Electrolysis
Electrolysis (thermolysis) is a safe, proven method of permanent hair removal for most areas of the body. A trained and qualified electrologist inserts a small surgical-steel filament much like a needle into the hair follicle. Then a mild flow of current is released to seal off nourishment to the papilla. The released hair is then lifted from the follicle with forceps to leave smooth, hair free skin. The Blend method causes a chemical action in the papilla to destroy the hair root. Your electrologist will choose the most effective method for your treatment sessions.
It is not possible to entirely seal off the roots of all hairs in one treatment. There is re-growth and repeated and regular treatment is required. As treatment progresses the hair becomes weaker and finer. When electrolysis treatment is complete the base of the follicle no longer receives nutrients from its blood supply, therefore is incapable of ever producing a hair again.
For successful treatment…
- If you are using any temporary means of hair removal, we ask that you discontinue so that you may receive the full benefit from your treatment.
- Everything used in your treatment is thoroughly clean and sanitary. Please help your skin to heal by keeping hands and germ-laden objects off the treated area. Report any problems to your electrologist so we can adjust settings for your personalized treatment.
- Please do not over-expose your skin to strong sunlight for a few days after treatment. Keep the skin clean and follow your electrologist's instructions for skin care. Apply Aloe Vera Gel or Vitamin E cream to the treated areas.
- The more relaxed you are, the more you will enjoy treatment. May we suggest you try to arrive a few minutes before your appointment time, in order for you to become relaxed before treatment.
- Regular treatments are essential to complete removal of unwanted hair. If you are unable to keep an appointment please give us 24 hours notice and reschedule another appointment.
