My understanding is that it is common to start with laser, then move to electrolysis. If laser has dealt with the majority of hairs, is the electrolysis tech able to “ignore” those follicles? If not, starting with laser seems pointless.
I have been doing laser for a while but am starting to think electrolysis will be necessary prior to surgery for some of the finer hairs.
They did, yes. I just wasn’t sure if the electrolysis tech would be able to tell if a hair follicle was dealt with already or if they would have to do each one regardless of whether hair remained.
Electrologists have you grow the hair on the target area out for a day or two before the appointment so they can see where the hairs are. For genital hair the best approach is to not shave but trim the hair short the day before (use a guard on the trimmers!!). That ensures any hair that can still grow will have the best possible chance to be spotted. You’ll probably have appointments on a weekly or bi-weekly basis over the course of several months so it’s unlikely that one would slip through.
