There are simply too many complicated factors in play for us to be able to say for certain. These factors include the size of the area you want cleared, the density of hairs, the type of hair, hormonal factors, length/regularity of treatments, and the fact that only a percentage of the body’s hair follicle’s are currently active at a given time. Regardless, electrolysis is a long process that requires multiple appointments to clear an area of hair. It could take anywhere from a few months to several years, depending on your individual conditions and goals.
