Electrolysis is a hair removal process that works by inserting a
fine needle into the hair follicle, (the skin depression from
which the hair emerges), and disabling the hair root either by
heat or chemical action and sometimes both at the same time.
Each hair is treated individually.
Electrolysis is most suitable for removing female facial hair,
but it can be used on almost any part of the body. There are
millions of people who have solved the embarrassing problem of
excess hair with the help of the hair removal method of
electrolysis.
Electrolysis hair removal was developed around 1869 by an
ophthalmologist, a medical doctor specializing in the treatment
of diseases of the eye, Charles Michel, who sought a way to
safely and effectively remove ingrown eyelashes which frequently
caused blindness.
Electrolysis hair removal was adopted by the medical community
and then adapted as a treatment for excess hair removal on other
parts of the body. The same basic technique, improved and
modernized, has been used since those times.
Hundreds of scientific articles published in medical literature
state that hair removal by electrolysis is permanent. But -
There's also scientific evidence that regrowth can occur when a
new root cell is formed in the same area.
Hair removal by electrolysis should be performed at a reputable
clinic by a trained and state licensed electrologist.
Compared to other hair removal methods, electrolysis is time
consuming. Depending on how fast your hair grows, it usually
takes regular weekly or monthly visits for up to a year to
complete the process.
Hair removal by electrolysis is painful, even with a topical
anesthetic. Some describe it as a slight heat, tingling or
stinging sensation.
Don't hesitate to let your electrologist know if what you're
experiencing is uncomfortable. They're trained to work within
your comfort level. There are machine settings or the type of
treatment that can be adjusted.
There usually is some redness or swelling and occasionally some
pinpoint scabbing and even scarring following electrolysis hair removal. Ask your electrologist what you can do to
help the healing process.
And hair removal by electrolysis is expensive. Usually there's a
rate of $25 to $100 per hour. And if the procedure takes longer,
a lower hourly rate doesn't always mean a lower cost.
If you'd rather not endure the pain, time, cost, and possible
scarring of electrolysis, do some research to learn about
alternative hair removal methods.
