 Electrolysis hair removal is the only method of hair removal that can claim to have permanent results according to the FDA. As we all know, electrolysis is a lengthy process, and a certain amount of regrowth is part of that process. Regrowth after electrolysis explainedTo understand the process of regrowth and the ideal time interval between clearing sessions of electrolysis hair removal we first have to understand the basics of hair growth. If we take a look at a random 10 hairs in the face about 4 out of 10 hairs are in the Resting phase, called Telogen. 6 out of 10 hairs are in the Growing phase, called Anagen. 5 days prior to facial electrolysis and 10 days prior to genital electrolysis, you need to stop shaving. Only the hairs in the growing stage will grow adn will be visible at the surface. Hence the name growing phase. Notice in the example above that the 1st hair early in the Growing phase still has not reached the surface of the skin. This means 5 on 10 hairs are not visible at the time of the first clearing electrolysis session. So they are not treated as the electrologist can only treat the hair that is visible. This is called “FALSE” regrowth. Let’s say in a 6th hair the shot of the electrologist failed to kill the hair. This is called “TRUE” regrowth.This means you will have a TOTAL “regrowth” of 6 out of 10 hairs after the first session. Only one of them in this example is true “regrowth”. Hair in the final week of resting appears within one weekIn this example hair number 4 is in her final day of resting the day of treatment. This hair will start growing the day after the electrolysis session. It will appear on the surface of the skin within the week. The early anagen hair will even reach the surface in less than a week. Hair in the first week of resting appears after the resting duration is finishedNow let’s have a look what happens with the hair on the other extreme. Hair 1 started resting the day of the shaving. The duration of the resting phase is also not the same at different areas of the face. The lip hairs are on average 6 weeks in rest, the rest of the beard 10 weeks. Mind you, these are the average so there is variation between person and the other. Also for the same hair the duration of rest and growing. If hair 1 is a lip hair, she will be in rest for 6 weeks before appearing on the lip. Every lip hair appearing before 6 weeks was not visible so not treated during the 1st clearing session. If hair 1 is another beard hair, she will be in rest for 10 weeks before appearing on the face. Every hair appearing before 10 weeks on the rest of the face was not treated during the 1st clearing session. What happens with the electrolysis shot that missed to kill the hair follicle?The missed shots on the lip will become visible on average 6 weeks after treatment. This means that you will have a little peak of regrowth of hairs on the lip on average 6 weeks after treatment. The missed shots of the rest of the beard will become visible after 10 weeks, with a little peak of regrowth at the same time. How much regrowth after electrolysis hair removal is normal?Electrolysis Regrowth can be classified in two main categories: False regrowth:
True regrowth:
The endless controversy about regrowth in electrolysis hair removal is largely due to the fact you cannot tell if the hair is true regrowth or, for example, an anagen hair replacing an earlier shed telogen hair. You cannot look at a hair and be certain, because “new growth” hairs and “regrowth” hairs look the same. There are electrologist that think a hair has to be treated several times before it is permanently destroyed. While there may be some truth to the “breaking down” concept, we don’t believe in it. We believe that you either destroy the follicle, or you don’t. If the follicle is not destroyed, the regrowth ultimately achieves its original size. There will always be a certain amount of re-growth after initial electrolysis treatments, even when they are performed by a skilled electrologist. Whilst opinions differ as to what is an acceptable percentage, most experienced electrologists estimate that for a treatment to be considered effective, at least 40-50 percent of the hairs should be permanently removed with each treatment.The average killing rate is 50-60 % with 60-75% being roughly the highest level possible. Experts cannot give a definitive figure because there are so many variables which affect outcomes. The electrologist’s skill in working with these variables will determine the percentage of permanency for each individual treatment. Don’t get discourages, just keep attending your appointments regularly. This will ensure you get the most positive results. Related articles:
Does hair grow back finer after electrolysis?The results of the treatments are progressive. This means that after each treatment the hair grows back finer and fairer, taking longer to return, until eventually it doesn't grow back at all. If the hairs have previously been removed by plucking you may need more electrolysis treatments than untreated growth.
Do you see results after one electrolysis session?Electrolysis takes some patience but it's absolutely worth the wait as the effects are truly permanent. Most patients start to have noticeable results after several treatments, however, it can take on average 8-18 months for full results. This variance is due to many factors and every patient is unique.
What is a downside to electrolysis?“Electrolysis, like laser hair removal, still requires multiple treatments, but it is a great option for hair removal for those with light hairs,” says Advanced Dermatology PC's Kally Papantoniou. Cons: It is time-consuming, costly, and there's the potential for skin discoloration if not performed properly.
How many electrolysis sessions does it take to get rid of hair?You will need around eight to twelve electrolysis sessions to permanently remove your hair. This may seem like a lot of sessions, but remember that once it's done, that hair is gone forever! The thicker and denser the hair in an area, the more sessions you'll need to remove it.
