Electrolysis Permanent Facial Hair Removal: A Real Client Journey with an Award-Winning Therapist and 20 Years of Experience
In 2024, Mobile Beauty Biz received the following recognition:
Global Excellence Awards 2024
Best Mobile Beauty Treatments Provider 2024 – East of EnglandLUXlife Excellence Award for Hair Removal Services 2024
For me, this was a great opportunity to do something more meaningful than simply celebrate an award.
It was an opportunity to share my experience.
After nearly 20 years working professionally in the beauty industry, I wanted to show what permanent hair removal can look like in real life — not through a treatment journey with quick and easy progress, but through the journey of a real client experiencing different stages, interruptions and ups and downs.
And I deliberately chose a journey that could show you those realities.
This lovely lady has PCOS, is going through perimenopause and lives with other serious health conditions. For her, beauty and self-care are not simply about appearance. They have a very real place in her everyday life, her confidence and how she feels when she looks at herself in the mirror.
Before coming to me, she had already invested significant time and money into laser hair removal.
Our electrolysis journey has included hormonal fluctuations, financial breaks between treatment plans, periods of several months without treatment and results that have surprised even me as her therapist.
That is exactly why I wanted to share it.
Not to show you a perfect electrolysis journey.
To show you a real one.
Before Electrolysis: Years of Trying to Manage Facial Hair
Before coming to me, my client had undergone regular laser treatments for significant facial hair growth around her chin and neck.
Between her laser sessions she had been told to shave, which is a standard part of many laser treatment protocols.
She had also understood the service she was receiving to be permanent hair removal.
And this is where I believe we need to be very clear with clients.
Laser and IPL are hair-reduction treatments. Electrolysis is permanent hair removal.
That does not mean laser or IPL are bad treatments. For the right client, with suitable hair and skin and realistic expectations, they can achieve very good results.
I would highly recommend considering these services for larger areas of the body. For facial hair, however, I personally would not recommend them. This is based on my professional experience and the type of facial hair growth I have encountered throughout my career.
But they are not the same service, and clients should understand the difference before investing their time and money.
During the years in which this client was having regular laser treatments and shaving between appointments, the facial hair she was dealing with changed considerably.
The long, thick, dark hairs around her chin and neck eventually became predominantly long, thick grey and white hairs.
She and her family also felt that the facial hair had become increasingly difficult to manage during this period.
From my own professional experience, facial shaving can make unwanted facial hair considerably more noticeable in everyday life. Cutting a hair at skin level leaves a blunt end as it grows through, rather than the naturally tapered end of an untouched hair. In someone already experiencing significant hormonally influenced facial hair, that can make the growth look and feel much stronger.
Over many years of working directly with clients, I have also formed my own professional observations about repeated facial shaving and how facial hair presents over time. I believe practitioners should be able to distinguish clearly between published evidence and what we repeatedly observe in professional practice, while being honest about both.
Eventually, this lady and her family started researching more deeply.
They realised that the service they had been relying on was no longer the right solution for the hair she now had.
That research brought them to electrolysis.
Our First Electrolysis Appointment... With No Hair :)
By the time I arrived for our initial appointment, the lady and her family were ready.
We had spoken on the telephone.
They had done their research.
They were confident they understood electrolysis and wanted to begin.
There was only one little problem.
She had shaved that morning. :)
I had no suitable hairs to work with.
That could easily have become a disappointing first appointment.
Instead, I decided to use the time.
I gave them an additional approximately 30-minute consultation.
I answered their questions, listened first-hand to their experience of the previous treatments and discussed how electrolysis works, what we could realistically expect and how we could approach her facial hair going forward.
There was one thing I deliberately did not ask them.
The name of the salon where she had previously been treated.
Not because I wasn't curious.
I was.
But I didn't want professional judgement to turn into public humiliation.
I wasn't there during those consultations. I don't know exactly what was said, what training the individual therapist had or whether the issue was simply that additional training or improvements to the consultation process were needed.
That is for the salon and its management to decide.
It isn't my job.
My job is to make sure my own clients have enough information to make informed decisions about the beauty services and products they use, professionally and at home.
There are services for everyone and potentially products for most people.
Do I believe every beauty product currently available for sale deserves its place on the market?
Absolutely not.
But that is for another blog. :)
Now, back to this lovely lady.
Why I Added Her Upper Lip to the Treatment Plan
The obvious concern was her chin and neck.
But when I created her treatment plan, I personally included her upper lip as well.
When I told her, she was really pleased.
There wasn't nearly as much hair there as there was around the chin and neck.
But beauty isn't only about correcting whichever area looks most problematic on paper.
It is also about how you feel when you look at yourself as a whole.
Those upper-lip hairs might have been relatively insignificant compared with the rest of her facial hair, but they weren't insignificant when she looked into the mirror first thing in the morning.
They weren't insignificant when she was getting ready.
And they certainly weren't insignificant when she applied her favourite lipstick.
I had already noticed that this lady rather enjoys a beautiful bright lip.
Why wouldn't we make that part of her beauty routine even better? :)
That is something nearly 20 years in beauty has taught me:
Don't just treat the area. See the person.
What Is Electrolysis and How Does It Work?
Electrolysis is incredibly precise work.
We work one hair at a time.
A very fine sterile probe is carefully inserted into the natural opening of the hair follicle. A controlled electrical current is applied for a short period before the treated hair is removed.
The probe size is selected according to the hair being treated, so we are talking about something extremely fine.
There are three principal methods used in electrolysis:
Galvanic electrolysis uses a chemical reaction within the follicle.
Thermolysis uses heat.
Blend electrolysis combines the two.
I use Blend electrolysis.
For me, this gives me the ability to work with the individual hair in front of me and adapt the treatment according to what I am actually finding during the service.
Hair by hair.
Follicle by follicle.
This precision is one of the strengths of electrolysis.
It is also why treating substantial facial hair isn't a quick fix.
It is a journey.
Our First Treatment Plan
We started with one-hour pricing-plan appointments exactly every two weeks.
Initially, the progress was lovely.
We could see it.
Then we reached approximately session six.
Her hormones fluctuated significantly.
And suddenly it felt as though all of that lovely visible progress had gone down the drain.
How disappointing.
This is the kind of moment you rarely see in perfect beauty advertising.
I genuinely thought she might lose trust in the service.
When she didn't purchase another pricing plan immediately afterwards, I became even more convinced that I probably wouldn't see her again.
Then, around four months later...
She purchased another one-hour pricing plan.
I was genuinely surprised.
The Four-Month Break Gave Us Something Extremely Valuable
Part of the reason she hadn't returned immediately was financial.
And I think we need to be honest about that too.
Electrolysis is an investment, particularly where substantial facial hair requires longer appointments and a treatment journey over a significant period of time.
But during those months she had also been doing something very important.
She had been watching her hair growth.
And at this stage, results become one of the most valuable things you can rely on.
The hair had not simply returned to where we started.
The progress we'd already made had remained.
For her, that was a clear indication that even with her underlying hormonal fluctuations, this was the way she wanted to continue.
So she came back.
A Real Electrolysis Journey Is Not Always a Perfect Treatment Schedule
Since then, we have developed a pattern around her real circumstances.
Sometimes she purchases a one-hour pricing plan.
Sometimes she purchases a 30-minute plan.
Sometimes we use two sessions close together.
And then life happens.
Health.
Finances.
Hormones.
Other priorities.
Sometimes there is a gap of three months.
Sometimes four.
Sometimes five.
Then she comes back.
Following that significant hormonal fluctuation during her first treatment plan, the overall progress has been much steadier.
The important thing is that we have not repeatedly returned to the original starting point.
And that matters.
What I Am Seeing Now Has Surprised Even Me
At the moment, she effectively has no troublesome upper-lip hairs left for me to treat.
The remaining chin and neck hairs have gradually become finer.
Something else has surprised me.
Some hairs that had previously appeared grey or white later appeared darker again.
I am not going to tell you that electrolysis caused this change because I cannot establish that simply from observing one client's journey.
But I can tell you honestly what I have observed.
At her latest return, something else genuinely shocked me.
After several months without seeing each other, all of the remaining hairs were only approximately 4–5 mm long. There were no long hairs left at all.
She hadn't shaved them.
In fact, she hasn't returned to shaving at all.
For me as the practitioner who has followed her journey, seeing this after such a substantial gap was extremely valuable.
And these are exactly the photographs I want to show you.
Not because another client is guaranteed to achieve identical results.
But because these results are real.
What the Photographs Show Across the Journey
When I went back through the photographs chronologically, rather than simply choosing the clearest-looking before-and-after images, something much more interesting became visible.
The progress is not a perfectly straight line.
There are appointments where more hair is visible again. There are different hair-growth cycles, hormonal changes, different treatment durations and significant gaps between treatment plans.
Some appointments have been one hour. At other stages, my client has purchased 30-minute sessions and used two together to create a one-hour treatment. Approximately two treatments were around 45 minutes.
That means I do not believe it would be fair to judge the journey simply by counting appointments or assuming that every photograph represents exactly the same amount of treatment.
There is another important detail.
My client does not remove the hair herself during the gaps between treatment plans.
She does not shave it, trim it, pluck it, wax it or otherwise remove it.
That makes the first photograph when she returns after a substantial gap particularly valuable, because we are able to see the hair that has naturally presented during that untreated period.
Period | Colour | Thickness/calibre | Length | What the long gaps tell us |
Aug–Nov 2024 | Strong predominance of light/white/grey hairs, with some darker hairs | Many hairs appear coarse and substantial; obvious thick hairs dominate the workload | Numerous hairs become quite long and conspicuous | This is the early treatment burden. The earliest photograph we currently have is from 15 August 2024, which was actually her second treatment session, rather than the literal first treatment. |
Jan–Feb 2025 | Still predominantly light/grey, with mixed darker hairs | Several clearly coarse hairs remain, with increasingly mixed calibre | Long hairs are still readily apparent | Her first photographed return on 14 January follows 68 days without treatment or any hair removal by the client. The hair visible on her return therefore represents naturally accumulated growth rather than hair she had been shaving, trimming or plucking between appointments. |
May–Aug 2025 | The mixture remains, with light/grey hairs still prominent | Increasingly mixed — coarse hairs remain, while more finer-looking and scattered hairs appear | Some dates still show long hairs, but the distribution becomes less uniformly dominated by them | 8 May follows approximately 70 untreated days. Considerable hair is still present, but its character and distribution are changing compared with the beginning. |
Dec 2025–Apr 2026 | A mixture of light and darker-looking hairs | Remaining hairs appear increasingly variable in calibre, rather than the original concentration of substantial hairs | Individual long hairs still occur, but increasingly as isolated and scattered growth | 2 December follows the longest photographic gap — 96 days — without the client removing the hair. Despite more than three months of untouched growth, the original early presentation does not simply reappear. |
May–Jul 2026 | Still mixed light/grey and some darker-looking hairs | Some substantial hairs remain, but the overall presentation is much less dominated by coarse growth | There are still longer individual hairs | 28 May follows 35 untreated days. Noticeable hair remains, and I think it is important to show photographs like this rather than selecting only our clearest results. |
Sep 2026 – current plan | Remaining hairs are mixed, including light and darker-looking strands | A much more scattered mixture than the early concentration of coarse hairs | Later growth appears substantially shorter overall than the conspicuous long hairs seen early in the journey | 17 September follows 70 completely untreated days. Despite that interval, the photograph does not reproduce the original concentration of long, coarse-looking growth. 24 September is already part of the newly started pricing plan, so I would not use it as an untreated-gap comparison. |
There is something else the photographs alone cannot completely explain.
In the early stages, what you can see growing above the skin was only part of my treatment workload.
Many of those small raised areas around her chin contained hairs growing underneath the skin.
At that stage, my one-hour appointments were barely enough for me to work through the thicker, more prominent hairs that were already accessible.
It took time before that workload reduced enough for me to gain a little extra time within the appointment and begin tackling those under-skin hairs too.
That is another reason I don't think this journey should be reduced simply to counting how many hairs are visible in one photograph compared with another.
I have been watching changes in distribution, colour, thickness, length and the way the hair presents through the skin, while also experiencing something a photograph cannot show you:
the treatment workload itself has changed.
At the beginning, the question was effectively how many of those substantial hairs I could work through within the available hour.
Later, as that workload changed, I could begin directing treatment time towards hairs that previously had to wait.
For me, that is part of the progress too.
Want to See the Complete Photographic Journey?
I have documented this client's real electrolysis journey through dated photographs taken across the different stages of her treatment — including regular treatment periods, hormonal changes and substantial gaps when she did not shave, trim, pluck, wax or otherwise remove the hair herself.
Rather than selecting only a polished before-and-after, you can follow the photographic journey for yourself and see how the visible hair presentation changed over time.
What Does the Scientific Evidence Tell Us?
This is one real client's treatment journey, and I think it is important to distinguish clearly between what I have observed professionally, what these photographs document and what published scientific evidence can establish.
Electrolysis has been used for unwanted hair removal for well over a century. Unlike laser and IPL, which depend on light interacting with pigment, electrolysis treats individual hair follicles using an electrical current delivered through a fine probe. This means electrolysis does not depend on the hair containing pigment in the same way as laser and IPL.
That distinction is particularly relevant to this client's journey because a substantial proportion of the hairs I encountered were grey or white.
Clinical guidance specifically recognises electrolysis as an option for unwanted white or blonde hairs, while laser and other light-based hair-reduction treatments are more suited to pigmented hairs. This supports an important distinction I already explain to my clients: the right hair-removal method depends partly on the type and colour of hair we are actually treating.
Published scientific evidence also supports something else that is very important in this case:
hormonal facial hair and the underlying hormonal condition are not the same treatment problem.
Facial hair growth can be influenced by hormones and by how individual hair follicles respond to those hormonal changes. Direct hair-removal treatments such as electrolysis treat the unwanted hairs themselves; they do not treat an underlying hormonal or medical condition such as PCOS.
That is why I would never present electrolysis as a treatment for PCOS or another hormonal condition.
My role as a beauty professional is the hair-removal treatment. Medical assessment and management of an underlying hormonal or health condition belong with appropriately qualified healthcare professionals.
There is also an important limitation in the evidence which I believe clients deserve to know.
Although electrolysis has a very long history of professional use, the modern published clinical research specifically examining electrolysis is considerably smaller than the research available for laser and other light-based hair-reduction treatments.
So I do not want to use one client's photographs to make scientific claims they cannot prove.
Instead, this project brings together three different forms of information:
Published scientific evidence — what clinical research and professional guidance tell us about hormonal facial hair, hormonal influences, electrolysis and laser/IPL hair reduction.
Professional observation — what I have observed during nearly 20 years working in beauty and during the hours I have personally spent treating this client's hair.
Documented client journey — dated photographs showing how this particular client's visible hair presentation has changed through periods of regular treatment, hormonal fluctuations and substantial untreated gaps.
Those three things should not be confused with one another.
But when they are presented transparently alongside each other, I believe they can give clients something far more useful than a polished before-and-after photograph:
information they can actually use to make an informed decision.
And this journey isn't finished.
We are now right at the beginning of her new 30-minute pricing plan, and at this stage we are using two 30-minute sessions at a time.
After everything we have already seen — the early stages, the hormonal fluctuation, the long breaks, the gradual changes and now the absence of those long hairs we started with — I am genuinely so, so, so looking forward to seeing what happens next.
There is still work to do.
There are still hairs to treat.
And there will undoubtedly still be changes along the way.
But that is exactly why I wanted this to be a real client journey rather than a finished before-and-after.
We are still in it.
I am looking forward to seeing her next improvements, continuing the journey with her and, with her permission, continuing to document what actually happens.
So perhaps one day I will come back to this blog and add another chapter. :)
Why Didn't I Choose a Client With Quick and Easy Progress?
Because I don't want anyone beginning electrolysis with fake expectations.
Could I have shown you a client whose treatment progressed quickly and easily, without significant stages, interruptions, hormonal fluctuations or ups and downs?
Of course.
Those treatment journeys exist.
But I want to sell you a real service with realistic results — not a polished marketing strategy that leaves you disappointed halfway through your journey.
Substantial facial hair — particularly where hormonal influences are involved — can be a long journey.
From my professional experience, I generally prepare clients with substantial facial hair for something around two to two-and-a-half years, although there is no universal timescale.
This particular client has now been with me for approximately three years, but it is very important to understand that her treatments have never been completely consistent throughout that period.
When she is actively having treatment, we have worked with regular appointments — particularly the two-week pattern we followed during her earlier treatment plans. However, her journey has also included significant breaks of approximately three to five months at a time because of finances, health and life circumstances.
Those long gaps between periods of regular treatment significantly extend the overall treatment journey and therefore also extend when we can realistically expect the final results.
That is why simply saying, “This client has been having electrolysis for three years,” would not tell you the whole story.
Three calendar years are not the same as three years of consistent electrolysis treatment.
It depends on why the excessive growth exists in the first place.
It depends on the amount and type of hair.
It depends on hair-growth cycles.
It depends on hormones.
It depends on consistency.
And sometimes we have stages where we need to change our tactics.
I would much rather explain all of that before you spend your money than give you a perfect before-and-after and allow you to begin with unrealistic expectations.
Electrolysis vs Laser and IPL
This isn't about saying that one treatment is universally good and another is bad.
Different treatments have different purposes.
Laser and IPL can be extremely useful hair-reduction treatments for appropriately selected clients. They can also cover larger areas considerably more quickly than individual electrolysis.
But there is an important distinction:
Laser and IPL are hair-reduction treatments. Electrolysis is permanent hair removal.
Laser and IPL depend on light interacting with pigment, which is one reason grey and white hairs can become problematic for those methods.
Electrolysis does not depend on the colour of the hair in the same way.
So the right question isn't simply:
“Which treatment is better?”
It is:
“Which treatment is appropriate for my hair, my skin, my circumstances and what I actually want to achieve?”
That is exactly what a professional consultation should help establish.
You can also read my Electrolysis vs Laser Hair Removal vs IPL guide.
Does Electrolysis Hurt?
This is one of the questions I hear most often.
Pain is extremely individual.
Most people manage electrolysis absolutely fine.
Others find particular areas more sensitive.
The individual hair can make a difference too.
Some hairs are very strongly attached, and the treatment settings I need to use can therefore vary. Part of the progress I often observe with regular treatment is that as the hair changes, I can adjust the current accordingly, which can make treatment increasingly manageable.
The important thing is communication.
If something is uncomfortable, tell me.
You don't receive a medal for lying on my couch suffering silently. :)
If you are particularly concerned about discomfort, simply ask your local pharmacy about an over-the-counter numbing cream and speak to the pharmacist about which product is suitable for you and how it should be used before your appointment.
Then we can work around you.
How Often Should I Have Electrolysis?
There is no single timetable for everyone.
At the beginning, appointments may sometimes be weekly or every two weeks.
As we progress, that may become every three weeks.
Eventually, the gaps may become considerably longer.
There is, however, a reason why consistency matters.
The ideal opportunity is to treat the hair during Anagen, one of the four stages of the hair-growth cycle and the active growth stage.
For successful treatment, many things need to come together: catching the hair at the right stage, using the correct current, selecting the correct size probe, applying the current for the appropriate amount of time and inserting the probe at the correct angle.
There are a lot of factors involved.
Through my experience, I can control the treatment factors — my probe selection, insertion, angle, current and timing.
The one thing I cannot see simply by looking at a hair is exactly where that individual hair is within its growth cycle.
That part can feel a little like the lottery. :)
Every individual hair has its own growth cycle.
Life would be considerably easier for electrologists if every hair decided to grow at exactly the same stage at exactly the same time.
Sadly, they don't.
That is one reason I recommend choosing a regular interval between appointments and, where possible, sticking to that same pattern.
We can absolutely change the frequency if your progress tells us we need to. But maintaining a consistent appointment pattern gives us repeated opportunities to encounter hairs as they move through their individual growth cycles and reach the Anagen stage.
How quickly your hair grows, the amount of hair present, the treatment area, hormonal influences and how your individual journey develops all affect the frequency.
Sometimes we need to change tactics.
And that isn't failure.
It is part of treating a real person rather than forcing everybody into exactly the same schedule.
My Intention Is Not to Take More and More Money
This is extremely important to me.
My objective isn't to create a client who needs to pay me forever.
It is the opposite.
My intention is to help return your confidence.
I want you gradually to reach the point where beauty services become something you choose for relaxation, wellbeing and enhancing your natural beauty rather than something you feel forced to book because you are constantly trying to correct a cosmetic problem.
Eventually, I would much rather you come to me because you fancy something relaxing than because you feel unable to face the mirror until you've dealt with unwanted facial hair.
Or genuinely recommend me to a friend who might need my services.
That is so much more valuable to me than continuing to take your money with no results to show for it.
Beauty should become something you enjoy again.
What Happens After Electrolysis?
Temporary redness and sensitivity can occur following treatment, but in my experience it is generally very settled and surprisingly mild for most clients. It is not normally the kind of reaction that means you cannot show your face in public immediately afterwards.
Occasionally other temporary reactions can occur too, including small scabs or bruising.
In my entire career, significant bruising following electrolysis has happened only a very small number of times in my own practice.
So it isn't common.
But uncommon doesn't mean impossible.
Just as somebody can occasionally bruise following a blood test, we are working within living skin containing tiny blood vessels and other structures.
Occasionally, when a particular hair or area reacts differently, that also gives me information I can use when approaching that area at the next appointment.
Aftercare is very important.
I recommend appropriate soothing aftercare following electrolysis, including professional aloe vera where suitable.
I also sell the professional aftercare product I use, so clients who want it can conveniently purchase it through my website.
After your service, you receive your full aftercare information by email.
You don't have to remember everything while you're lying on my treatment couch.
You can read it afterwards, follow the instructions and double-check whenever you need to.
PCOS, Perimenopause and Hormonal Facial Hair
Hormones are an important part of this particular client's journey.
Her PCOS and perimenopause form part of the wider picture in which we have been treating her facial hair.
But there is an important professional boundary.
Electrolysis treats the unwanted hair. It does not treat the underlying hormonal or medical condition.
Those conditions belong within appropriate medical care.
My role is to understand that the woman on my treatment couch is not simply a collection of hair follicles.
Her health matters.
Her hormones matter.
Her finances matter.
Her confidence matters.
Her everyday routine matters.
And her expectations matter.
That is why consultation is such an important part of professional beauty care.
What About Teenagers?
Yes, I am happy to consider electrolysis for teenagers where treatment is appropriate and there is written parental consent.
But parental consent isn't simply somebody paying for an appointment.
Under my treatment policy, the parent or guardian must also be present during the service.
And there is another person whose opinion matters enormously:
the teenager.
I have experienced situations where the parent was strongly encouraging treatment but the teenager herself was visibly very uncomfortable.
That isn't a nice or appropriate way to proceed.
I have also had situations where a parent wanted to make payment and leave because she was busy, explaining that her daughter had completed her own research and was confident she wanted the treatment.
Again, that doesn't automatically mean I will proceed.
These are situations where I may use my professional judgement and my Terms & Conditions to refuse or postpone a service.
Electrolysis is a serious professional procedure.
It requires informed decision-making, cooperation, appropriate care and trust.
Payment alone isn't enough.
Why I Chose to Make This Journey Public
Because beauty isn't always superficial.
Sometimes removing a few hairs really is simply removing a few hairs.
And sometimes those hairs represent years of looking in the mirror, shaving every morning, wondering whether somebody else can see them, spending money trying different solutions, dealing with hormonal changes and trying to feel like yourself while your body is doing something you didn't ask it to do.
This lady already has serious things in her life to manage.
Beauty shouldn't become another battle.
If I can make one part of her morning easier...
If she can look into the mirror without immediately searching for facial hair...
If she can reach for that beautiful bright lipstick and simply enjoy putting it on...
that matters.
And that is why I chose to share a journey with different stages and ups and downs, rather than showing you only a quick and easy before-and-after.
Is Electrolysis Permanent Hair Removal Worth It?
If there were something better that I could genuinely offer my clients for permanent removal of this type of facial hair, I would offer it.
But there really isn't.
That doesn't mean I'm going to tell you electrolysis is quick.
I won't.
I won't tell you it is completely painless.
I won't promise exactly how many appointments you'll need.
And I won't show you only a client with quick and easy progress and pretend everybody will achieve identical results.
What I can offer you is nearly 20 years of professional beauty experience, honest consultation, realistic expectations and continued support as your treatment develops.
I am here to support you with your target at whatever stage of that journey you are at.
The aim isn't simply fewer hairs.
The aim is to reach a point where hair removal stops dominating your beauty routine...
...and beauty becomes something you choose because it makes you feel good again.
As an award-winning Hair Removal Specialist (LUXlife Excellence Award for Hair Removal Services 2024), what surprised me wasn't simply that there was less hair. I was watching the type of hair presenting change too — its length, thickness, distribution and, interestingly, its visible colour.
This is a real service, a real client journey and real professional electrolysis permanent hair removal, supporting a woman through two significant hormonal changes in her life — polycystic ovaries and perimenopause.
For me, this journey is also a real example of how women change throughout their lives — and how beauty can change around them to support their health, wellbeing and beauty journey, rather than expecting women to fit around beauty.
Treatments don't always have to follow a perfect timetable. Life changes. Hormones change. Finances, health, family and priorities change. A personalised treatment plan should recognise that and work with the woman in front of us and the stage of life she is in.
I would be very happy to help you too. Just get in touch and let's discuss your personalised plan — one that works around your lifestyle, your individual needs and the stage of life you are at now.
To Be Continued: Part 2 of This Real Electrolysis Journey
This is not the end of this client's story.
Her treatment is continuing, and so is this blog.
I deliberately chose to publish this journey while we are still working together rather than waiting for a perfectly packaged final result. Because real treatment journeys do not suddenly become valuable only when somebody can place a dramatic “before” photograph beside an “after” photograph.
There are still hairs to treat, more treatment stages to come and more progress for us to observe.
So this article will continue with Part 2 of this real electrolysis journey.
With my client's permission, I will continue documenting what happens next — the treatment, the changes, the photographs, the long-term progress and, just as importantly, anything that does not happen exactly as we expect.
No manufactured ending. No carefully selected shortcut. We will simply continue following the real journey.
To be continued...
Part 2 is still being written by the treatment itself. :)
