Electrolysis Is a 1–2 Year Journey (and Why It’s Worth It)

Foundational Topics

I know, 1–2 years sounds like a long time when you’re starting out. But here’s why electrolysis takes that amount of time — and why it’s worth every step.

  • Hair growth cycles: Only hairs in the active growth phase can be permanently destroyed. Since follicles are constantly rotating through stages, it takes time to catch them all.

  • Consistency is key: Weekly or bi-weekly sessions build momentum and reduce hairs as quickly as possible.

  • Hormonal influence: Especially for PCOS or other hormone-driven growth, regular treatments help keep up with new hairs that appear.

Think of it like orthodontics: braces don’t straighten your teeth overnight, but you start seeing progress long before the treatment is done. Most of my clients notice meaningful changes within months — smoother skin, less shaving, more confidence.

The journey may take 1–2 years, but the result — permanent, hair-free skin — is for life.
