Besides the area there is also the matter of the density of hair. The denser the hair the more sessions you will need. Other factors that influence the cost of electrolysis are things like your age and also the type of electrolysis equipment and process that is followed. Though electrolysis works on a same basic principle not all equipment works the same way.
