Electrolysis Hair Removal

Electrolysis hair removal: If You Want To Permanently Get Rid Of Hair Then This Treatment Is For You

Electrolysis hair removal is one of the only hair removal methods that have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use as a permanent hair removal option. With Electrolysis you will not have to go in for multiple treatment sessions in order to make sure you get the best results. The only bad thing is that this method is not going to work one hundred percent of the time nor is it going to work for everyone.

How does Electrolysis work?

An electronic current is applied to different areas with a fine needle shaped electrode, or a metal probe in each hair follicle where the root is to be destroyed. There are three different types of electrolysis: galvanic, thermolysis, and blend.

You see, hair grows in different stages: growing, resting, and shedding. Seeing as how all hair will not be at the same stage of growth at a given time, multiple sessions might be required in order to get hair into the right growth phase at a certain time. In order for Electrolysis to be the most effective, hair must be in the growth phase, the same goes for treatments that involve the use of a laser.

Now there are a lot of pros to getting Electrolysis done. The first one would be the fact that it has a really good track record. Electrolysis is known to have really good results when compared to other methods. It gets rid of hair for a long time, and in a lot of cases for good.

Electrolysis can also be used with different skin types and hair types, there is no limitation. It does not target hair pigment like some methods do. Electrolysis just goes after hair follicles themselves. This is good news for people who might not be able to get laser treatments methods performed.

Now there are also a few cons to getting Electrolysis done. If a follicle becomes bent, then treatment can become tougher. Follicles being bent can happen because of other methods that were used in the past such as waxing and tweezing. In this case getting the needle to the root is going to be harder, making it more difficult to destroy the follicle.
Multiple sessions are also required in most cases. So you will need to make sure you are truly ready for this treatment. In some cases 15-30 sessions might be required.

With Electrolysis hair removal there is a chance that the skin can become discolored. In most cases this only happens when the treatment is carried out the wrong way. And if you are worried about the price, you should be. An average session costs about 50.00$ but the price can go higher depending on who you go to.

If you are going to have electrolysis hair removal done, you must also make sure you have a good tolerance for pain. The treatment can have a strong stinging sensation at times or a pricking sensation. Each hair follicle in a certain area will have to endure this.
