6 - 18 Months
Permanence is achieved gradually with a series of treatments. When receiving efficient electrolysis treatment regularly, over 50% of the offending hairs can be eliminated within the first four to six months. The key is clearing the area once every two weeks. If the hairs are too numerous to clear that frequently, or treatments are irregular, then completion time will be delayed accordingly. Individual results differ, because of variations in skin sensitivity and hair types, and causes of growth, but most cases are fairly predictable.
How Many Treatments?
Non aggressive growth may need 2 treatments while large or difficult areas may need dozens of treatments. Treatment intervals make a difference here. Waiting longer in between treatment will reduce the number of sessions but increase the time of the session as well as prolonging results.
