remove the hair from my face and neck
remove the hair from my face and neck
|
Now that I have reached a fair amount of hours, it is starting to change my life. So worth it. There is so much involved though. There is mileage and travel time to consider. How far do you have to go. How much is gasoline. It was a 70 mile round trip for me. Now that I have moved (July 2002) it has changed to 400 miles. An average day of electro for me including travel time is 10 to 13 hours. Electrolysis typically costs between $40 and $60 an hour. There is also the cost of Emla which is a topical lidocaine/prilocaine (by prescription only) used to numb the skin (and it is not all that). I wouldn't dream of electro without it, but at $52 to $78 for a 30 gram tube the cost is great. You do NOT want to start electrolysis unless you are serious. It is painful, it is time consuming, it can be oh so discouraging at times, and it is expensive. |
I personally will not even add up the totals until I am close to being done. I just don't want to know.
But unlike many other transition expenses it is spread out in smaller increments over a long period of time. So this soothes the pocketbook pain... a little. Much like physical fitness, electrolysis is just gonna be a way of life for a time, perhaps a long time, at least a couple of years. It is not something that you "just do". It is much like paying a 30 year mortgage on your home. Month after month, you just pay the bills not seeing the end in sight. It is just a way of life. At any rate, it seems most girls measure their progress in hours, so that is what I will do here. And speaking of hours, an hour for me might be 10 minutes for you. 5 hours for somebody else might be 90 minutes for me. Everybody is different and many factors come into play. |
How much hair do you need removed, and where? What is your pain threshold? What is the skill level of your electro person and what method are they using? There are so many variables. I am not being negative here. I am only telling you how it is from a person who is in the middle of it all. I thank The Great Whoever everyday for my electro person. I both love and respect her. I imagine many a cave person must have comitted suicide because of the hairy caveguy they had to see in the waters reflection every day. Thank goodness for technology, and the persons that are able to so wonderfully put it to use. My electro person uses the Blend Method for me. |

It appears we may be seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. I have not taken a razor to my face since May 4th and have been doing okay. However, I am not counting my chickens.
