Stopping partway through and resuming later

What happens if you have to abort LHR after a few treatments (let's say 4) and resume later due to life circumstances like unemployment? I'm looking at that situation right now since I just lost my job. My next session is in December, which I'm keeping because the rate more than doubles next year at the place I'm going to when the current discount ends, but after that I don't know when I'll be able to continue.

What's dead and gone is dead and gone, no return, end of its life. Stuff that was only stunned and left for dead and was not, or that happened at the wrong part of its life cycle will be back to haunt you at its regular timing, which is about four to five months from last zap date, when you would have gone in for cleanup anyway. Some people string their LHR out over several years just for your reason, no money for it, and have very good results eventually if they are young enough or have the right hair color. You have to do what you have to do.

Argh, I'm in the same situation kind of, Valerie. I'm loving laser, apart from the pain. I managed to pay for the four first sessions at a discounted rate, so I got one session free, and I've just had the second. My problem is I work freelance so there's no regular, fixed amount I earn. This month has been awful, I've had so little work. Unless December picks up I'll just have to save what I can and it'll take me a couple of months at least to pay for another session after I've used up with I've already paid for.

However, I think it's still all good, isn't it? What I mean is, for one thing, I've had some pleasing results so far already - nothing miraculous but a noticeable difference.

Also, the clinic fact sheet explained that a hair folicle only has a limited number of 'lives' - so if it falls out but comes back again later, it's still that bit closer to being permanently fried, right?

AND, I think the laser is actually good for the skin too. So I might be wrong but I think the only thing we're possibly losing if we have to postpone is time? Frustrating yes, but like Vicky says we can only do what we can.

Dead hairs are gone usually, the "life support" system of the follicle is beyond repair. Hairs that were in an unaffected phase will continues growing just fine. In general I don't think there is any harm in skipping laser treatments, only squeezing them too close together with out enough time for skin to heal and dead hairs to shed. However, MtF HT, if you are on it, will continue to mitigate hair in size and lighten it. That -is- detrimental to future laser treatment, but positive to having the appearance of less hair anyhow. I concluded facial laser treatment at 9 treatments, I expect there wouldn't have been much difference curtailing at six treatments. Plenty of electrolysis is left for light hairs that are unaffected by laser, I have had a total of maybe 40 hours( 20 DIY, 20 professional) Not sure how much there is to go.

PS. My significant portion of light hairs are from a combination of age, HT, and damage to hair from laser without the kill effect. It's similar to the type of damage caused by branding livestock with freeze brands. They damage the hair enough to produce white hair, but not kill it.

      So, yesterday's epiphany was that girl jeans fit me much nicer than boy jeans. Well, duh! So this girl is switching over to wearing girl jeans pretty much full time. I'll keep my others for work jeans. We went out to dinner last evening and I was in androgynous mode...wearing a pair of Bandolino Amy straight leg denim pants. Score!

      Good morning, everyone!! The coffee upload has started for me but just in the early stages so I'm barely coherent at this point.   You've been missed @Willow - I hope all is going well with your wife and at work.   @awkward-yet-sweet We love to make beans with rice - one of our favorite meals.   No big plans for me today. Small projects around our place and probably some reading. We're going to have some rain off and on, and the temps are still too low for a lot of outdoor work.   Be safe and enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!

      Hi   boy you back to work and miss lots.  No time to catch up right now. But I will.   just wanted to let everyone know I’m still here.   willow

      Thanks, @VickySGVfor some truth. Hatred may speak loudly in a political agenda, but there is always love, there is always love.

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.

      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..
    • missyjo
      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒

      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.
