Hello everyone. I hope i am not going to get dogged on for this, I am at the breaking point for my facial hair. it has got to go. since i have waaay more time than money i ordered a clean and easy home electrolysis unit because It is Absolutely ALL we can afford. Going for laser or pro electrolysis is impossible right now. so, when this is your only choice you have, you go for it. It does work. I have the time, am Highly motivated, I do not care that it's tedious work; better than this hair. I will let everyone know how it goes. it will be here tomorrow..

It most likely will work. The only trick is finding the right setting. Too low and it won't work. Too high and you'll get burns that could lead to scarring. It's a good thing you have the time. It's going to be a long and tedious process. Good luck.

Nikki!

GOOD LUCK!!!! You consider getting some dental numbing creme - it works well on the lips also (that is what my electrolysis uses when she worked that area. And please be careful, you do not want hurt that that complection you have. Maybe start at a low setting and work from there. Sometimes itis better to zap it a couple times with a low then one time with a higher one - it is also less painful. And make certain you have plenty of ice packs on hand to keep the swelling down.

Afterwards, it is a good idea to use an anti-bacteral on the area you just finished so that it will heal faster with less chance of further complications , like scarring. Most importantly, PLEASE BE PATIENT. Working with a professional can take a year or to complete, and doing it yourself will probably take longer. There are serveral good sources on line that explain the proscess. One is in THE TS ROADMAP that is available here on Laura's site.

AGAIN GOOD LUCK!!! Many hugs and best wishes on your success!

Good luck with that road you are traveling down. I have started the HPL or home pulsed light technology for permanent hair removal. This is an FDA and Canadian FDA approved device for hair removal that is almost painless, you do feel a touch of heat when the device fires a flash of light. It recharges in seconds and you move on. I cannot report results yet as I am into my second go round. As a professional beach bum, I am too tan right now to try this on my face, according to directions. I have used this where the sun does not shine and upper thighs. But am still shaving as well. It works best on dark hair, blondies might not get help here. Will report any positves/negatives when I can. I got mine at Amazon. http://www.silkn.com/flash-and-go/

Hello everyone, Well, I thought i would give a little feedback to my experience thus far with the clean and easy home electrylosis unit. MY experience has been positive so far. I have cleared my upper lip about 95% so far.Zero starring, redness always clears pretty quickly, The hair thus far HAS Not grown back, I started with a smaller area on my upper lip this past July, It never grew back. Now i have about cleared my entire upper lip. It is time consuming, but, I really enjoy using it. It is alot of fun! does hurt a little. I use it on setting 4, for about 15-20seconds, the hair comes out efortlessly. So far I Love it! and give it ***** stars!!

      What do you do when you feel triggered?

      WEARINESS When stress from adverse or challenging events in life occur continually, you can find yourself in a state of feeling emotionally worn out and drained. This is called emotional exhaustion. For most people, emotional exhaustion tends to build up slowly over time.

      I am glad your schools are flush with excess spending money, but that is not the situation here in CA.  Back in 1978 an Initiative and Referendum law was passed that limited property taxes severely and basically cut funding from Property Taxes to pennies of the amounts needed to even minimally fund school districts.  Even the U.S. Supreme Court which upheld the law on Federal and Constitutional grounds nevertheless wryly commented in its decision that the state electorate had lost its collective mind in enacting the law.  Our schools are funded through the State's General Fund which receives other tax sources for creating the entire state budget. The General Fund and the legislature try to give  adequate funding  to the primary and secondary school districts as well as college districts and other obligations all from the same limited funds. There are also strict limits on assessing property taxes that actually prevent them from paying for other services directly affecting property ownership which is their proper place, and so even property related services come from our General Fund. Your property tax money seems to be ear-marked for schools which is wonderful and I hope they use it according to your thoughts, but as said we have a different problem out here in CA.  I love my state but do recognize its short comings.  Point of information, the tax law that is creating problems came from the same small area of the state as the proposed referendum on Trans Youth.

      The numbers of those negatively affected are significant and discouraging, but the good news is that "over half" of Trans youth live in safe states, and such states do exist.

      Seems like a reasonable agreement.  Seattle stays out of Texas, Texas stays out of Seattle.  Weird that the Seattle hospital had a business license in Texas...

      Seems to me the time and cost is already being spent....on lawsuits.  And schools are absolutely flush with cash, at least around here.  They get enough property taxes, they need to learn appropriate use of funds.  Buy a few less computers and a few more bathrooms, and spend less time on athletics and I'd bet you a hamburger that the issue would be solved in a year.   To me, it seems like the whole bathroom thing is like lancing a boil or a cyst.  A sharp initial pain, and done. People are just resistant to doing it.      I think I could solve most of it...but politicians get too much press off of this to want it solved.   1.  Universal use of individual, gender-neutral, private bathrooms 2.  Universal use of individual, gender-neutral, private spaces for changing athletic clothes 3.  Emphasize co-ed rather than gendered sports.  Focus on physical activity, good sportsmanship, and having FUN.  Lifelong enjoyment, not just competition. 4.  Ban for-profit athletic programs at highschool and college levels, and ban betting/gambling related to athletic programs at educational institutions. 5.  Affirm parental rights consistently, rather than treating it like a salad bar.  That means permitting gender-affirming healthcare with parental consent, AND prohibiting schools keeping secrets from parents.  Adopt the "paperwork principle."  If it is on paper, parents 100% have a right to know about it and be informed on paper, including names/pronouns if such are documented.  If it is verbal only, it is informal enough to be overlooked or discussed verbally if needed.
