But in general for larger areas such as backs, legs, and bikini hair, clients new to electrolysis, can expect multiple sessions that can last the better part of an hour at first. As the treatments progress the time will decrease until the unwanted hair is completely gone. For facial hair removal, the smaller areas such as lips, brows, and chins treatments usually start with shorter times. For some clients, they may return once or twice a year for a time to get a 5 or 10 minute session to remove a few stray hairs. For most any hair you want removed a treatment plan can be outlined that will make you feel comfortable before we begin.
