Having my 5th session today

I am always really excited because I feel like I am already seeing a difference and progress after 2 45 min sessions and 2 30 min sessions!
It’s extremely expensive (150€ for 30 mins) and I have to take the train around 3,5 hours to go back and forth to the studio but I feel so much better and more feminine as the hairs get less!!
Now I feel like I am seeing results but still have a long way to go. I mean maybe if I am lucky I am halfway through!
The only thing I regret is not starting earlier. But maybe it’s for the better because I have PCOS and hair was still coming up on my chin, upper lip and nipples.
The only thing - now I can now wax/pluck my nipple hair, and feel like I don’t want to show it to anyone!! Before I could have one night stands and just before get rid of all the hair, now there is always some hair and redness and scabbing around my nipples 😭
I can not wait for this to be over, and the hair to be gone!!!! Nipple hair really feels the worst for me

When will sessions be less frequent?

I have had 4 sessions of electrolysis over the last 2-2,5 months every 2 weeks. I started with 45 mins for upper lip, chin, chest and nipples. The later 2 sessions were 30mins each for the same areas because the hair has already gotten a lot less (my chin has max 3 hairs to like 10 very thick before, and my nipples like 10-20 each compared to around 60)
So I have been wondering when it would make sense to switch to a longer pause between sessions. My technician said maybe next time but then we scheduled again for in 2 weeks.
I have a commute of 1.5 hours and really want the treatment to be effective and as fast as possible. But also my skin around my nipples for example gets very irritated and red after the treatment.

What would be a good indicator or time to switch to maybe 3 or 4 weeks in between?

150 EUR for 30 minutes

So I had my 3rd session today, and my electrologist told me that they adjusted the price from 100€ for 30 minutes to 150. I think I am already seeing some results now after the 3rd session. I do get a lot less regrowth and I don’t really feel much plucking when she does it. She also does a full clear every time (first two times 45 mins for 150€ and 3rd time 30 mins for 150€)
Now she said I am going to need at least 10 sessions, so 7 more. She said if I would pay for them now, she would propose them for the old price - so 700€ for 6 sessions. Does it sound like a good idea to buy this “packet”? Also I will probably have the 4th session with a 2 weeks break, and then probably 3 weeks break.

Already seeing results after 2nd session?

I want to know if I am being delusional…
So I have hormonal hair growth but mostly it’s mild. My upper lip, chin, chest and nipples are affected. The most dense areas are upper lip and nipples, before my first session I had around 50-60 hairs on each nipple and my upper lip maybe had 30 hairs per side.
I had two session and at the beginning my electrologist said I would maybe need around 10 but it’s hard to say.
Now after 2 full clearance treatments and around 4 weeks later, I have almost no new hair on my upper and chin. My nipples still have only around 20 hairs per side left.
I am wondering how many will still grow back until my 3rd appointment which is next Friday, so in around five days.
Could it be that a lot of hair is already destroyed, or is it just “plucked” out and will come back later?
I also think if the hair keeps staying away, after the third session it will only be worth it to go for 30 mins with a three week break, because already now after 9 days there is enough hair for maybe 30 mins.
Am I being too optimistic?

Regrowth in 2 weeks

I had my first 45 min session 5 days ago. My electrologist removed my upper lip hair, chin hair and nipple hair, in total maybe around 150 hairs. They said to immediately book the next appointment for in 2 weeks which I did.
The first days after the session my skin was red, bumpy, irritated and some whiteheads. Then it scabbed but is now looking fine.
But since my next appointment already is in 9 days, and I don’t have any new hairs now I am thinking if there will even be enough regrowth in that time. My nipples do have some hair, in total maybe 20 but other than that there’s nothing new.
Should I just wait a few more days? I don’t want to cancel the appointment too last minute but also feel like it would be too early to cancel already now.

First Session and already excited for the next one

I had my first 45 min session yesterday and the pain was really bearable, upper lip did bring some tears to my eyes but it was okay. I did get some red swollen dots and whiteheads today, but I think it’s not too noticeable.

I do have my next appointment for probably 30 min. In 2 weeks and I am so curious how many hairs are going to grow back until then and very excited to see the hair getting less and less. My electrologist said I was probably going to need around 10 sessions for the treated areas. I feel like it’s already so worth it even though I am not even really seeing results now, it’s just the feeling that the hair will be gone forever soon 🥰
