Blend - combines both the above currents to destroy the hair
germinating cells. Currents may be utilized simultaneously or
sequentially.
Permanent hair removal is achieved by inducing a measured amount of
electrical current into the natural opening of the hair follicle using
an extremely fine filament/probe. The procedure causes gradual
destruction of the hair germinating cells, deteriorating the ability of
the follicle to produce a hair. Each hair is treated one at a time
allowing precise clearing and shaping of an area.
The success of electrolysis is accomplished in a series of
treatments. The time required to have permanent results varies from
person to person. It also depends on such factors as age, medical
history, previous temporary hair removal methods, texture of the hair
and the adherence to the treatment schedule set by the electrologist.
What Does Electrolysis Feel Like
The most common
descriptions of the sensation are "feels like a little pinch" or "it
feels warm". Every person has a different level of sensation to the
treatment. Certain areas of the face and body may feel the current a
little more or a little less. The electrologist will make every effort
to keep the patient as comfortable as possible while providing an
effective treatment.
Caffeine, sugar and salt may make the patient more sensitive to
a treatment. If possible try to avoid these items at least four hours
before a treatment. If a patient is treated near or during their period
or is under stress they may also experience more sensitivity.
Relaxation techniques, listening to music, cold cloths, etc. are
usually helpful in minimizing these factors.
