Unlike other hair removal methods that offer a temporary solution, Electrolysis is a permanent and its the only FDA approved method of permanent hair removal system. Electrolysis can be expected to destroy 50 to 60 percent of the hair follicles during any one session, Therefore, you can reasonably expect a 40 ro 50 percent regrowth of hair in the following weeks or months (assuming all growing hairs are successfully destroyed).
Some regrowth will persist even after second of third session because the resting hairs won’t all start growing ready for the next session, results will become more permanent, as very few hair follicles remain alive.
After each session, you can expect the resting hairs to appear within the first week. The last untreated hair become visible within six weeks – the maximum resting period.
How does hair regrowth compare to other treatments?
Commonplace hair removal treatments, like waxing or tweezing, do not produce permanent hair removal, because these methods only remove the hair above the skin, the underlying follicle remains intact. Even chemical treatments aren’t as effective as many believe.
The most popular alternative to electrolysis is laser therapy, here, a laser is triggered at the hair follicle, producing a similar burning that aims to cauterize the hair follicle. However, being more indirect, laser hair removal isn’t as likely to kill the hair follicle as electrolysis. Hair regrowth is more common, therefore, it is not considered a permanent form of hair removal, even if the effects are long lasting.
