How many electrolysis treatments will I need?
You'll require multiple appointments for effective permanent hair removal. The number of sessions necessary can vary among individuals, but typically, you’ll have an appointment every week or every other week. Expect the treatment duration to extend over a year and a half or more, based on individual factors and the cause of hair growth.
The length of treatment is influenced by several key factors, including the area of the body being treated, the hair type in that region, previous hair removal methods, and hormonal influences. If you're addressing a larger area or dealing with coarse hair, anticipate needing more treatments to achieve optimal results.
Why are multiple electrolysis treatments essential? Each hair undergoes different growth cycles, where follicles produce hair and shed it through a natural process. Since individual hairs are in varying stages of this cycle, multiple treatments ensure that we target them at the right time to effectively destroy them.
Make sure to consult with your technician to devise the most effective treatment plan tailored to your needs.
