I know Eva managed to get anti-andros without performing a RLE, but I think that's rare. I have to import mine...

Hi there

In a way it depends on your age. Are you still getting hairier in the parts of your body that you wish to get electrolysis?

From what I've read, when you have electrolysis:
-hairs that are over a certain age will not grow back (permanent removal)
-hairs that are under a certain age will be removed by the treatment but will grow back

eg a hair that has been on your chest for 2 weeks will be removed by electrolysis but will grow back, but a hair that has been on your chest for 2 years wll be removed by electrolysis and will not grow back. (I've used random numbers here...it is unlikely to be exactly 2 weeks or 2 years..just needed to illustrate the point)

So...if you are still going through that male-bodied adolescent stage of getting hairier, the electrolysis process (ie the number of visits) will be lengthier. If you are past this stage of increasing yeti-ness the electrolysis process will be shorter as you won't be fighting a biologically increasing hair density.

If you are not taking anti-androgens and are past the increasing hairiness stage, electrolysis should go fine.

If you are not taking anti-androgens and are still in the increasing hairiness stage, electrolysis will still go fine - however you will have to go back for more treatments.

Cheers
