The length of the electrology treatment session is directly related to the amount of hair that the client presents. If a woman is tweezing 5 hairs a day from her chin every day, then she is probably tweezing 35 hairs a week and 150 different hairs a month. Once tweezing has stopped for one month, her first treatment would be 15 to 30 minutes long, and if she can stand dealing with the hairs for one month, she would schedule her treatments monthly.
If that same woman were tweezing 50 hairs a day, every day, then she is probably tweezing 350 hairs a week and 1500 different hairs in a month. In this case, she would not want to wait one month – she would begin with weekly treatments that could last as long as an hour in the beginning. If a client continues to tweeze between treatments, then they are hiding the hair from the electrologist and are delaying the completion of their treatments. The treatments progress by an exponential reduction of hair, weekly treatments soon become bi-weekly, then every 3 weeks, then monthly.
As the treatments progress, there should be a noticeable reduction in the amount of hair growing. Usually, within 2 months of consistent treatments, the area being cleared has less hair. Subsequently, the amount of hair growing is reduced with time until treatments are on an “as needed” basis. As treatments progress on any area, the consistent clearing of the area is important.
