Tired of shaving all the time, I hear you either want laser or electrolysis. My area only has 2 electrolysis places and one isn’t accepting clients right now, the other looks like it is based out of a sketchy house. Do I commute an hour to another town or go to a mainstream laser location? What is better, what do I need to know?

    For me, the only area that ever really sucked for laser was my upper lip. I guess it all sucked in the beginning but most of the beard went away on lower power settings pretty early on. Electrolysis is 30-60 minutes of drawn out torture every week or as often as you can go, AND you have to let your hair grow out so they have something to grab when they rip the follicle out of your face… Maybe each individual stab isn’t as bad as each laser pulse, but at least that’s just once a month and over in 10 minutes.

    If I was made of money I would have taken a few weeks off work and gone to Electrolysis 5000 in Texas. 4 people working the entire day while you’re on drugs or at least numbed. One and done, except it’s actually two or three times to get all the hair cycles.
