General Info
ElectrolysisWhat Is Electrolysis?Is a safe, effective method of permanent hair removal recognized by the American Medical Association (AMA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), as the only method of permanent hair removal. The term Electrolysis is used to refer to 3 slightly different methods of permanent hair removal. All of which use a wire type probe.Galvanic Electrolysis - Direct current (DC) is used to create a chemical destruction by producing lye (sodium hydroxide), which destroys the hair cells. This takes longer per treatment.Thermolysis Electrolysis - Alternation current (AC) is heat destruction concentrated mostly at the tip of the probe, which destroys the hair cells. A radio frequency is used to create this. This is the method we use all the time. It is faster than Galvanic and the Blend and in our opinion less toxic (see below for details) to the body. Great results are achieved with this method and it takes a shorter amount of time per treatment.The Blend - A combination action of both (DC and AC) at the same time, which creates a dual action destroying the hair cells. This takes longer per treatment.In each of these methods a fine, sterile probe often referred to as a needle is inserted alongside the hair in the follicle opening. A probe is different from a needle in that it is a solid wire (it is not hollow as a needle). A radio frequency is then applied to destroy the derma papilla and germ cells of each individual hair that control the development of that hair. The Electrologist then slides the hair out of the follicle. Once these hair cells are destroyed completely, the hair will not grow back from that follicle. The body will be unable to regenerate hair in that follicle. A topical anesthetic can be applied for comfort and can take several treatments.The most common areas to be treated are the Upper Lip, Chin, Eyebrows, Sideburns, Neck, Breasts, Nose, Ears, Abdomen, Toes and Fingers.Why does it take so long for the hair to stop growing?With every treatment, the hair will become finer and weaker. When you remove the hair, you must then wait for it to grow back again before you can re-treat it. The normal growth cycle varies with each individual hair. This could take anywhere from one week to several months.Not only does tweezing, waxing and other temporary removal methods increase the depth, strength and coarseness of the hair, but it also distorts or bends the hair follicle making it more difficult for the Electrologist to treat. The treatments will help the hair follicle to straighten thereby making it easier to treat. The closer and more exact the Electrologist's insertions can come to the base of the root of the hair, the greater the chances are that the Electrologist will be able to destroy the hair and its germ cells.
