Hair Re-growth

For most people one course of treatment will not be sufficient to remove all unwanted hair, this is often because of a number of reasons: -

Wavy/Kinky hair - If you hair is naturally wavy, you often have distorted follicles, these require a number of treatments as the papilla (hair follicle) is difficult to reach on the first session, the hair is often weakened after the first treatment but not destroyed.

Destroyed follicles - Often caused by tweezing or waxing the area, this can also cause greater re-growth. A hair takes on average 8 weeks to re-grow, so if a client has been tweezing or waxing up until recently and has decided to come for electrolysis, hairs will re-emerge after treatment, that were not treated by electrolysis but previous removed through waxing or tweezing. So you should be aware that it will not be ineffective treatment through electrolysis but hair re-emerge from previous treatment.

Sensitive Skin - If the client has sensitive skin; the treatment will need to be done in stages, as to prevent skin damage.

Hormone Imbalance - This is often a reason for excessive hair re-growth, should you suspect this it would be advisable to consult your doctor.
