Understanding Dormant Follicles: Why Hair Appears After Months

INTRODUCTION
A lot of people still feel confused or irritated when their hair grows back months after it was taken, even after monthly treatments. People often inquire, “Why is my hair growing back?” or “Did the treatment work?” The most common explanation is that it is a natural biological process that involves hair follicles that are not currently growing.
We at Doreen Electrolysis Permanent Hair Removal Centre in Sharjah believe that understanding how hair grows will help you have realistic expectations and be happy with your permanent hair removal in the UAE.
1. What Are Dormant Hair Follicles?
Follicles that aren’t operating right now are called dormant follicles. They are under the skin, but they aren’t generating hair that can be seen on the surface. These follicles are normal and are part of how hair grows on the body.
Not all hair follicles generate hair at the same time. Some are active, but others stay hidden for weeks or even months at a time.
2. How Hair Grows Over Time
There are three basic phases of hair growth:
a. Anagen (the time when hair grows)
This is the time when hair is growing and is linked to the blood supply. This is the greatest time for electrolysis.
c. Catagen (the transition phase)
The blood supply stops developing hair and separates it.
c. Telogen (the resting phase)
The follicle ceases doing its job. The follicle is still alive under the skin, even though there is no hair on the surface.
Even after treating hairs that were already active, new hair can sprout months later because each follicle has its own cycle.
3. Why Hair Grows Back After Months
When hair comes back after a long time, it’s usually not new hair; it’s hair that was latent in follicles during prior sessions.
Some common reasons are:
✔ Dormant follicles starting to grow
✔ Hormonal changes waking up sleeping follicles
✔ Natural changes in hair cycles that happen at the same time
✔ Genetic patterns of hair growth
This is why you need to undergo more than one electrolysis treatment to see full and lasting results.
4. Follicles and hormones that are asleep
Hormones are highly vital for waking up dormant follicles, especially those on the face. PCOS, stress, menopause, pregnancy, or drugs can all make dormant follicles wake up.
This doesn’t mean that the treatment wasn’t effective. It only means that new follicles have started to work, and electrolysis could be able to get rid of them swiftly and easily.
5. What This Means for Getting Rid of Hair for Good
You need to know what dormant follicles are in order to trust the procedure of getting rid of hair for good in the UAE:
✔ Electrolysis only works on hairs that are visible and active
✔ Dormant follicles need to come to the surface before they can be treated
✔ Regular sessions make sure that all follicles are eventually targeted
✔ Results grow better as time goes on
We make sure that your treatment schedules at Doreen Electrolysis Hair Removal Centre match your hair growth cycles so that you can get safe, long-lasting results.
6. How long does it take to notice all the effects?
Because dormant follicles come out slowly, it takes more than one session to get rid of all your hair permanently. Most clients see a gradual decline over a few months, with slower, finer regrowth, and eventually permanent clearance after all the follicles have finished their cycles.
You need to be patient and keep going. The results will be worth it.
Final Thoughts
When hair starts to grow back after months, it’s not a setback. It’s just a normal element of how hair grows. It’s common for dormant follicles to wake up, and it’s not hard to cope with if you know how.
With the right scheduling, competent care, and skilled electrolysis, you may get rid of hair permanently in the UAE.
