Does shaving make more hair grow?

No, it does not – it is a myth that has been around for a very long time. Your hair cycles stay the same. When we begin electrolysis with a shaved area, your hairs die faster than if you had previously done anything else. Waxing, threading, laser, or tweezing are less effective.

Areas of your face and body that have been shaved  require less time for the electrolysis treatment. If you shave before the electrolysis process, the hairs will die faster.

You may have certain hair types on your face such as vellus, light or dark coarse hairs. We recommended that you shave these first for faster electrolysis treatment results.
