Had to bump this topic. Had electrolysis for years after the birth of DS2, I think it was hormones. This was never the permanent solution just a drain on my purse which I went along with. Last session was over 3 years ago, then came lockdown, salons closed and my local ceased that treatment. A couple of weeks in Tesco saw display for Veet wax strips and thought why not? I'd resisted it as electrolysis was so uncomfortable particularly the upper lip.
Why did I wait so long? They were easy to use and any discomfort was minimal. Some redness for an hour and half but I've learnt now that ice rubbed on the treated area will help this. A week on, no regrowth though I know that will happen and I will probably treat every 3 weeks. I was so pleased that I couldn't stop looking the mirror for the next two days!!
I’ve been using Veet wax strips for a while now, with the odd strong hair being tweezed out. I find them easy to use and I cut the strips up in to manageable pieces. Also find them useful on eyebrows. I find I have to do my ‘tash’ about once a fortnight.
