    Electrolysis. who has done it? did it work and if so how many sessions did it take, per session or whole body? how much did it hurt, if at all?

    Electeolysis has changed to the point where is is not painful, just a mere tingling sensation. Quite a few sessions would be needed, lasting between 15 minutes to an hour. Depending on where you get it done on your body. Your face alone may take 4 or five sessions. Maybe less. (This could have been put in the general advice column) But the hair would be permanantly removed after the sessions are finished. :grin:

    I got a home laser thingy off of amazon, it requires bi weekly treatments results are slower then electrolysis, and permanent hair removal is only a chance with the laser treatment. However I have noticed a difference, hair is growing slower, lighter color, thinner.
    Laser is only recommended for lighter skin color with darker hair however, since the lasers attack the melanin in the hair as well as melanin producing areas near the treatment areas
