Some hairs will grow back after electrolysis. However, as you undergo more and more sessions, the number of hairs that grow back each time decreases. If the hair doesn't regrow after more than three months, it will never come back again.
You are born with the number of follicles you will always have. That cannot change. Modern Electrolysis has a 70% kill rate for a hair follicle, any follicle killed dies permanently and will never regrow hair.
Properly grounding and isolating dissimilar metals can help prevent the formation of galvanic cells. Use insulating gaskets, coatings, or rubber isolators to separate metals and minimize direct contact. Consider adding electrolysis inhibitors to your cooling system.
Is electrolysis permanent? Yes, electrolysis safely and permanently removes hair from all skin tones. It is the only FDA-approved permanent hair removal treatment. Because electrolysis permanently destroys the growth cells in the hair follicles, the hair will not grow back.

Incomplete Follicle Destruction: In some cases, the hair follicle might not be fully destroyed during treatment. This leads to true regrowth, where the follicle can still produce new hair. If this happens, the hair will need to be treated again.
Chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatments: If you are undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy, electrolysis is not recommended. These treatments weaken the immune system and increase the risk of infection. Pregnant women: Electrolysis is not recommended during pregnancy.
The FDA and the American Medical Association recognize only electrolysis as a permanent method of removing hair.
Things like, if it is full body electrolysis hair removal or just a part thereof, the volume of hair to be removed, the number of sessions required, etc. affect the total cost. The price for this treatment varies from INR 2,500 to INR 4,000 per session.
Cons: After shaving, the hair will start to grow back with a blunt tip, which makes it look more noticeable than naturally tapered hair growing in.

+ BETWEEN ELECTROLYSIS SESSIONS
After you have begun your Electrolysis treatment do not puck, tweeze or wax the area being treated. These methods of temporary hair removal will undo the work that had been done and may stimulate more hair growth.
