Is the hair finer after one treatment?

Hair Removal Methods Professional Electrolysis
#1

I live in Michigan, but have not had any good experiences with electrologists here. I will be visiting New york city in a couple of weeks and am interested in getting work done by Arlene Batz since she is so well recommended. But I can only get treatment once from her, since I still live in Michigan

Do you think that if I just get one treatment from her and go back to michigan and dont do anymore electrolysis, will the hair on my upper lip be finer/ less noticible. Or do you think that just one treatment could make the hair thicker? or more noticible?

You are going to need more than one treatment to get results that you are satisfied with. It probably helps going to someone who is doing the treatment properly. I’ve gotten four months worth of treatment about a year ago and now just completed about two to three months just recently and that is going about once every week. I still have a ton of hair, but I haven’t had the greatest luck with electrologist either.

I answered your private message, hido, before I saw this, so I will copy it here.

One treatment will help the current hairs that are above the skin’s surface at the time Arlene treats them. If there is any regrowth from some treated follicles, those hairs should be weaker and finer - not thicker. Many will be gone forever.

It cannot be emphasized enough that any area needs several treatments over a period of 9-18 months because of how hair growth cycles work. Hair growth cycles slow us down. What part of Michigan do you live in? Sorry if you told me that before.

After six months of weekly treatment, the hairs remaining on my upper lip are finer and lighter, with a few fine but dark black hairs resurfacing occasionally. My lower lip and chin still require several more clearings over the next few months, before the thickness of the whiskers is diminished, as well as their density.

One electrolysis treatment will not be enough to make a dramatic impact but it can be a good start.

Hair grows in cycles. This means that all of the hair that you are capable of growing, appears over time. Once you begin electrolysis, you will see less hair growth in the treated areas.

Regarding thinning: there is no assurance that electrolysis can create a thin hair from a thick hair however you can be assured that you will have less hair as we work. Often times, clients want the thickest hairs removed. What is left untreated, are thin hairs. This is often why clients think that electrolysis is making the actual hairs thinner.

View this also, as an opportunity to experience how efficient proffesional treatment should feel. It will help you to better assess future practitioners. Then you may conclude, that commuting, could be the wiswst choice for you. That one session with Arlene, could end me saving you a fortune, in both time and money.
