Default Home electrolysis.

Anyone else do it? I just started yesterday. OUCH is all I have to say.

I bought an electrolysis (am I even spelling that right? LOL) machine at Sally Beauty Supply.

Any success or horror stories? :-)

I would be careful using that product, it's very easy to scar yourself using those machines and you have to insert the needle just right to get the hair follicle or you are wasting your time. Most electrologists have to be trained, and are able to move around patients to get the right angle to zap the follicle but when you are doing it on yourself, it's harder to see.

Eh... the electrolysis is so-so. It hurts, that's for sure. lol.

I am having pitting so I think I am going to hold off for awhile. That is freaking me out. I am going to let them heal and see if they (eeek) scar. If not I might continue. If they do... well... I will have to scream and cry. Then get laser.

I tried electrolysis and I could not handle the pain! I used to have to shave everyday so I finaly begin laser treatments about a year ago and they have worked great. I only have to shave once a month or pluck a few hairs here and there. It hurts a little too but not as bad!
