I wanna get electrolysis done on my upper lip (specifically the outer area of my upper lip as the hair growing there is thicker, darker and there is ingrowns). I was told that I cannot thread or wax my upper lip between sessions. Anyone knows if this is actually an issue or if that’s just to ensure that there is enough hair to be removed for the following session?

Electrolysis or laser specifically targets the melanin in hair and damages the hair follicle so that hair won’t grow back. If you wax/thread/tweeze you are completely removing the hair so there is no melanin to target. You can shave so that the root of the hair is still there but removing the hair completely lowers the efficacy

Confirmed - you do not wax between sessions. I did electrolysis on my legs and bikini line in the winter for this reason.

Hi all, I’ve been taking 15mg XR in the morning and 15mg IR as needed in the afternoon for about 2 years now and it’s helped a lot, however, when I take time off I just feel so lethargic. I’ve read about people taking Wellbutrin as well. Anyone have experiences with this? I meditate and exercise as well, but I just lack energy and almost feel like the same things don’t make me happy when I’m not on my medication.

Any tips on how to improve lining thickness? My RE had me on Estrace for a week before starting Prometrium (vaginally) a few days ago, but my lining is only a little above 5mm. Looks likely that this FET cycle is going to get canceled (was potentially going to be this weekend) since the lining doesn’t seem to be thick enough. This will be the 3rd transfer cycle that’s getting canceled, it just really sucks...what’s worse is I didn’t see my doctor today, just the sono tech, (cont’d)
