If you're tired of shaving, waxing, or chasing laser sessions with patchy results, you've likely heard about electrolysis. But is it truly permanent? Let’s break it down.
What Is Electrolysis?
Electrolysis works by inserting a tiny sterile probe into the hair follicle and delivering a short pulse of electrical current. This current destroys the follicle’s ability to grow hair.
Unlike laser hair removal, which targets pigment, electrolysis works on all hair colours including white, grey, blonde, and red hairs and all skin types.
Is Electrolysis Really Permanent?
Yes when done correctly and consistently, electrolysis results in permanent hair removal.
Once a follicle is fully treated, it can no longer produce hair. That follicle is destroyed for good.
But and this is important multiple sessions are required, because:
-
Not all hairs are active at the same time
-
Hormonal fluctuations can trigger new growth
-
Each follicle may need multiple treatments depending on hair type and density
So while results build over time, once an area is fully treated, the hair does not come back.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
It depends on:
-
Area treated
(e.g., face vs. legs vs. bikini) -
Hair type
(thick, coarse, fine, hormonal) -
Hair growth cycles
(anagen vs. telogen phases) -
Hormonal influences
(e.g., PCOS, menopause, testosterone therapy)
For most people, sessions are weekly or biweekly at first, then gradually spaced out. A full course can range from 8 months to 2 years depending on the area.
Is It Worth It?
If you're looking for a long-term, no-regrowth solution especially for areas like the face, chin, bikini line, or after laser fails electrolysis is worth every minute.
It’s especially popular among:
-
Clients with hormonal hair growth
-
Transgender or non-binary individuals pursuing gender-affirming treatments
-
People with light, fine, or resistant hair
-
Anyone who’s done with temporary fixes
