How long does electrolysis take to permanently remove all my hair??

Thank you

[@tortiecatsmeow]

I foolishly used an epilating machine on two parts of my chin and stimulated facial hair. Thankfully it’s only two small patches on my chin but I’m still devastated. 😢 How long would it take to clear those two small patches please, would it still take years? X

[@Z3al4G0d]

Thank you for reiterating that for us, electrologist, that are constantly asked this question.

i had lazer done over 10 yrs ago & on my face too - are you saying lazer increases hair growth?!

Thank you 😊 for sharing this Video, to succeed it does take time, just keep going

[@jhurtado2635]

I have been doing it for 3 years next month on my chin, very consistently. I’m about to give up as I have seen only a small reduction, I don’t think it is worth the cost. I can’t do another 3 years. I’ve spent thousands already.

[@ElectroYogi]

Hi J Hurtado, I am concerned for you that it's taking that long. We see all the hair growth cycles appear in a given area in less than 2 years, so if you have been consistent as you describe, and you're not making the growth worse by tweezing or waxing, and your hormones are stable, you should be finished with your journey on that chin for sure. I wonder what technique your electro is doing, and also whether you are going to treatments with your hairs in the most optimal stage of growth for permanent destruction. I wish we could help you here, but don't give up! You need to make sure you have the right practitioner and that the above things are solid. Wishing you all the best. nicole

[@roslynholcomb]

Thank you for being forthright about the amount of time (and money!) involved. That has been the most frustrating part about this-she wouldn’t say how long yet I was going 4 times a month at $125 a time. We hadn’t even gotten the first clearance and I’d had 9 1.5 hour sessions on my chin and neck! If she’d said that it will probably take two years I would’ve had a better idea of what to expect, instead I just quit in frustration. I plan to return but now I have a better idea of the timeframe and will probably only go monthly. 4x a month was too much. Thankfully the areas she worked on are still clear. So hopefully I’ll just be able to start over and haven’t wasted my money.

[@ElectroYogi]

I'm so glad I could help you Yes, it's a long process! But it is the only truly permanent one. It's hard for people to say how long it will take, due to the fact that so many folks do different things to their hair, and depending on the area, it can seem overwhelming. We usually see clients about every 3 weeks. I hope you can stick with it, and get rid of the hair for good! Sending you love! nicole

[@asakurachaos]

I found out about this method today and was thinking how to get rid of my mustache because the methods I use to discolor it don't work anymore and I was thinking should I start waxing or not . But if I never did this will this method be faster for me to ger rid of the hair ?

[@misshunneebunnie]

[@ElectroYogi]

And you are too kind about our honeymoon! It was an amazing trip, and we are so grateful!

[@MA-lx8op]

yes, how do you know if one is skilled or not?

[@iamherespinning]

thanks for the video. But is it true that when you have for example one hair, that one hair will be gone after only one treatment? or is it after three treatments, because of the different hair growth cycles? I've heard that the correct answer is after only one treatment, because it kills the follicle, no matter where in the cycle the hair is,. That its not like it is with lasers, where the hair have to be in the right cycle.

[@ElectroYogi]

Hi Juni! It is actually a complicated question, because with a great operator/electrologist AND your hairs being in their optimal stage of growth at the time of treatment, you are very likely to have which ever follicles treated at that time to be 100% permanently gone after just the one treatment. BUT, our hair grows in cycles and that means that there are a LOT MORE hair follicles we are waiting to see the hairs come in so we can destroy those follicles. To add complexity, if the hairs are NOT in the active stage of growth when we treat them, you are more likely to have regrowth, which means we may have to treat that same follicle again.

[@Abhi-mv3yh]

If the electrologist is skilled one hair follicle will require only 1 treatment.

[@seanpossible]

Hi there! I have PCOS and get very dark, coarse facial hair. I have been using an underarm razor on my face since 13, and it is drastically damaging my skin - ingrown hairs and acne galore. If I stopped shaving I would probably grow a beard. Is Electrolysis even an option for me as someone with Pcos? Would it ever go away given the hormonal imbalance of pcos? Is it super expensive? I'm young and I'm concerned I will never have the kind of money for how many sessions I would need.

[@ElectroYogi]

Hi L, I'm so sorry you are suffering. PCOS is challenging, but I have never had a client with PCOS whom we did NOT clear eventually. But you are right, it is a long and costly process. Depending on where you live, you may consider finding an electrology school that treats people as part of the training for licensed electrologists. The students must have a lot of training before they can work on the face, and the cost to see students is very inexpensive. Otherwise, maybe you can find out if your insurance would pay for an electrologist who takes insurance. That may also be tough, because the administration of working with insurance companies is usually more work than its worth for small businesses like ours. Lastly, I'd recommend getting a brand new razor, maybe check into the Billie razors, for the body, and a men's 2-blade gilette sensor excel for the face. And always use a gentle cleanser when you shave, and a rich moisturizer afterwards. hope this helps! nicole

[@inesgodelieveakimana2699]

Thank you for your educative video. I want to ask you, do you think one can combine electrolysis treatment and soprano ice laser treatment? Thank you for you again!

[@ElectroYogi]

I would not mix lasers and electro. lots of love!

[@jonnyweber3311]

Is it bad to have laser hair removal treatments on the face?

[@ElectroYogi]

the only time I ever recommend lasering the face is for completely FULL AND DENSE beards, with very dark and coarse hair. lasering the face under these circumstances alone will more likely than not after 6-10 session of laser reduce the volume of hair by about 50%, or even as high as 70%. but know that MUCH of the hair will return over time. And, for anyone with ANY situation that is not that above, do not laser your face, or you may very likely risk getting hair you didn't even have before. We have seen hundreds of cases like this. Also for our transgender clients who first lasered the face, then finished with electro, about 50% of them wish they had just done electro the whole time because they were so frustrated by all the post-laser hair coming back over time. hope this helps.

[@funnybunnies3985]

I will not recommend laser with my personal experience. It will grow back more thick trust me. I have done like 12+ Session. After 1 year hairs are like men. Only difference is you can shave but in electrolysis you can't and everyone knows🥲

[@reethompson9386]

@Komrade Stahlin I hate they told you a timeframe so exact. There's NO WAY for us to give such a definite answer because we CAN'T know but I will assure you that it will go away. Look at the trans people. The ones who stuck with it to the end looks like there was any hair there at all. I never give patients an exact because you all will go home and put that on a calendar and be looking at us at that date and wonder why. You WILL be hair free and if you don't see any improvement at all, find another technician.

Is it safe for this to be done on the genital/Brazilian area? I have only heard of the bikini line but I have areas of the back and also inner that I would love to target? if those details/areas make sense?

[@ElectroYogi]

yes, coco. it is safe for full brazilian. if the hairs are dark and your skin light, 6 sessions of laser would help reduce the hair volume, and then electrolysis could finish the job. if there is NOT a lot of hair, or it is light in color, I truly recommend doing electrolysis all the way, despite it being time consuming. What you want to balance is whether laser could stimulate hair growth, or remove it.

[@mahanoor9791]

Can i have laser and electrolysis both treatment at the se time bcz i have just started my laser treatment and thinking of having electrolysis bcz i have dense hard black hairs😥😥😥😥

I don't recommend doing laser and electro at the same time. And I never recommend lasering the face unless you have a very thick, dense, dark beard. If you do laser, do all the sessions, and then do electro to finish the job.

Does it work for when you have high testosterone levels as a woman? Ive done maybe over 1000 laser sessions on some areas, they did not go away:(

[@reethompson9386]

Yes it does work but laser isn't permanent hair REMOVAL, it, "SOMETIMES", is a reduction. We remove hair on transgendered patients all the time so yes it will work on you. You just will need more treatments than someone who doesn't have a hormonal issue. Remember, we are fighting Mother Nature and either she will give up or we will.

[@nurgulkyn]

@@reethompson9386 thank you very much. Ive done maybe 2 electrolysis sessions and i havent seen results so far. I guess ill need more:(..what ive noticed is, most of the time she just plucked the hair out you know, like the hair follicle wasnt damaged fully otherwise it wouldve came out smoothly. Does that still count?

[@reethompson9386]

@@nurgulkyn You should NOT be feeling it being plucked. It is supposed to come out smoothly. Plucking just means the hair will return more strong and deep. Tell her that you are feeling it being plucked and hopefully she will adjust her current or her insertions. You will occasionally feel one or two being plucked but anything more than that you should seek out another practitioner.

So you mentioned it can take up to 24 months, but how frequent would the process be done? Once per month, twice?

[@ElectroYogi]

Hi Lisette, it all depends on how much hair you have, your skin type, what your skin can tolerate, and what you did before starting electrolysis. There are a lot of factors. Generally our clients come between once every 2 weeks, or every 3 weeks, but it REALLY DOES VARY, because each case is completely unique!

Hope i made sense 😊

[@ElectroYogi]

Hi Maria! Don't worry! Shaving does not make the hair growth worse, and is actually my recommended temporary method of hair removal between treatments while you're going through electrolysis. Sideburns are so fun to work on, because they do not have a lot of hair growth cycles, so you will see results quickly, and in about a year, all that hair will be gone forever! have a great day :)

Can you help me on what I should do? I'm barely about to be 19 and I'm sick of my beard. I don't like it and never did. I NEVER shaved since I've gotten facial hair only Thread, Wax and Epilate. I'm just annoyed of how my face feels and looks when I have hair on my face. I Never shave cause I'm afraid of ingrown, 5 O'Clock shadow, Thicker hairs and stubbles. I want my clean hair free face back and I've literally been depressed for almost 4 years as I never went outside or socialized since 2016.

[@matildastanford7019]

Galvanic electrolysis is definitely the only way to permanently remove hair, especially on the face. The bad news is waxing and threading simulates hair growth and electrolysis is a lengthy and expensive process. Hair also needs to be long enough to grasp with tweezers as well. It depends on where you live as to how expensive the treatments will be as full beard hair is notoriously difficult and dense. Also due to higher testosterone in men dormant follicles can activate between treated follicles. An alternative to work in conjunction with electrolysis is DMK Alkali as it is chemically similar to what the electrolysis process produces example; Lye aka Sodium Hydroxide NOTE ( DO NOT attempt to use? in desperation, raw Sodium Hydroxide (NAOH) on your face AT ALL or you will end up in hospital with chemical burns and disfigurement!!! ) Go to a professional electrologist or beauty therapist instead.
