Hair Growth Cycle

While it is guaranteed that each hair follicle that has been properly treated will not regrow hair, there are hundreds of hair follicles that are not always visible about the epidermis. These follicles are in a dormant stage of growth. Throughout treatment, it is asked of each client to shave or trim their visible hair (not pluck, wax or depilate) so that the operator may see each hair in its active cycle.

On average, the process of permanent hair removal takes around 18 months to complete for the client who demonstrates weekly consistence in receiving treatment.

The process of clearing an area takes roughly 16 weeks (sometimes 12 weeks, sometimes 24 weeks) depending on the area and hormonal activity within each individual. This is a period that will activate dormant follicles due to nutritional distribution activity through the blood as dormant follicles are stimulated.

Once an area is cleared, the next 16 week period is utilized for clearing any regrowth and new active follicles. A successful treatment is considered any area where 40%-60% of hair follicles are successfully destroyed. This is given to human error as the operator cannot see the follicles being destroyed beneath the skin, only understand their direction of growth and depth in which to insert for true destruction.

In the final 16 week period of a client who has faithfully committed to a weekly routine, the hair is very sparse as majority of the follicles have successfully been treated. Random spurts of hormones may activate further dormant follicles, in which case a spontaneous appointment to clear those follicles may be made.
