I've been going for electrolysis for years. Started doing bikini area -worked good. For some it can be painful (for me it's ok - I want it done and it looks so much better - The hairs come back finer and lighter. And now I only do a little treatment once for the summer. Now I've gotten a few on my upper lip and chin also. No one has mentioned this but I also get a few on my boobs and she takes care of them for me. I only had to have them done 2 or 3 times and that's it. they haven't come back. Suzy
