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!!

      Congratulations and Happy Anniversary!!!! A beautiful milestone.    I hope to see you tonight...I just have to stay awake long enough!!

      It's funny with photos isn't it, how we think we look in them vs. how we actually do look in them! I'm hopeless at smiling and I have to try really hard not to frown or look like a zombie. I'm never sure how I come across to others.   I had a moment late last night when my eldest daughter facetimed my wife for some now forgotten reason, and when I was handed the tablet and talking to her, I was fixated on my image in the corner. My hair was wild at the time, I was a bit tipsy and all I saw was a woman! I have no idea what she saw in that context. I'll probably never know.

      I hope to see you on the Zoom meeting tonight, April.  I might be late, since I am doing lights and sound for a play that opened last night.  I was home before ten last night, so I think I'll be able to make it.   Today is an anniversary for me.  Seven years ago today, I stood up at the weekly community kaffeeklatsch as <deadname> and announced that henceforth I would be Kathy.  It went as well as I could have imagined: there were some surprised looks, but no hostility and lots of support.  A whole layer of stress disappeared that day and has never come back.  (There have been other stresses, but that one is gone.)  I have been me full-time ever since that moment.

      This is a scarily accurate description of what I feel!   I hope I don't sound too schmaltzy by saying this, but I remember when I signed up to this forum last year, during the sign-up process the question is asked, "Why do you want to join TransPulse?" to which I wrote, "Looking for a home where I can freely write about my issues and interact with similar people."    I think I just found one. ❤️

      Good morning, everyone!! I was up early again - already on my third cup of coffee having walked/fed the dog and read the local paper.   We have a birthday party for a friend to go to this afternoon but no real plans otherwise.   I hope to be able to attend tonight's TGP Zoom session. It's been weeks since I've been able to participate with the illness/loss of our dog, two horrible colds in succession and our trip to chase the solar eclipse.   Have a wonderful day and look for the goodness in it.

      I think we tend to be overly critical of our looks, whether we're trying to express ourselves as masculine, feminine or anywhere along the gender spectrum. For me, I use photos as a way to track my progress, to help me find my style and look and to help me find ways to improve myself in posture, looks, make-up, style......   I didn't really think about our FB avatar being public but then realized that when people search they do see it.   Since I'm not out to anyone but my wife, therapist, priest and people here, my FB page remains "that guy." I have created a Bitmoji that is relatively androgynous moving slowly towards the feminine. Long gray hair, earrings, softer features...I'm transitioning it along with myself. :-)
