Electrolysis Hair Removal
Electrolysis hair removal is the only system that can really
claim to be permanent. Even this though is dependent on the expertise of the
electroligist and the equipment used.
That said there are reports giving
consumer satisfaction of permanency at over 90%. Using electrolysis for hair removal has a long and successful record dating back to the first treatments in 1875. Naturally many advances have been made since then, not least the computerization of the power and heat of the probe. The basic method of Electrolysis is that of a very fine wire probe being inserted into the hair follicle down to its base. (Dermal papilla) An electrical charge is sent down the wire to melt the end of the hair, thus preventing re-growth. The hair is then removed with tweezers.
There are four different methods within the electrolysis hair removal system, these are: Galvanic. the original method of electrolysis hair removal and still considered the best by many even though it may take longer. It uses the salt and moisture in the hair to create an electrolysis reaction that produces the chemical sodium hydroxide or lye. Being caustic this solution then dissolves the dermal papilla.
High Frequency or Thermolysis. In this case the high frequency charge causes the cells within the follicles to vibrate, this causes friction that turns to heat, and the heat kills the derma papilla.
The Blend of electrolysis hair removal is just that, combining the heat of high frequency, with the lye solution of the galvanic system, greater efficiency of the caustic solution is achieved, thus enabling the treatment of deep, coarse and curly hair.
Tweezer Electrolysis is a relatively new process that does not require the use of the probe. It still uses the Galvanic system of destroying the dermal papilla, but this is achieved by putting a conducting gel on the treatment area then holding the hair in electric tweezers. The current is sent down the outside of the hair follicle where it will penetrate and kill the dermal papilla. This method of electrolysis removal is less painful and time consuming so demand is growing.
As can be imagined there are a lot of variables in these methods of hair removal, so it is paramount to find the best operators using the finest equipment to give yourself the best chance at permanent hair removal. It can also be seen that this, by it’s very nature of one hair at a time will be a very time consuming and therefore expensive operation With electrolysis, the skin and hair type will determine the number of treatments required, and it is obvious that these methods are best suited to small areas of hair removal such as eyebrows and upper lip. A topical anesthetic may be applied to the treated area to help with discomfort. After procedure care is important and you should be provided with a guide at the end of your first treatment.
The Electrolysis method of hair removal
You will have more idea of what is involved if you have had professional electrolysis hair removal treatment, though the equipment and method are not quite the same. Care is needed to guard against infection and skin burn.
If used for small areas electrolysis hair removal is not overly expensive and performed by a professional it is not painful, and electrolysis hair removal is the only truly permanent hair removal system in existence today. Written by Trish Powell
