What is
Electrolysis?
Electrolysis is a method of permanent hair removal, which was first
introduced in 1875. Through advancements and refinements in equipment
and techniques, electrology has become an affordable option for
individuals seeking a practical solution to unwanted hair.
How does
Electrolysis work?
A trained electrologist inserts a small metal probe into the
hair follicle alongside the hair. A small amount of electrical current
is then delivered to the probe by a sensitive electronic device called
an epilator. Depending on the method used, the electric current
destroys the hair root either by heat or chemical action or in some
methods by both at the same time.
What are the different methods of
Electrolysis?
There are three recognized modalities (methods) of Electrolysis.
GALVANIC (direct current) electrolysis – the hair is destroyed by
chemical action. THERMOLYSIS (high frequency) electrolysis – the hair
root is destroyed by heat production. BLEND electrolysis – a
combination of the two modalities where the hair root is destroyed by
both heat and chemical action at the same time. All three modalities
are safe and effective.
Is
Electrolysis permanent?
Electrolysis has been shown to be permanent in over a century of
use. Its permanency has been well recognized by knowledgeable
physicians and is also testified to by hundreds of scientific articles
published in medical literature. In addition to scientific
recognition, there are over one million happy and satisfied persons who
have solved a very personal and embarrassing problem with the help of
electrolysis.
Is
Electrolysis painful?
Whether there is any discomfort during electrolysis varies
depending on a client’s tolerance, machine settings, modality used, as
well as other factors. During most treatments a definite sensation
should be noticed. It has been described as a “slight heat”,
“tingling”, or “stinging” sensation. For those finding
treatment too uncomfortable, there is an over the counter topical
anesthetic cream available.
How long does
Electrolysis take to achieve permanency?
Electrolysis takes a series of treatments given over a
period of time. The length of time varies from person to person and is
dependent on many factors. The density and coarseness of the hair, as
well as the total area to be treated, are very important. How well you
tolerate treatments and the consistency of the treatments affect the
overall success. The cause of the unwanted hair and the temporary
methods of dealing with the hair in the past are also involved in the
treatment time. Treatments will be more frequent in the beginning and
less frequent later on.
Is
Electrolysis safe?
Electrolysis has a 120-year history of safety and
effectiveness. We utilize the most up-to-date effective methods of
sterilization, disinfection and antisepsis.
