How many treatments will I need?

Electrolysis is a process over time. 

Most clients can expect to be completed or nearly completed within 18-24 months if they are following the recommended treatment plan. This all depends on how much hair you have, the structure of the hair, previous hair removal methods, hair growth cycles, hormonal factors and medications.

The more dense your hair is (amount per square inch), the longer it will take to remove it all. In addition to hair density, hair structure ranges from fine vellus hair to dark, coarse hair on the face and body. Dark, coarse, deep hair often requires more than one treatment to break down the hair growth cells.

Initially, appointments start out longer and more frequent. Over time, as hair is eliminated, appointments are shorter and less frequent. 

Hair permanently destroyed with electrolysis will not regrow. However, there is always a possibility that previously dormant follicles may be stimulated to begin growing hair due to a number of factors including hormonal changes caused by pregnancy and menopause, medications and excess stress to name a few. This means you may need touch up appointments over time.
