What Is Permanent Hair Removal?
It seems pretty self-explanatory, permanent hair removal means that your unwanted hair is treated and never comes back ever, right???
Unfortunately not everyone has the same understanding of permanent hair removal as I do at Follikill. Far too often purveyors of permanent hair removal argue that permanently disabling a hair follicle takes time and multiple treatments. You might hear that the hair gradually breaks down over time and becomes weaker with successive treatments. While this idea isn’t completely false, it is possible to treat a hair follicle once using enough treatment energy to keep it from producing another hair. A higher first-time electrolysis kill rate means you spend less time and less money in pursuit of smooth, soft, stubble free skin anywhere on your face or body.
Permanent hair removal is a process that takes time and commitment. When you receive a permanent hair removal treatment it is impossible to have every active hair follicle treated in one session. There are most likely 3-4x the number of hairs beneath the surface of the skin that will emerge in the following 3-4 months (for some stragglers it could be as long as a year). Total treatment times vary according the area but expect to clear an area at least 3 times before you achieve truly permanent hair removal.
Permanent hair removal is undoubtedly an investment of both time and money. In my experience it is well worth it to get rid of the stubble on your chin or the razor bumps on your bikini line. Managing the problem yourself takes a significant amount of time on a daily basis, plus it is a never-ending process. If you choose your electrologist wisely, you could be on your way to your hair-free future today!
