Starting from my early 20's I gradually began to grow dark hairs on my chin and then the sides of my cheeks. First I plucked the hairs and subsequently, I resorted to shaving as the growth became too heavy to control with plucking. The shaving and plucking caused skin irritation, rashes and pimples, but still didn't fully hide my problem. After about half a day, you could see the black dots reappearing on my skin, along with the red shaving rash and ingrown hairs. By the time I was 28 I had given up thinking I would find a solution. My life was being restricted by the problem. I was embarrassed and had lost a lot of confidence. Having resigned myself to the fact that I would have to put up with shaving every morning for life, I noticed an advertisement for Permanence in the local paper. What gave me hope was the fact that they didn't seem to mind how bad the problem was. They seemed to be confident that it could be treated. I decided to give it a go as by that time, I didn't care how much it cost (I was prepared to spend my life savings), or whether it would only give a partial cure to my problem. I had a consultation with Noreen and was given an estimate of the number of hours it would take to eliminate all of the facial hairs, the cost and the length of the period over which treatment would have to be given. Noreen's frankness and honesty was impressive. She described exactly how the treatment would work and the likely results. The results have been far better than I could ever have dreamed of. The hairs have just disappeared like magic along with the rash and the pimples. The process was relatively painless After an hour it was hardly noticeable that I had had a treatment. These days I don't have to worry about shaving every morning or covering up my chin. I am back to being a normal person now after being a freak for too many years of my life. My only regret is that I didn't find out about Permanence earlier. It has been such a small price to pay for getting a normal life back.

I can only recommend highly the specialists at Permanence for their expertise in the area of electrolysis. I had a very severe case of facial hair and was very embarrassed to seek professional help. I had been waxing the upper lip and bleaching the rest of the hair. However, when I finally had courage enough to approach Noreen, I was given the 'Royal Treatment'. Noreen not only is a professional in her field, but is also very sensitive to peoples feelings making you very much at ease and more confident in yourself as time goes by. Electrolysis is the only way of permanently removing hair, and although it is a long process, it is one that is well worth preserving with. I can say that I am a very satisfied customer.

Noreen, This gift is in appreciation of your support and love, without which I wouldn't have the freedom to be who I am now.

Having had a full face of hair that I needed to shave twice a day so it wasn't noticeable electrolysis changed my life. The Permanence Team transformed me from a person who wouldn't look you in the face, to being confident and presentable.
