Some of my clients have had the opportunity to be in front of professional cameras. Of course, this has required the help of a makeup artist and the resulting good reviews on the skin condition following my work is one of the nicest compliments that I have ever received.

With current practices (get the pun?) the process of clearing many faces has shrunk to as little as 100-125 hours. However, I also have done a few that have been nothing short of a vendetta. Yes, I will admit that some work has required as long as 300 + hours, but I must also point out that my clients have all admitted that the results were well worth it.

These days there has been a tendency for clients to opt for laser electrolysis, then apply to me to remove those hairs that have been unaffected by laser. These hairs are usually blonde or red or grey. In the section on laser electrolysis I go into painstaking detail on how laser can affect the work I do and the outcome you can expect. I would read it very carefully. Experiences of the last 5 years have been dismal at best where I shared the work with a laser operator. One hilarious case involved a client who suffered through 15 sessions of laser electrolysis and asked me to remove the remainder. I didn’t even have the nerve to charge my usual laser premium prices as all of that work had been so ineffective that there was literally no observable changes in the hair follicles at all.

Facial hair can be done and done right. Attempting to short cut the process for the sake of speed or cost can lead to some very serious repercussions. One client made an unwise decision and so far has invested over $50,000 (I’m not kidding) in getting facial work done. Others I have seen have paid a much more demanding price in scarring that can not be undone by the best of plastic surgeons. They have told me so. A little foresight and some research can be well worth the effort.
