Jodi,
I've been doing electrolysis for years. Although it takes some time, it
is a very reliable and best method for permanent hair removal. I
believe that in April's case, the electroligist was performing work
incorrectly. It is very easy to just be tweezing after the zap then
pulling and letting the hair slide out. Only an experienced
electroligist will know the difference. Ask good and thorough questions
in choosing an electroligist. I have had my upper lip, eyebrows, side
burns done and have seen tremendous improvement. The hair is gone. I
continually work on different areas. Make sure your PCOS is being
treated first, as you may not see progress if the PCOS is not under
control.
