Imagine having needles pierced into each hair follicle one by one...and then getting an electric shock each time. Ouch! X| Laser Treatment is quicker and less painful if your skin/hair type matches (but trust me - it still hurts a lot)...but guys I'm afraid that for most males hair removal is at best temporary - the body repairs the follicle damage fairly quickly. Back to the old razor I'm afraid. :(

    Anna, I managed to fall asleep whilst having electrolysis once :cool: But for the guys the only advice I've heard is shave well after you've got up so the fluid drains from the face and the skin is a little less puffy. This way you actually get a closer shave. Elaine :rose:

      lol :laugh: I'm about halfway through a course of Laser Treatment at the moment (I've had 4 so far), so facial hair is getting to be less of a problem (and it's great! :D ). As for razors, I tend to use a Tescos 3-blade refillable (the branded ones don't seem to be much better, but are much more expensive). Anna :rose:

      It's a 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

Being on HRT helps, but I'm also lucky in that I was never particularly hairy to start with. Apart having my chest treated once (with a second coming up), all the treatment I've had so far has been on my face. Besides which, at £220 per session (that's every 4 weeks), you really wouldn't want to need full body treatment...most people spend between £2000 and £5000 on getting the face cleared alone. Have a look at the Christianos website if you want to know the tech details. Anna :rose:

          lol you must have been pretty relaxed...and I thought I was good at dozing off!! Good advice about the shaving - though it rather depends on how early they get up in the morning... Anna :rose:

            What razors do you use. After Shave? Shaving gel? I'm looking for products that give a close shave because it seems that by 4 PM, I look unshaven. I'm even thinking about electric razors but I've heard that the shave is not as close as a razor.

            I gave up on shaving. I'm gonna grow a beard and sit on a mountain somewhere like a wanna-be guru, meditating calmly while waiting for the next wisom seeker to ascend the mountain and sit at my feet. "A-hem! Get off the beard, kid." "Uh. Oh! Sorry."

                HRT is Hormone Replacement Therapy...basically a boost to the body's oestrogen level to get things moving. Believe it or not they largely use Birth Control Pills for this!
