How long does it take to achieve permanency?
Electrolysis requires a series of treatments given over a period of time. The length of time varies from person to person and is dependent on many factors. The density and coarseness of the hair, as well as the total area to be treated, are very important. How well you tolerate treatments and the consistency of the treatments affect the overall success. The cause of the unwanted hair and the temporary methods of dealing with the hair in the past also affect the treatment time. Many hairs will be permanently removed after the first treatment, while some will require additional treatments to achieve permanency. Treatments will be more frequent in the beginning and less frequent later on. The overall result – permanently hair-free skin – is usually well worth the time spent.
