Good morning everyone,
I am a 24-year-old guy with more than average hair growth in my facial/neck area. I have previously been trying hair laser removal without any long-term luck. Since I know that electrolysis is the only option of hair removal that is considered permanent, I have now decided to go for it and finally remove those unwanted hairs.
I just completed my first treatment yesterday with a certified electrologist. Since I currently have limited knowledge about electrolysis, I do have a few questions about the whole process:
-
How many hairs should a normally efficient electrologist treat per hour?
-
Speed wise, is the galvanic method as effective as the other methods?
-
I know it varies from person to person, but how many hours or how long does it usually take from the beginning of treatment to the completion of treatment?
Attached below are two images showing my side neck area prior to the first treatment and my side neck area 24 hours after the first treatment. As illustrated in the images, the electrologist did only manage to treat 75% (or about 35-50 hairs) of one side of my side neck during a 1-hour treatment session. In order to make sure of the electrologist’s efficiency, I also have a few questions concerning the treatment:
-
Should the electrologist manage to treat a larger area than 35-50 hairs during a one-hour treatment? If so, how many hairs?
-
In terms of 24-hours after a first electrolysis treatment, does my side neck area look normal?
-
Would higher current settings speed up the whole treatment process?
I apologize for the long post. Nevertheless, all responses and recommendations are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance
