Have you tried an Epicare threader for your face - it works well on fair downy facial hair. I got one fromThinkbeauty but you can get them on Ebay

I had a look at the link but I'm still in the dark as to what on earth threading actually is

Just signed up for my consultation at Sk:n, really excited to find out what they can do to help me. Its been the bane of my life for 17 years

Let us know how you get on floyd.

I am going to book a consultation October time so would be interested to hear how you get on.

floyd

Will do

Had my consultation last week and it was great, they did a patch test which I couldn't feel at all. No reaction, no burning or redness so I am off for my first session tonight so I can't wait.

I think the worst part about it is not being allowed to pluck or wax between sessions so you can only immac, shave or trim.

Immac is like putting napalm on my face and I have razor rash heh heh

Just thought I would give a quick update, I had my first session a week ago and today I saw my first signs of hair dropping out.
The laser itself didn't really hurt at all, feels like a light elastic band twang on your face but not unpleasant. There was very little redness, in fact, I probably could have gone back to work straight afterwards.

I would say the only downside is not being able to pluck or wax between treatments so its immac or shaving which totally goes against everything I ever believed about face hair. I tried the Louis Marcel hair remover for face and bikini which gets rid of the whispy ones but didn't really do anything for the dark, thick ones. Next I tried a razor which was just way too painful and gave me a terrible rash so I resorted to using OH's electric razor which works a treat!

Anyone who has been considering getting it done, I would say go for it!

Is it facial hair you are having treated or legs as well?

floyd

Just face but it may as well be legs because of how course it was ! If after 4 treatments the face is really going well I am going to get everything else done too heh heh

I know exactly what you mean. Ive been having electrolosis on upper lip and chin area for a few years now.

I could cope with creaming them if it was fine but I have several really strong dark hairs that cream just won't touch.
