3 month before electrolysis???

hello,

i have a question. at the moment i am trying to find a good electrologist here in austria.

yesterday i was at a woman.

i read a lot about electrolysis here, but never heard what she swais.

she says that it is important that the hair on the area i want to be treated hasn´t been sheved, epilated etc. for 3 MONTH! she says that after three month hair has grown long enough and developed a tip/peak/forefront (not sure what it is in English, i apologize). she says that hair can be killed best then.

is this true? here i read all the time that it is the best to treat hair with electrolysis as soon as possible after it appears. that is clear the area one time, and then treat all the hair that comes back???

what is true? can you help me?

PS: you can answer in normal English, i understand it much better than i can write it :wink:

thanks for your help and for that forum, we dont have somethink likewise here.

One only needs 3 days after shaving to be able to treat the hair. I don’t see why one would want to have the original tappered tip on the hair before doing electrolysis, it makes no difference to the treatment.

Plucking, Waxing, Tweezing and such are another story. It would take 6 weeks for someone to come up with enough hair to be representative of how much hair they are actually growing again, after any process that rips hair out from the skin. Of course, here again, there is no real reason one can’t just get started on what IS visible sometime in the first week or 3 after one last used a ripping technique.

I agree with James that the existence of the tip of the hair is not a factor affecting a correct insertion, or the results of Electrolysis.
However, there may be other reasons for your electrologist follow this protocol.

The reasons may be:

1.-A maximum of hairs are treated in the first clearance. Therefore, visible results from minute zero.

2.-The closeness of the follicles treated affects the circuit of neural cells. Therefore, you get the analgesic effect of Electrolysis, more quickly.

3 .- The total time to complete the treatment decreases from 12 months to 9 months.

4 .- A reduction in the cost of anesthetic creams. Since having more hair, the cream is better exploited.

5 .- It is harder than the client is confused between false regrowth and regrowth true.
