If you choose to have electrolysis, then you must discontinue any method of temporary removal for about a week and resort to clipping the hairs until two days before treatment. If you’re waxing, threading and plucking it is advisable to stop immediately as they work in direct opposition to electrolysis and cause hair to grow out courser, darker and distorts the follicle. These methods can also cause fine vellus (about 1mm long) hairs to become course terminal hair. With electrolysis, closely spaced treatments are necessary to treat the emerging hairs. As the hair growth lessens, the treatments get shorter and farther apart until the hairs no longer regrow.
