How To Use Electrolysis For Unwanted Hair

Introduction

This technique of hair electrolysis is a lot more effective as compared to threading and waxing of the hair. It is also preferred over usage of razors and other hair removing products such as hair removing creams. The basic principal of hair electrolysis involves the use of an electric current. A very thin needle is used to apply this current into each of the hair follicle present in that area of skin going under electrolysis. This current travels into the hair follicle and destroys the root of the hair.

Step 1

Basically there are three hair electrolysis types namely; galvanic, thermolysis and blend. In Galvanic method the basic principle is applied but this causes a difference in the salt and water concentration and usually DC current is applied. Thermolysis involves the production of heat with the help of radio or high frequency AC current. Blend is a combo of both AC and DC current methods so that both chemical and thermal effect takes place side by side.

Step 2

To understand the concept of hair electrolysis it is very important to understand the mechanism of hair growth. A hair strand grows in three basic steps; number one, the growing stage then the resting and lastly the shedding stage. During electrolysis each hair of a particular area of the skin isn’t in the same stage of growing as another hair of that area, thus multiple sittings are needed for an effective, permanent, and long lasting effect.

Step 3

There are no permanent side effects of the treatment, but care should be taken as different people with different types of skins respond to the hair electrolysis in their own unique way. Mostly people complain about the redness of the skin after exposure to sun light thus care should be taken not to expose the skin to sunlight too often. The skin might even get discolored.

Step 4

Some of the undeniable advantages of hair Electrolysis involve the fact that hair growth in some cases is completely hindered forever. One doesn’t have to undergo painful waxing and threading sessions. Electrolysis has as yet the best results as compared to other hair removing treatments. And most importantly it can be used for different skin types. In laser treatment the skin pigment is also targeted, this isn’t the case in hair electrolysis thus it can be used for a huge range of different skin types.

Step 5

Then comes the part when you have to choose a professional to make you undergo the process of hair electrolysis. Several factors are taken into consideration. Firstly, one should be well aware of the qualifications of the electrologist, one should also do a survey of the area from where he or she is going to get the electrolysis done. It is always good to ask around for different opinions.

Tips

In order to get a successful hair electrolysis treatment, one should be very sure of the clinic that one is going to go to for the procedure. It should be clean, the overall environment should be comfortable and most importantly, the patient should meet the electrologist prior to the treatment so that he or she explains to the patient what the procedure will be like.
