Are you tired of shaving, waxing and plucking unwanted hairs? Electrolysis could be the perfect beauty investment option. Electrolysis is the only permanent hair removal method.
After treatment, redness and swelling will appear immediately; this usually resolves within hours. Scabs may form, which should not be picked at or scratched off as this could aggravate their condition further.
How many sessions do I need on my face?
Permanent hair removal varies with every individual; how many sessions will depend on factors like hair growth rate, thickness, color and location of unwanted follicles.
Electrolysis offers the safest and most permanent way to rid oneself of unwanted hairs; this noninvasive method safely destroys both root and follicle to permanently rid any unwanted strand. Electrolysis works on all skin and hair types alike – including dark or light hairs on fair to dark complexions.
Electrolysis involves inserting a needle into the opening of a hair follicle and administering an electric current that triggers an electrolysis device’s tiny impulse to cause a chemical reaction that destroys its ability to produce new hairs. A trained electrologist may repeat the procedure multiple times to ensure complete destruction of all potential hair-bearing cells.
Electrolysis treatment may feel slightly uncomfortable at first; however, any pain will quickly subside since your area will be treated with topical anesthetic beforehand.
Skilled practitioners understand the optimal current to use to trigger chemical reactions without harming skin cells. Furthermore, it’s crucial that you follow your electrologist’s guidelines for pre-treatment care such as refraining from caffeine two hours before your appointment and trimming any body or facial hair at least 1/4″ long using scissors or bikini trimmer.
After electrolysis, your skin may appear red or pink with slight swelling and/or welting – this is completely normal. Some individuals may develop small reddish-brown pinprick scabs; these are part of the healing process and won’t harm your skin; however, picking at them or scratching can cause hyperpigmentation (freckles). Most pain associated with treatments is temporary.
How many sessions do I need on my back?
Electrolysis hair removal sessions depend on several variables, including your hair thickness and density, pain tolerance, and hair growth rate. After each treatment session, hair growth should significantly diminish and an electrologist will give an estimated number of sessions needed to achieve your desired results.
Electrolysis comes in various forms, with galvanic electrolysis being the most widely practiced. To perform this procedure, a needle is inserted into each hair follicle to deliver an electric current and cause chemical reaction that destroys it – thus no longer permitting hair growth to happen. Electrolysis works on all types of hair and skin colors, and is considered permanent hair removal method.
Electrolysis may not be painful as some might imagine; however, it can still be uncomfortable. To help alleviate discomfort during their appointment, clients can apply a numbing cream an hour beforehand at home – these come both in cream and gel form and should be applied directly onto the area being treated. For optimal results, clients should follow advice given by their electrologist regarding which cream/gel to use and how best to apply it.
Electrolysis may cause redness or swelling due to irritation of hair follicles. To mitigate this side effect, avoid squeezing or rubbing the area, using over-the-counter pain relievers without first consulting your practitioner, shaving, tweezing or waxing until healing has taken place.
How many sessions do I need on my chest?
Electrolysis is the best permanent hair removal option available today, as it treats the root of the unwanted hair follicle to stop further growth. Other methods, like laser and waxing, only remove its shaft, making them only temporary solutions.
Electrolysis treatments depend on how thick and dense your unwanted hair is; generally speaking, eight-12 sessions should suffice to clear an area on either the face or body of unwanted hair. Though it may take time, keep in mind that electrolysis is a permanent solution and once removed will no longer return.
At an electrolysis session, your electrologist will insert a thin probe into each individual unwanted hair follicle and use electrical current to break its ability to produce further hair growth.
Most individuals may experience some degree of discomfort during an electrolysis treatment; the exact level may differ depending on your skin type. Electrolysis treatments are considered safe and effective for all skin types.
After each electrolysis treatment, there will likely be redness and swelling that lasts 1-2 days depending on your skin sensitivity. We advise our clients to use soothing cream or an ice pack on the treated area, and apply triple antibiotic ointment on any inflamed spots to expedite healing processes and hasten recovery.
Be mindful that it’s essential to your electrolysis success to remain regular with appointments; failure to do so could result in the hair regrowing and another treatment cycle will need to begin again.
How many sessions do I need on my arms?
Electrolysis is a highly effective and long-term hair removal option, though it requires multiple sessions as every follicle needs to be targeted multiple times for permanent destruction. On average, areas typically need eight-12 sessions before all their hair has been completely cleared off; depending on how dense and thick your hair is. Committing yourself to your electrologist’s schedule will help achieve better results more quickly.
Electrolysis involves inserting a needle into each hair follicle, where it heats up and destroys its root, stopping further growth of hair follicles. Though the treatment can be uncomfortable, we offer topical anaesthetic to keep you comfortable during each treatment session – your pain tolerance plays a big part in how much discomfort is felt during treatment sessions.
Electrolysis may be uncomfortable, but there’s no permanent scarring or discoloration with electrolysis treatment. It is safe and effective for all skin types – even very dark hairs which lasers cannot reach – making electrolysis an ideal long-term hair removal method compared to shaving, waxing or depilatories which often result in regrowth after each session.
Electrolysis may result in some blisters that should fade within three days; it’s important to avoid picking at these micro scabs as doing so could cause scarring. Also, some individuals may develop hyperpigmentation (blotchy patches of darker or lighter toned skin) which is rare, yet something to keep an eye out for.
How many sessions do I need on my legs?
Electrolysis hair removal is the only truly permanent way of eliminating unwanted hair on all skin tones. Electrologists insert a small probe into each opening of a hair follicle and heat it with an electrical impulse in order to destroy its ability to grow hairs, eventually stopping their ability altogether. Treatment typically entails treating individual strands only during their growth phase – although it can take quite some time and persistence, once complete you will have permanently reduced hair growth!
As part of your electrolysis treatments, it’s normal to experience redness and swelling at the site being treated. This side effect of electrolysis won’t last too long depending on your skin sensitivity; we suggest applying a cold compress after every session to relieve discomfort and redness; topical anesthetics may also help lessen discomfort further.
Your body may form reddish brown pinprick scabs after treatment, but these should not be considered scars and should not cause concern. Scabs result from damaged hair follicles healing themselves naturally and are quite common, particularly for Galvanic electrolysis treatments which are more painful. These should typically only last no more than a week before dissolving on their own.
Electrolysis may take more time and effort than laser hair removal, but its results are far superior and long-term. Electrolysis targets the root of each unwanted hair which makes it so effective; furthermore, its costs are very reasonable considering all that work it will do on your body and the lasting benefits it will give.
