Pain: Painfree
Electrolysis satisfaction: Poor
I had one year of electrolysis on my bikini line and upper leg area. This was once a week with a tech. on each leg at the same time. Paid double for each visit. 5 years later you can't even tell I had it done. Back to thick course hair, shaving bumps, etc. Not worth it.

I also had my bikini and upper leg worked on by an electrologist when in my 20's. (I'm now in my 40's) It was a total of 2 years, at first going once a week until all the hair was removed, then going from every two weeks, then every three weeks to a point that I only had to go back as some stragglers grew in. That hair has never grown back. I have enjoyed wearing bathing suits without anything showing! I have since become an electrologist myself. I would say you either had incompetent electrologists working on you or you have had a hormone change in your life. The electrologists working on you should have talked about what hormone changes can do. Maybe both scenarios are possible? It definately was worth it for me!

Dear petite roses, did you have your bikini and upper leg worked on before or after pregnancy (if you have ever been pregnant)? Just curious, because I am debating whether to get electrolysis before or after I have children (if ever).
