about Hair Cycles
Hair is in a constant process of growth, transition and rest.
Hair growth occurs in phases and at different rates based on the area of the body. Not all hairs are in the same phase at the same time. This is why it takes repeated visits to clear an entire area.
Hair is going to be one of three stages of growth:
Growth Phase
Hair is connected to the blood supply in this period of active growth. Hair is at its greatest depth at this stage and thus in the most ideal phase for electrolysis treatment. It is important to maintain regular appointments so that we can treat hair in this stage before it begins to separate from the blood supply.
Transition Phase
The hair is separating from the blood supply and no longer growing in this stage. Hair treated in this stage will be damaged with electrolysis, but will probably regrow as a weaker, finer hair. Regular appointments will keep these damaged hairs from repairing themselves.
Resting Phase
The hair rests in the follicle, disconnected from the blood supply, until it is pushed out by the growth of a new hair. Hair treated in this stage will be damaged with electrolysis, but will regrow. Regular appointments will keep these damaged hairs from repairing themselves.
