So, I made an appointment to have my face and neck cleared. It was made clear to me that one clearing would not permanently rid me of facial hair. I had to return every 6 weeks to have my face re-cleared until all hair was killed off. Based on her evaluation of my beard (I sent her up close pictures) she estimated 6 to 9 clearings would be needed, each one taking less and less time to do. The first four clearings would eliminate almost all hair, but killing off the stragglers takes diligence.
So last week I had my first clearing done under her "lumber jack" package. It covers 30 hours of electrolysis over two consecutive days. Local anesthesia is provided to make the treatments virtually painless. The price was $4000 for the 30 hour package.
By electrolysis, I really mean flash thermolysis whereby high frequency microwaves (emitted from the tip of a needle inserted into the follicle) heat the hair root to kill it and seal off the blood capillaries so another hair cannot grow, thus killing the follicle forever.
It ended up taking 32 tech-hours (2 techs working a total of 16 hours over the two days) to clear all my face and neck hair.
More to come....
