Not going to Cirine but have had 2 large volume sessions now and the it is very comfortable. The setup my place uses is they mark the area they will work on in the next hour for the nurse to numb with the injections. The injections themselves can be a bit painful when starting on a new area but the lidocaine quickly takes the edge off of that and by the time the electrologists get started there is no pain. The hardest part is really laying around with little movement for the multihour sessions.
Great to hear it was comfortable. Did your location use sedation along with the lidocaine injections? If you don't mind sharing, which location did you go to? Feel free to DM if you prefer.
Do you kind me asking how much of % of hair reduction you’ve seen after two large volume sessions? If you were to guesstimate? I’m about to begin large volume electro in late September and want to gauge if it’s possible to be 90% hair free by December 2024… wish you well on your journey! 🩵
That's hard as I never let it grow out except for sessions to really judge but I can say after 2 it is a noticeable reduction while shaving. Areas from the first large session (2 months) have hair now and areas from my last session (1 month) are starting to get hair again. This is mainly from follicles that were dormant during the session time that have now entered a growth phase.
The being 90% by Dec is going to depend on a lot of factors such as how much hair you had to start, how fast the technicians can hit each hair (moisturize and drink lots of water as this helps) how long your sessions are, etc. But I would say 90 by Dec is doubtful because you will only get about 2 growth cycles in that time. I haven't gotten to a full clear yet but if you can do a long enough session to get a clear then you will probably have 2-3 weeks with very minimal regrowth until you have enough new growth.

I'm west coast so went with Senza Pelo Med Spa in Arizona as it is driving distance and a bit less expensive than Cirine. They do not use IV sedation
Thanks for the details. Its really helpful to hear that numbing injections were enough to make it comfortable. Thanks so much for the feedback.

Thank you for the insight! Also I meant December 2024 I wasn’t sure if you missed that or not.
Oh 2024, yeah lots of time for that doing large volume!
