Electrolysis works a 100%. The reason why the same area requires several treatments is that each hair has its own growth cycle. If the technician removes the hair in the anagen phase (active growth) then the hair is gone forever. Not sure what the outcome is if the hair is removed at the catagen phase (transitioning phase) but if the hair is removed at the telogen phase (resting phase) then it's the same as tweezing so you'll have to come back. There are ways to identify the phases, look at the bulb/root of the removed hair. Also, once the hair is "zapped" it should easily slide out of your skin. If it resists the pull then the technician needs to reapply the heat otherwise it's the same as tweezing. A good technician will know everything I just wrote but make sure to do your own research and speak for yourself if you feel like something is off. It's a lot of money, get the service you're paying for!
I’ve been going to electrolysis for over 10 years. It’s a veryyyyy lengthy process, but so worth it. Hair growth changes with stress, weight, etc. For now, I only go about three times a year versus going once a week when I first started. I do have pcos and had embarrassing chin hairs from the start of my teenage years. If anyone is considering and can afford it I’d say go for it. It’s worth the confidence booster ❤️
You probably have a pituitary/adrenal tumor if it's that much. PCOS is the catch-all misdiagnosis they still saddle people with. You need competent hormone testing and assessment and that's DIFFICULT to find outside LA.
I am sorry but please look further into this as it may be the electrologist you are going to. Electrolysis should only take a year as quoted by the number one electrologist in ATL. If you feel the “pluck” after the machine zaps you from the tweezer your treatment is being done incorrectly
I just started about a month ago and my electrolycist explains the process and why it takes a while (hair growth cycle). She goes back over the area that she did previously to get the hairs that have grown in since the previous treatment. So far I’m happy with the results.
@@jasminmonteiro9786 she suggested once a week so we could see the growth cycle. I’m going about every 10 or so days now. Went two days ago for the first time in about 5 weeks due to both of us being gone for Thanksgiving and other things. We’ve discovered that my gray hairs seem to have a different growth cycle!
Not comparing the same thing. Comparing body laser to face electrolysis when the hair growth cycles are completely different. It’s why you can grow a beard or head hair that extremely long.
I've been getting electrolysis done for a little less than a year for my upper lip. I hated the light shadow I would get whenever the hair would grow back! It's been working really well for me! I had a lot of upper lip hair (not super dark thankfully) but it was something that would always bother me. It is super painful, definitely when the electrologist removes the hair in the middle close to my lip! Depending on the amount of hair you have, it's a tedious process. I go for a 15 min session every 2 weeks. I did miss a few sessions in between, so I feel like if I didn't miss those.. I would've been close too, if not, done with treatment. My mom had SUPER dark hair on her chin, and some on her upper lip. I believe she also went for a year, and now, she goes back maybe once or twice a year when a dark hair grows. After each session- ICE THE AREA! Bring an icepack with you, unless the facility provides some ice. It will help with the pain and the redness/swelling! I usually pop 2 ibuprofens an hour or 2 before my session and it helps! It is painful, but worth it! You won't have to pay for waxing/threading! In between, if you have to, SHAVE the hair... do not pluck/thread/wax it! Price: The place I go to is pretty expensive now. It used to be around $35/15 min a few years ago (my mom used to go), now it is $50/15 min. But I trust my electrologist, I don't think I would feel comfortable going to anyone else at this point. It is a long and painful process, but the results are definitely worth it!
It takes a long time but it works. Tooke me a year and a half of going biweekly but it was worth it. There were times when I thought I was done and then some hairs popped up. Just stick with it if you can.
@@shabnammansoorie8120 Well I guess it's too early for me to confirm that it's permanent, but I believe it will be. And no, I'm not completely hair free yet, but I'm close. Some hairs came back very fine. I really only see them when I am looking in a magnified makeup mirror. I'm in the process of getting those treated now. Just keep going. Some hairs have to be treated more than once.
@@msstm1 thank you for the quick reply. I also deal with facial n chin hair . I'm currently on my 3rd session. Even some hairs grow back but they are slightly thin now. But i want permanent removal. Hope it's work for me. Because i am sick of this facial hair. This is really annoying to shave or wax every morning.😤
Thank you for sharing this process. I also appreciate the comments from everyone. I had laser Done some years ago. It works except for the gray hair. Ugh! I started electrolysis couple weeks ago for my chin where I have gray hair. I’m tired of plucking and the ingrown hairs ruining my skin. Has anyone gone through this with gray hair?
I had 1.5 hours done so far and OMG the difference already! I can touch my face again, I will carry on for a year. The only thing I do not like is that place I go too keeps trying to talk me into Laser hair removal I keep telling them no and they keep pushing.
My advice is see if you could seek someone out who does galvanic electrolysis, it is much more effective than using heat which I assume is the treatments you’re getting now
She is too inconsistent with her treatments I go every 2 weeks religiously and have seen results , I do 90 minute sessions to remove chin hair , side burns & upper lip
@@ChelliBee I started laughing when you explained the rught side is holding on. I to feel my whole chin hair is hokding on to dear life. The worse pay about it is that a lot of them are turning white. The laser removal lady had told me she can't get rid of white hair. Good Lord.
Shoot, maybe they’re making money out of you. You should, just as a test, go to someone else, since they’re lowering the intensity. I mean if you’re not complaining about it, and you still have hair coming in why lower it, right?
Nice video, I have been doing it for a year and I do laser on other body parts, fingers crossed! I see the difference but you just have to be consistent
Yes my ex humiliated me a lot for facial hair and I removed it using an epilator and then started electrolysis but just cause he can see follicles, he hurt me and complained about it.
Ive been going for little over 6 months now, i can tell some improvement but if i dont consistently go i get new hair growth coming back. every two weeks is about all i can afford because it is expensive. Ive debated if i should keep going but i am very self conscious of it so i am going to keep going for now in hopes the hair growth will eventually stop.
@@MsPerlalatina7 hi sis, does it really work if we go once a month if we are getting full clearence each session and not doing anything to those hairs in between? I can only afford once a month sessions because I need to travel to another state for treatments and scheduling flights and appointments is really hectic so once a month is the only thing i can manage. Asking because everyone I ask keeps saying go every 2 weeks i wish i could but no electrologist in my state. 😞
@@sinbycosi2813 yes ofc the most important is to not tweeze it nor wax it between sessions, you can trim it with scissors. Look for a good electrologist because it's so important too some of them just pluck hair, going once a month is the recommended because you need to give time to skin to heal having a session once every two weeks is more for aesthetic for ppl who can't stand hair on their face more than that. Drink a lot of water and eat vegetables avoid sugar as much as you can 😘
You spend 250$ a minute?! You pay 3750$ for one visit! Ummm what do you do for a living to be able to throw almost 4000$ on nothing? I hope that is $2.50 a minute because 250$ a minute is insane no normal person could afford that

I don’t think they are supposed to use laser on you face especially around your thyroid. I wonder why they are pushing for that.

Thank you, I’ll look into that.
Is galvanic electrolysis a permanent hair removal process ?
@@MohammadMahadiHassain Yep!
How often did you attend your appointments? once a week? Also how much have you spent on electrolysis so far? Thanks in advance!
Every 3 weeks. I’ve spent about $600-$700 so far.
So that’s why my left side is the worst. Thank you!
Hi there, just wanted to see how the electrolysis journey is going? Did the rating go up a bit since this video? :)
I haven’t gone in about three months and Ive noticed the hairs are creeping back lol. I don’t think think the results are permanent.

are you going through electrolysis ?

After electrolysis how to remove pigments plz tell me
It’ll return over time. Use a scar fading/lightening cleanser and lotion. Vitamin c serums, lemon juice, chemical/acidic peels, etc.
Also sunscreen to reduce dark spots
I have no hormonal imbalances either it’s something called idiopathic hirsutism
