When was your last electrolysis appointment before SRS?
I think it was about 8-weeks for me. Better to be safe and make sure the skin is in best condition for the surgery, it takes a battering after! Lol X
I'm having my last session 2 and a half weeks before surgery. I'm doing it all through McGinns office. They recommend waiting 4 weeks between your last session and surgery though. I'm only doing this out of necessity
Does McGinn's electrologist bill insurance (or at least have an NPI so you can try to get reimbursed)?
They don't bill insurance directly at all. You have to pay out of pocket then submit a claim for reimbursement
Mine was almost three weeks before surgery.
I made a bad choice and went two weeks before. But that was it of necessity because I was coming back from college.
I’m going to give it three weeks.
I had to do it 3 weeks prior to SRS because of COVID-19 closures in the spring. This was the earliest and the closest I could get (6 hours drive one way). COVID-19 had a huge hit on SRS preparations. I remember in April I found an open place that was still open just within 19 short hours of drive only to get a call from them when I was within 1 hour from the destination that they had to close urgently due to COVID-19.
I have to say that electrolysis machines are different. The one that was used right before the surgery was one of the most modern. It wasn't very painful and I healed quickly after that. The machine with 2 dials is bad.
Edit: I healed very well after the surgery. So, doing it 3 weeks before the surgery was not an issue for me.
Does anyone know any good electrolysis in the U.K.?
