Intensive electrolysis program for clearing of facial hair

For almost every male-to-female transgendered person, the beard is the real project area for permanent hair removal. Facial hair is among the more conspicuous secondary sex characteristics, and getting rid often is a nightmare for transwomen. It hurts, its expensive, its embarrassing and it seemingly takes forever. The biggest advantage of the intensive program is that you only have to let your facial hair grow 4 times instead of once every week…

So we can clear a beard in a total of 80 hours during 10 days in 4 sessions, in a total time frame of 6 months from start to finish for a total price of 8000 euro. Mind you, this is for the average beard and lip. Not all facial hair will have been removed, but the shade will. There will still be some blonde hairs remaining which can be cleaned up by a local electrologist. We can work this intensively because we use a pain pump which makes the process pain free

We can clear a client’s face in about a third of the time as opposed to other electrolysis programs. We can do the electrolysis this intensive because we use a painpump which makes it painfree. An average beard and lip using the intensive treatment takes about 80 hours start to finish.

The standard treatment program in most electrology practices is one session per week, one hour per session. With this program complete permanent removal of male pattern facial hair takes on average 2 years. In total about 300 hours of treatment are necessary. You will have paid a total sum of 4 times the price of our intensive program.

Principle

We do a complete (partly non-permanent) clearing of the average beard and lip every 8 weeks (ideal to catch as much as possible hairs in the growing phase).

• Approximately  70% of your hair follicles are active during the first clearing. Although all hairs will be cleared during the session, about half of it will grow back. Your first sessions will account for the longest of all the clearings. Each follow up clearing will involve less time as there are progressively fewer hairs to be treated.
• We use a painpump which makes the session painfree.
• It is important to stick to the 8 weeks interval as the hairs that are not killed are weakened. This makes the chance you kill them in the next session much higher. If you leave longer intervals hairs can regain its full strength again.
• Most patients will lose their shadows permanently after the 4th clearing, as long as they adhere to the 8 week clearing interval. There will still be some blonde hairs remaining which can be cleaned up by a local electrologist.
