How Long Does Electrolysis Take to Remove Hair Permanently?
If you’re new to permanent hair removal, you’re probably wondering: how long does electrolysis take to get rid of unwanted hair? The answer depends on several factors. But one of the most important things to understand is this: electrolysis is a gradual process because each hair must be treated individually. So, how long does electrolysis take in total? That varies based on the treatment area, hair density, and hormonal conditions such as PCOS. Whatever your starting point, we’re here to guide you through every step.
How Long Does Electrolysis Take to Fully Remove Hair?
At Furless Permanent, our goal is to deliver safe, permanent results with every electrolysis session or ‘cleaning’ as we call them. The duration of each electrolysis session depends on the size and thickness of the area being treated. For example:
- Small areas like the upper lip or chin may take just 15–30 minutes
- Larger areas such as the legs or back can require 1–2 hours
Unlike laser, which targets groups of hair, electrolysis treats each follicle individually. Because hair grows in cycles, not all follicles are ready to be treated at once. This means you’ll need multiple sessions to achieve complete removal.
Most clients need up to 18 months of sessions depending on:
- Hair type and density
- Areas being treated
- Hormonal influences (e.g. PCOS or thyroid conditions)
Why Multiple Sessions Are Necessary
Hair doesn’t grow all at once. Some hairs are resting or shedding, while others are actively growing. Electrolysis only works on follicles in the active growth phase. That’s why electrolysis isn’t a one-time treatment. Electrolysis is a process with lifelong effect. Each follicle must be treated at the right moment in the cycle to ensure permanent destruction.
At Furless Permanent, we create a personalised treatment plan for every client. Our expert electrologists will assess your hair type, skin, and goals, then recommend a schedule that gives you the best long-term results.
