@nicole I'm planning to start electrolysis down below next year myself after 2 further laser sessions.
Are you using numbing cream, like prilocaine and lidocaine? That really helps to numb the area amazingly.
Case in point, I've felt zero pain at all from the 6 laser sessions I've had down below with a Candela GentleMax Pro machine.
@SleepyCatten yup, gobs of 10% lidocaine all wrapped tight in plastic.
Seemed to work well for the first half hour, but at some point it just started to feel like a prolonged stitches session.
Going to try application a little closer to the actual appointment time to see if that helps (one hour before, versus two).
At the end of the day, I’ll do whatever I have to, but I admit to being jealous of those who have access to lidocaine injections—that’s supposed to be entirely pain free.
@SleepyCatten beginning the prilocaine hunt! TU!!
@SleepyCatten You are my hero! 🙇♀️
@nicole You can buy a mixed cream here. There's usually a working discount code floating around the internet and the tubes are cheaper in bulk.
