Electrolysis can be time consuming and expensive. In order to achieve permanent hair removal from a forearm, it may take weekly sessions for about one year. Since hair cycles between active and resting stages, hair from the forearm can be removed in about two months with 8 sessions of electrolysis. Thereafter, when the next wave of resting hairs becomes active, the new active hairs must be treated. The cost of electrolysis ranges between $25 to $150 per hour. At $50 per hour, it would cost approximately $2,500 to achieve permanent hair removal from a single forearm.
