My First Electro


Guest Vicky

Recommended Posts

I am so happy, because I have booked my first electrolysis appointment for Nov13.

But I am not sure to shave before the treatment, or should I leave it grow for a few days?

My electrolysis is on Saturday mornings....

My electrologist doesn't want me to shave from Thursday morning until after the appointment...They have to be able to see them and on each one when the process happens, she lifts it out with tweezers, so, there has to be something there to get a hold on!

Good luck, Honey!

Oh good, Dee Jay got there with the information - you have to have enough hair for them to see it and to get hold of it - also all hairs are not growing at the same time and they need to zap the follicles while they are active and the growth from the previous 2 days will show them the active ones.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Love ya,

Sally

Thank you Donna Jean, so I need to stop shaving two or three days before the appointment.

Yes, Sweetie.....True...

But, that's the part that I hate the most...Oh, I can take the needle and laying there for long hours at a time, but letting it grow out for 2-3 days just kills me!

I have to tell you that I sure don't feel very girly on Saturday morning after a couple of days of beard growth!

I want it off! And I want it off NOW!

Oh well, patientence is a virtue....just don't push it too far.....lol

Good Luck, Baby!

I am the same way Donna Jean, I just can't stand it on my face. I heard that electro is a bit painful. But I don't care if painful or not, I want to remove it all so bad! :lol:

Huggs, Lily

I am still trembling after my first electro, it was today. And it hurts, yayy! I felt scared just like as at the dentist. She showed me the needle, and oh, it is going deep into the skin, so i just grabbed that ground one hand and held it so strong all the way long... She did a very good job though, so i will keep on going, and I am so happy to make this small little first baby steps.

Today I had my second electro, and it hurted at every single time the needle was under my skin. This time the treatment was half an hour long... I just closed my eyes and thought about how nice my face will be as a woman...

Good for you, Sweetheart....

It's truly amazing what us women will do to ourselves in the name of beauty, isn't it?

I never thought that I would let someone stick an electrified needle into my face 55,000 times and pay for the privilege!

Geez....

Keep it up, though, Sweetheart....this is not an open ended thing that we do....it does come to an end eventually!

Love & OUCHIE HUGGS!

      Satisfaction   Satisfaction. The feeling when something meets or exceeds your expectation. You feel satisfaction when you expected to get something, and then got it.

      Good morning, everyone! I've finally pretty much finished with this head cold. I actually got 5.5 hours of straight sleep last night without taking any cold medication...or waking up to pee. I feel amazingly rested!!   Oh, @Willow, you are in my thoughts and prayers that your throat issue becomes less of a problem over time and not more.   I'm, hopefully, going to get our grass cut today. It takes me somewhere between 2.5 and 3 hours on the zero turn mower but the ground is still so wet that I'll have to slow down a bit. At least it's supposed to be sunny and around 60.   Have a wonderful day!!

      This is all such wonderful news!!!! I can feel the happiness in your words.

      We have had some real dillies come out as the initiative sort of thing, but as @Carolyn Marie said, very few make it out of the petition signing seasons.  I am not surprised at the origin site of this thing, it is probably one of only 3 regressive leaning counties we have in the state. We actually had one of these initiatives started to make it mandatory for police to shoot dead on site any Gay behaving individuals wherever they found them.  For the most part the matters are poorly written in ways to be unenforceable even if enacted.  Thus most never become law or get to the voters.

      You make some good points, AYS.  But there are usually already too many ballot propositions each election, so the proponents know it's best to wrap it all up into a nice package.  Plus, it's easier for the signature gatherers.  Otherwise they have to have a separate clipboard for each proposition.  Too much paperwork, dontcha know?   This kind of proposition is a loser in CA, so the only possible way the proponents can succeed is to give it the scariest title imaginable and try to put one over on the voters before they get wise.  Bottom line; an ice cube on a hot summer sidewalk has a better chance of success.   Carolyn Marie

      Reading that article, it seems like the attorney general gets to call it whatever unless its an outright lie.  Given the nature of politics in CA, it seems like one side has the bully pulpit for sure.  Labeling it "Restricts Rights" vs "Protects Kids" is very much a matter of perspective.  Unfortunately, that matters since many voters don't bother to read.  Perhaps a better (unbiased) way to handle it would be to simply give the ballot measure a number with no title, forcing folks to read it.    I think it would have been better to handle the various issues covered by the ballot measure separately, rather than all at once.  For example, issues relating to disclosure of medical and social information to parents.  That could be its own ballot measure, rather than lumped in with everything else.  Besides, shorter and more succinct measures are more likely to be read completely.
