What might indicate that hair is not responding to electrolysis treatment?

Persistent hair growth in the same area strongly indicates that hair is not responding to electrolysis treatment. This lack of response can suggest that the hair follicle is not being effectively destroyed by the electrolysis process. Effective electrolysis typically results in the gradual cessation of hair growth in treated areas as the follicle's ability to produce hair is compromised. If hair continues to grow despite multiple treatments, it may signal that the technique, settings, or even the individual hair's characteristics are not being effectively addressed.

Complete hair loss is generally a sign that the treatment is successful, as is immediate skin irritation, which may occur due to the process itself but doesn't indicate treatment failure. Numbness in the treated area, while noteworthy, does not directly correlate with the effectiveness of hair removal. Instead, it might suggest a different kind of response to the treatment or be an effect of the method used, rather than the efficacy of the electrolysis procedure on the hair follicle itself.
