Electrolysis Treatment Plan

What Is An Electrolysis Treatment Plan

An electrolysis treatment plan is advice on when and for how long you should book your electrolysis appointments. Electrolysis treatment plans will give an estimate of the amount of time it will take to get your hair free. Each electrolysis treatment plan will be unique based on the amount of hair you have and the part of the body you are working on. What follows are some general guidelines to give you an idea of the time frame it will take to get you hair free.

Electrolysis Treatment Plan Guidelines

• Treatments will be more frequent in the first 3-4 months because a considerable amount of hair will emerge once you stop tweezing, waxing or shaving.
• In general, facial work needs attention every 10-14 days during the first 8-12 weeks of treatment. The first few months are the hardest but you will really start to see results at the 4-6 month mark (sometimes even less time). Less hair will be coming to the surface, your skin will look much better and you won’t be tempted to tweeze!
• After 4-6 months, appointments for facial hair should become less frequent and shorter in length due to the reduced growth of new hair.
• Treatment of body hair can be done in multi-hour appointments that cover large areas. It’s best to stop removing the hair a minimum of 2 weeks prior to treatment (a month is better), then we treat all visible hairs in the area and follow 2-3 months later with a second clearance. By the third clearance, there will be only sparse growth left.
• A full treatment schedule ends between 12-18 months after the first appointment provided you have kept regular appointments.  Only touch-ups of the odd hair will be necessary after this point.

The 12-18 months electrolysis treatment plan depends on the client’s full cooperation and commitment to achieving the best possible result. This means keeping regular appointments and following the advice of your electrologist on aftercare for the skin as well as your options for hair removal in between sessions. I’ve written more about this topic here.
