I do electrolysis once a week- and have been for what feels like forever. I really like the woman though, so it's 30 mins I allow myself every week to just close my eyes and relax, and talk w/ her... I do notice a difference- not as drastic as I'd like but still a difference. Chat Icon

ETA: I have been told it's safe to continue during fert. meds as well as when (if) we get pg...hth!

I tried laser removal a few years ago. I went once every 5 weeks or so for several months.
It was great for a year or so. But it grew back. It's waaaaay too expensive to retouch every few months. It should be called the ugly-disease. I hate it.

Honestly, the only way I keep myself sane with the hair growth (especially on my chin Chat Icon ) is to bleach or tweeze. I'm not allowed to bleach anymore until after I deliver, so I'm stuck tweezing for now.

It sucks.
