneath.
Ever since that day I’ve been getting bad headaches. Is there a link? I don’t normally get headaches nor has anything out of my normal lifestyle changed.
The only ting about electrolysis that could give you a headache would be the stress, and/or the position you are in for long periods or the pressure placed on the neck and upper back causing tension, and or muscle spasms. The procedure itself, that is the treatment energy can’t do this.
I’m not really sure about this, but one of the pros can correct me if I am wrong. The first consultation I went to felt like an super-quick injection with an after feeling much like a mosquito bite, the second was 25% super-quick injection feeling, but in the third I didn’t feel anything but a zap after insertion of the probe during treatment. I thought the third one felt as it should.
Pokka, I have to say the Apilus supposed to have minimal discomfort. You are going to experience more of a ‘sensation’ or discomfort with the older machines, even when the electrolysis is good.
Hi Stopit, It was definitely minimal considering I felt like it was being done properly, and I am quite sensitive - a better description being, I am a wuss . Plus, it was much more comfortable overall as I knew what to expect after the first few minutes, this might change through the course of the treatment but it was really nice to experience that when you’re feeling nervous.
Hi Sista, are you worried about probe insertion with your current treatments?
Okay, is it more likely to feel the probe insertion where there is bone e.g. above the eyebrows or on the side? stopit, did you feel it? I think we need the Apilus lol.
hiya Sista. i really don’t think you are feeling the insertion. i know it feels like it but i actually think it’s the initial sensation of the current. that’s why you are feeling it more on the boney areas.the area where i get the sensation the most is the upper lip; even when she is using a really, really fine needle it feels like something ‘going in’ but i’m pretty sure it isn’t having spoken to her about it.
pain-wise, i guess an Apilus will be beneficial but i was a bit disheartened to read Pokka’s post (very glad you’ve found someone good though dear!). naively i thought it’s a miracle machine, lol.
because other than the fact i experience more discomfort with my current treatment, my electrologist seems just as good as the Apilus lady in Dorking. her speed with blend is the same as Pokka mentioned and her diathermy is much quicker. my skin reaction is also redness and slightly raised skin for no more than an hour, nothing longer term. the only thing i yearn for is faster work!
