I will admit when I started my facial hair removal. I wasn't sure if it would work. I had rust colored beard, so it a mixture of brown/red/blond, and at 35. I was just getting to the point in my life. Where I could grow a full beard. I figured I would give it a few months, and see how it go's. If all else failed. I would switch to Electrolysis. Well I had my fifth session of laser last week, and I haven't shaved since sat night or Sunday morning. I would say about 80% of my dark hairs are gone. What is left. The lady can do with electrolysis in about a hour. Maybe that means Ill be hairless by next year at this point.

Yay! I have had good results with laser too, the remaining white hairs on my face and neck I am just plucking, and I will just epilate the small patch on my chest. Overall tho it was really worth it.

Yea its worth it. There is a few things I don't like. Since I'm full time. My face looks horrible for a few days after, and I can't shave the region. Because of how sensitive my skin gets. I also hate the pain. She gave me numbing cream for next time though. 

 

I hope by next summer I can start my chest, and back with laser. As those hairs are black, so laser should work better there.

Per the FDA it is not permanent but for some it seems so.  Or it at least forestalls regrowth for more than a week.

From what I've heard, it's a gamble.  It seems pretty permanent for some, but not for others.  That's why the FDA won't rubber-stamp is as "permanent".  But you might get lucky.

Laser has been quite effective for me, only after a few sessions. But I have dark hair, and fair skin which whatever composition has responded well. 

I guess they have tuned up the machines now compared to the earlier versions to get the frequency and duration juuust right to do the most damage to the follicle and not your skin. But, it's ten bucks a  zap that covers about 1/2" area each so do the math to cover the face in ten minutes whether it's ramen noodles again that week. 

Personally, I think it can be just as uncomfortable as electro but that may be to what my zap girl has it geared up for beards instead of body hair, and I have always had soft skin.

laser is not a permanent solution. As you get older your hair will grow back. Electrology   is the best Permanent solution.

However, if your blond, redhead, Afro American the best solution is Elector and Defiantly painful

Is laser permanent? I've heard different things concerning laser.

It depends on the laser. They do make medical grade lasers that offer permanent removal. It works best with dark hair on fair skin, otherwise you would need to go with electrolysis. My laser treatment left a bunch of random white hairs on my face and chest, I just pluck them out.

I had a rust colored beard. It worked ok on me. I saw really no difference between sessions 4-6, so I stopped. Then went fully electrolysis around August. The people doing say im about 6 months ahead of trans clients that never did laser. Other then my chin, and mustache area. I could count the hairs left on my jaw line, sideburns, and neck. I was told at my session on Monday. They probably are done with the right side.

      Require students to use bathrooms that align with the gender they were assigned at birth Prohibit transgender girls in seventh grade or older from participating in girls sports or other girls-only activities  Ban gender-affirming health care — including surgery or hormone treatment — for transgender students under age 18, even if parents consent or the treatment is recommended by a doctor Require schools to notify parents if students change their pronouns or otherwise signal they identify as a gender other than what’s on their official student records Doesn't look like it "protects" anybody.  It actually is about restricting trans kids rights.   The ways politicians name their bills etc. is a farce.  Most of the time they do the opposite of what they're called.

      There's a lot of bad information out there.  People like the sensational stuff, whether it's true or not.   Too many people live in a news/opinion bubble.  My ex's late husband kept Fox News on 24/7.  It was always there in the background of their life.  There is something about "trans" stuff every day, and always negative.

      Good morning everyone,   Head Cold and body aches are reduced today. @April Marie I'm glad you're feeling better too. Good luck timing the lawn care with the weather. @Willow It's good to hear that your wife is on the mend, and you may make it to Salt Lake City. I'm sadden to here about Tattoo Tom.   This is very good news @Adrianna Danielle   @Ashley0616 I hope you find the right hair removal service in a convenient location.   I'm on my second cup of coffee, and we're expecting rain this afternoon and evening.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Well, I can not say good morning today.  The world has lost a loving, caring man that gave his all for others that are suffering.  I do not have details, however Tattoo Tom of Stillbrave Childhood Cancer Organization has gone on to be with his daughter Shala and my Granddaughter Daphne and all the other kids with cancer and their families he tried to help.  You can Google the organization and it will tell you his story and what they do.  He used to run in Ultra marathons to raise money.  He was scheduled to run in the Moab 240 later this year.  Each mile is dedicated to a child.  You can see Daphne’s story on mile 233 and Shala is always the last mile.     if you have a few dollars to spare please make a donation.  The work of 5he organization will continue but it will not be the same without Tom.   Well on a better note, I learned last night that I can attend the Salt Lake City gathering of the Presbyterian Church USA in Salt Lake City. As a guest of our minister.  If I can get there I am going to try to go.  I am just waiting to hear from my son to learn if there are blackout days around the date I need to be there.  And I realize the bigger issue could be getting home so I do have th weigh the risk against the opportunity.   Thank you all for your concerns and prayers regarding my wife’s recent back surgery and my concerns about my voice.  My wife is definitely on the mend.   well I guess I need to get a move on it is later that I realized.   Willow
