Uha, if this is done with a needle you must be really tough.

That hurts like hell in this area, tried that and switched to laser treatment for this reason.

Still permanent after some years, just some hairs came back after 4 years.

I wish you luck and please avoid the sun, sauna, solarium and cosmetics for a minimum of 48 hours

One of the many reasons I've chosen to go with Brassard...he recommends against genital hair removal.

I would have preferred to have electrolysis down there but my electrologist is not comfortable doing the genital area whether male or female, and i was unable to find anyone in the area that was, so i have been getting laser for the last 7 months instead, since i am not very hairy down there i figure it is better than nothing.

All I can say is...

OUCHIE!!

According to Brassard, some is worse than none/incomplete.

Mcginn says some is better than none, difference of opinion between surgeons, anyway i am almost completely cleared, 2 more sessions before surgery..

The best thing to do is what the surgeon you are going to recommends

That's the reeeeaaally dreadful part I am thinking of going to Dr Mcginn! I have been dreading that stage of the process for a year now and it is slowly getting to the point I need to do something!

Oh for Pete's sake......

I've had 65 hours on my face (electrolysis) hair by hair...

I've taken hormones until my boobs hurt like hell....

I've taken HRT until I can't stop crying....

I've lost almost everything......

I'll be putting a very serious operation in the hands of a doctor that I will pay thousands...

I will do what they say......

None is better...none is worse...all are different...we get to where we're going!

GOOD LUCK, ANNA!

I had laser done down there. Actually, it wasn't nearly as bad as the face was. When you think about it, there's a lot less hair down there, so there's not much density. One or two per "jolt" is much less painful than the 15 or 20 at once on the face!

[Guest Anna_SF]

wow, that was an experience and a half. part of me wanted to jump off the table and scream out onto the street below for help! I told her I might try and take a nap because I had fallen asleep during the facial electro recently. my legs also had a lot of involuntary spasms - she said that was common. I'm only doing it because it's a 2 for 1 deal - Painful and expensive! Yippee.

[Guest Anna_SF]

the truly amazing part is that I made a second appointment!

[Sally]

.

WOW!

I would have jumped off of the table!

It would have been an amazing coming out story as I would not have lingered for reassembling any clothing - just getting away from there!

I am amazed that you made that second appointment - you are a very determined lady.

Love ya,

Sally

[Guest Frank67]

You are really going there for a second time! Hmmm, it seems that girls are much tougher than boys.

I just managed to sit still for 5 minutes and then I told her to stop. Every hair was damned, ouch, jesus and so on. Every word that came into my mind was a bad one and believe me I know a lot. If the seat have had armrests I think I would have ripped them out with ease. And to be honest I had tears in my eyes. So we switch to the laser and did the whole area at once cuz it wasn't sooo bad but after that my skin was really red *lol* for a day. After that all you could see were little red spots - each for every hair - yippie. Would I do it again, lol yes I do, but just on my chest and there it is really not painful. I do look like a clown then because they have to paint my areola (hope thats the right word) and my nipples.

Hope you get good results, I like mine

I've had two years of bi-weekly laser sessions on my face, and a year on my bikini. Both before surgery of course. And I STILL have to shave or pluck my face daily and shave my bikini about once a week. Laser was almost worthless for me. Wish I would've just sucked it up and gone with electrolysis to begin with.

[Guest Anna_SF]

Just a quick update: I went back to me original electrologist because her thermolysis machine is way more advanced and I only get a quick jolt. The pain is less than half of the other electro. the woman's machine was quite old and i could feel the heat rising in the needle - that is what made it so awful. Some people can handle it, i could not! I'm just glad I found a solution - I did not think I could handle it ever.

[Guest Erin Quinn]

I haven't even done laser to my face yet, but soon, I will have to suck it up and get the removal process done down there as well...but that doesn't mean I'm not going to be totally freaked out @.@ of course, it shall be worth it *thumbs up* you are all so brave!
