I was reading up online about electrolysis and I encountered this page where they give examples of women treated with electrolysis and I was wondering if this is possible that you will need this much of time to achieve considerable results I will attach the link here http://hairremoval.about.com/od/electrolysis/a/cost-electrolys_2.htm
Time as in 10 years? Or time, the actual hours spent in the chair/table? It seems to me those people could have taken years off their treatments by scheduling longer appointments more frequently. You are still going to have the same amount of table time though depending on the skill level of your electrologist
Well, I kind of felt as if they were giving a wrong idea of the actual process in which electrolysis works, maybe the patients were coming back for touch ups every couple months along the the ten years! Of course due to many factors such as hormones follicles that didn’t produce hair in the past became active and produced hair! It could be misleading to the reader. It’s just like saying that electrolysis requires too many treatments, a fortune to be spent on and countless years so it can produce some results, which sounds totally ridiculous and untrue
I have had clients who got finished in 9 months by coming in every 3 weeks and have me remove hairs they did not even see yet. My standard client completes in 18 to 24 months with a 6 to 8 week schedule of treatments, and yet, I have a person who has not finished in 16 years… oh, because some years we only have one actual appointment. It is all about treatment time on the table and frequency of the same. For genetic women, one must also guard against hormonal imbalances that cause new follicles to be recruited to grow new hairs. That is all, it is really simple.
Our greatest problem is people don’t understand that hair grows in cycles and even if the work we do is 100% kill rate, one would see hairs growing in the treated area again in the space of some weeks when the next phase of hair growth comes in from follicles that were not growing hairs on the treatment day, and therefore were not selected for treatment.
