We all want to feel good about our appearance, but sometimes it’s difficult to be positive when we know there are things about us that we would like to change. Unwanted hair, whether a cosmetic problem or a symptom of disease, can cause embarrassment or totally alter the way in which your life is conducted. If excess hair is one problem area you‘d like to eliminate, electrolysis (permanent hair removal) can help you do just that.
Temporary methods such as shaving, tweezing, depilatories, waxing, threading, abrading and laser require lifetime maintenance and can cost many times more than successful electrolysis treatment in the first place. Many times, skin irritations, ingrown hairs, discoloration and scarring may result from these temporary methods. Plus, these methods can actually contribute to an increase in hair growth activity. And despite the claims made about many other “advanced” methods on the market today, not one has proven to be as effective as electrolysis. With many methods of hair removal on the market today, one fact is clear that electrolysis, developed over one hundred years ago by an ophthalmologist, still remains the only proven method of permanent hair removal in the 21st Century.
The price of electrolysis is comparable to what you'd spend for a lifetime of professional waxing... or less.
Today’s electrolysis is performed by well-qualified practitioners taking advantage of new technologies using state-of-the-art computerized equipment and practicing up-to-date sterilization procedures and National Infection Control Standards.
Electrolysis encompasses three methods:
· Electrolysis- Direct current (DC) or Galvanic
· Thermolysis- Alternating current (AC) or High/Radio Frequency
· The Blend- Both of the above currents.
The electrologist uses a single-use disposable fine needle or wire probe, which is slipped into the targeted hair follicle next to the hair like a finger in a glove, to apply a measured amount of electricity to the base of the hair follicle in order to destroy the cells which produce the growing hair.
Each hair follicle is an intricate and amazing creation, equipped with its own network of nerve endings, capillaries, sebaceous (oil) glands and a muscle which gives us “goose bumps.” When treating the follicle, it is important to use enough current and time to make sure that no basal cells (where the hair originates) remain.
If so, that amazing hair follicle can utilize the body’s incredible healing power to recreate itself and grow another hair. Another plus with electrolysis: if your facial hair is accompanied by acne, treatment can also reduce the severity of acne as it destroys the sebaceous glands attached to the targeted follicles.
This procedure will eliminate your unwanted hair and, in the process, give you a new self-confidence. Electrolysis can change your life in a positive way. Whether you are a man who wants to achieve the well-groomed and confident look you deserve,
a teen who needs a new smooth, clean and hair-free image to help you feel better about yourself, or a woman who yearns for glowing and healthy-looking skin allowing your natural beauty to shine beyond face value, let Electrolysis work for you.
In the hands of a skilled hair removal professional, you will receive the personal attention you deserve in a discreet and comfortable atmosphere, and one day, free from that troublesome unwanted hair!
