This is MASSIVELY helpful, thank you!!
Totally understand, I am currently massively hairy, and it grows back stupidly fast and thick.
Electro place I'm eyeing runs about $85 a session. I've got decent pain tolerance and a pretty good likelihood of that "red hair anesthetic resistance" so idk how effective a numbing cream would be. For an ingrown toenail, they had to come back 3-4 times with injections to numb my big toes
Laser honestly smelt worse than hurt. Electrolysis was whole different kinda evil…
I went without, until it was time for the pits & ‘stache. Both were humbling experiences & convinced me to numb up for the rest of the ride.
Best of luck & happy to help!
Thanks! I feel like it's worth every second of pain. I'm definitely under no illusions for that. Videos of it kinda look like a reverse tattoo in a weird way.
