In the Process of Electrolysis for my Eyebrows. State College, PA

UPDATED FROM jamsar

Thick hairs are mostly gone, but thin hairs remain

$35
Most of the stray thick hairs have not grown back, but many thin hairs persist. They don't seem to be reducing in number, either. :(

Ok try not to worry because it takes a couple times for hairs to die off. I had my eyebrows done when I was 19/20 and I'm 44 now. I don't even own tweezers. Lol so it will happen for you too!

Also I have never tipped ANY of my electro technicians. That's crazy! It's a very expensive service!
That's awesome! I have so many small hairs; I can't deal with tweezing them any more. Good to know that the results last. Thank you!
I had my eyebrows done ~5 years ago with a couple of touch up sessions a year later. I have had zero regrowth and they look fabulous. I think you will be very happy with your outcome although a couple of touch ups might be necessary.
Hey. Are you still getting electrolysis on your eyebrows? Just wondering how the process is going? Ive been getting my eyebrows done since May 2015. I have been going every 2 weeks. In May of this year it will have been a year. I notice the big hairs are gone but I still have little small dark ones growing in, which I find strange considering how often and how long I have been going.

Are these new hairs growing? I am trying to get to the point where no hairs grow in that area and its not happening. Its annoying because electrolysis is painful and expensive. She is doing about 15-20 minute sessions still.

Eyebrows Update

I've just had my 5th visit and I have almost no stray hairs left. The results are great, so far! I haven't been plucking my eyebrows in so long.

It's still very painful, but it seems to be very effective. I just started doing my legs today. I'll post before and after pictures in the next couple of days.

Excellent, that must be such a relief for you as having to pluck eyebrows is such a pain!

Just had my second treatment. My eyebrows look sharp!

I'm right now in the process of getting electrolysis on my eyebrows. The plan is to go once a week for a half-hour session. It is... painful. My hair is very thick and my eyebrows are on the bushy side. I need to let my eyebrows grow out so the electrologist can see the hairs, but after my appointments, it always looks like a fresh wax. I can't speak to the permanence, yet, since I have only have a couple of treatments, but the process is very tolerable. It will definitely be worth it if it works.

Electrolysis in general isn't that painful. The areas around your eyes are particularly bad because (1) the skin is thin, (2) it is near a bone, and (3) it has a lot of blood flow. If this works and I get rid of all this hair, it'll be worth the pain.

Thanks for joining us to share your experience, I look forward to your updates. Do you have any before/progress photos to share with the community?

Let us know how it goes please. My skin looked great after laser hair removal but the hair grew back after 12 weeks.. and I had 13 treatments! What a waste!
