Courses
of treatment:
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.
