Electrolysis is permanent hair removal that has been around since 1875
Hair Removal In Action
The Only Permanent Way!
Electrolysis is the only method of permanent hair removal approved by the FDA.
It is important for you to know why electrology may take several treatments and why some of the treated follicles will regrow hair. For permanent hair removal, it is necessary for the tip of the probe to reach the bottom of the follicle where the current destroys the hair root.
Curved or distorted follicles may prevent accurate insertions and hair regrowth should be expected. Re-treatment of these follicles will eventually succeed in reaching and destroying the hair root. Also, very large, deep-rooted hairs might take several treatments to avoid the possibility of destroying too much skin tissue at one time. Finally, many hairs that appear to be regrowth are actually from follicles that have not been treated before! Each follicle has a unique growth cycle.
A hair begins to grow, reaches its maximum size, then, after a period of time, it sheds and will eventually be replaced by another hair. Because of this growth cycle, a percentage of follicles will be empty. These temporarily dormant follicles will soon produce hairs. These new hairs are not regrowth of treated follicles. As you can see, many factors influence hair growth.
Continuous and frequent treatments are necessary for permanent results. The number of sessions will vary for each person, but the unwanted hair will be gone forever when the treatments are completed.
A Current By Any Other Name Over a hundred years ago, Charles E. Michel, M.D. discovered a highly effective way to permanently remove unwanted hair by using a needle attached to a dry cell battery. Since its discovery in 1875, modifications and refinements have been made to what we now call electrology.
The Science Behind Electrolysis
A small electric current is transmitted by a fine, sterile probe directly into the natural opening of the hair follicle. A quick, computer-controlled current is then applied to destroy the hair growth cells including the dermal papilla, the matrix, and an area called "the bulge," all of which cause hair to grow and regenerate.
There are three types, or modalities, of electrolysis used today: galvanic (current produces a chemical reaction), thermolysis (short-wave which produces heat), and a modality that blends the two. They all result in effective permanent hair removal. At Unique Spa Services & Hair Today Gone Tomorrow Electrolysis, we use the thermolysis method of electrolysis.
Will it work for me?
Maybe it's just an unwelcome maintenance routine that takes a lot of time, but often, unwanted hair creates self-consciousness serious enough to impair relationships with other people. If unwanted hair gets in the way of your confidence, social life, work, sports, schedules, or even self-expression, this is your opportunity to act. Electrolysis is the only method approved by the FDA for permanent removal of unwanted hair. As the hair is treated, regrowth is prevented rather than just removed temporarily. Only electrolysis provides both hair removal and hair elimination. Best of all, unlike lasers and other methods, electrolysis is effective for all skin types, hair types, skin colors, hair colors, and areas of the body.
There are three modalities that can be used to permanently remove hair.
The type technician’s use depends on their education, background, and philosophy. Thermolysis (short wave, high frequency or flash, our preferred method) – creates friction, causing heat which destroys the hair growth cells. Galvanic (electrolysis) – creates a chemical reaction within the follicle and destroys the follicles chemically. Blend – This is the method both the thermolysis and galvanic currents simultaneously. As long as the electrologist is using a Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approved machine that employs a probe, the hair can be permanently removed.
How Electrolysis Works
We use specialized Apilus equipment and well-trained skills to remove unwanted hair. An extremely fine probe is inserted into the follicle alongside the hair and a slight amount of electric current and heat destroys the hair root. A treated hair will slide out with no sensation of being tweezed. You will feel a slight heat or tingling sensation. After treatment, there may be some redness and/or swelling, but this disappears within an hour or so. Tiny, pinpoint eschars (scabs) may appear in a day or two. This is your body’s natural healing process and should be of no concern.
For 24 hours after an electrolysis treatment, you should keep the area clean by using an antiseptic to prevent irritation or infection. It is also recommended that you avoid the sun while receiving electrolysis treatments.
It is always important to follow your electrologist’s after-care instructions.
Are there any side effects?
Permanent hair removal using electrolysis has come a long way since its beginnings in 1875 and its increase in popularity during your parents' generation. Today's computer technology enables the electrologist to work with more speed and comfort. Epilators are much quicker, utilizing current timings of thousandths of a second over the longer current applications of the past. Plus, intensity settings can now be modulated to varying proportions. The instruments and equipment used in a contemporary electrologist's office are just part of the changes that have occurred in the electrolysis industry.
Immediately following treatment, there may be a temporary redness or tenderness, which varies with each individual. The latest technology has made electrolysis more comfortable and effective than ever before. Our team will give you post-treatment instructions and any personal attention you may need.
Where is electrolysis effective?
Electrolysis is an incredibly versatile option that can effectively target some of the most troublesome problem areas. No matter where your unwanted hair is, electrolysis can help you remove it for good. Electrolysis is commonly used for:
- Facial hair removal
- Arm hair removal
- Back hair removal
- Leg hair removal
- Bikini hair removal
The pictures below outline other popular areas where electrolysis is used on both men and women.
Anesthetic Injections
Local anesthesia is the process of numbing an area of the body to make the patient more comfortable during a procedure. The anesthesia medicine is used to avoid pain during the electrolysis process. If you’re worried about having discomfort during your electrolysis appointment, you can rest assured that when you set an appointment for anesthetic injection prior to your electrolysis appointment, that you will minimize your discomfort. This will allow you to complete your anticipated hair removal treatment with no discomfort.
