question about hair thinning

Hair Removal Methods Professional Electrolysis
1

I have a question I have been cracking my brains about…(I posted this question in another section but didn’t seem to get an answer there…So sorry for the double post).

I have noticed, like many electrologists say, that hairs that have been treated and do come back, come back much thinner in many occasions…(my electrologist treated me in the genital area)
I have noticed that…I have been treated 6 times over a period of 8 months. What I noticed was that the first time it seemed almost everything came back…And later on all appeared back thinner.
My hairs started out as thick black trees of terminal hairs…And eventually they became thinner. And after that I couldn’t see anything anymore… Now I think 80-90% is gone…

Now I have seen under 8 diopter magnification that one of the parts where I had very dense growth of thick black terminal hairs there is almost nothing left but very VERY fine blonde vellus hairs impossible to see with the naked eye without magnification.
What does this reducement mean? How is it possible to kick big black trees of black hair back into superfine blonde vellus hair?
Is it because the bulb has been damaged so that it has too little blood to feed the hair?
So the question is: why is it still active after being treated? But with MUCH thinner hairs? Is this because of damage?
And what are your experiences with it? Can a damaged one regenerate itself? Because then it seems useless…

any pro’s that know an answer?

Repeated electrolysis treatments, results in progressively finer regrowth and what you are seeing is hair that has almost given up. On body hair, these can be left and considered fully treated. On the face, it is important to be more fastidious, as growth there is more hormonally determined. They could be developing regrowths, you will know if they get longer soon. Keep us informed.

I understand you mean new active follicles by developing regrowths?
In my case it is body hair…
But what I want to know is if the partial destruction of the follicle through electrolysis, what makes the hair soooo thin, is permanent instead of the hair becoming a thick fat one again…And then I do not mean a new developing hair but the treated follicle…

I would consider the hairs you describe to be fully treated, as long as they stay at this length. If they lengthen soon, then are are regrowyhs.

thanks for your answers…
What do you mean by regrowths? New follicles that were dormant before?

And could you please answer the question if the partial destruction is permanent?

In many cases, the removal of the treated hairs leaves finer hairs behind that no one noticed previously, due to all the attention the big fatties got. In other cases, the large hairs do regrow a year later in a finer lighter form. In either event, the hairs should not darken, or thicken, or grow longer if one does not have anything that is causing these things to happen (like hormonal problems, onset of diabetes, side effects of drugs).

Coconnell, if an electrologist is performing their job correctly, what % of a client’s hair should be regrowth at any one session?

Candela, that is a loaded question, and depends on many factors. The electrolysis modality being used, the strength ,and colour of the hair being treated. As a general rule when regrowth begins, for example with facial hair this generally happens after six weeks, previously coarse hair should feel soft and look much finer. On the other hand, if I am treating an upper lip,that has never been mechanically interfered with ,(tweezed or waxed) I could instantly have a huge reduction - up to 40 or even 50%.
