Permanent Hair Removal With Electrolysis

| July 14, 2009

Unwanted hair is a problem for many men and women and the distress it can cause is vastly underestimated. More people have hair permanently removed by electrolysis than you can probably imagine.Electrolysis is the only medically approved method of permanent hair removal (approved by the British Medical Association). Electrolysis involves the insertion of a very fine probe (the same diameter as the hair) into the hair follicle. The insertion of this probe is not felt as the hair follicle is a natural opening in the skin – the probe is passed into the follicle and therefore does not pierce the skin. Heat, or a combination of heat and a tiny amount of galvanic current is then passed through the probe to seal off the blood supply to the hair at the root. The hair is then removed. Most hairs will need more than one treatment, but there will be a constant, gradual decrease in the growth of the hair until it has all been permanently removed.The amount of treatment required to achieve permanent removal of all the hair differs with each person, so most clinics offer a consultation free of charge and without obligation to have any treatment – just a chance to have electrolysis explained in detail.Will it hurt?Most people describe electrolysis as uncomfortable rather than painful. We feel it is best described as a sensation similar to tweezing a hair and hot at the same time. The area treated will feel quite warm for a short time after treatment.Is it safe?Yes, completely safe, and is approved by the medical profession. You should confirm:-(a) That your electrolysist uses sterile disposable probes, which are recommended by the Public Health Laboratory Service. You should have a brand new probe for each treatment.(b) That your electrolysist is a registered member of: The British Institute & Association of Electrolysis [B.I.A.E.]. – dont be afraid to ask to see certificates.How much does it cost?Prices range from approximately 18 – 25 for a 15 minute appointment, with an hour costing between 50 – 70. In the early stages frequency of treatment varies greatly with the individual and could be anything from 2-3 times per week to once every 8 weeks. At your consultation your electrolysist will be able to advise you on this.Why shouldn’t I use another method of hair removal?Nothing else is permanent – electrolysis is the only method of permanent hair removal. Other methods advertise as permanent, but the best they can do is reduce a hair growth – this includes laser. Some methods actually increase the growth over a period time. Companies which advertise permanent removal (but not by electrolysis) are gradually being identified by the Advertising Standards Authority and stopped from advertising permanency.Exploding some myths1. During electrolysis the client does not receive an ‘injection’ – the probe passes into the hair follicle which is a natural opening in the skin so you dont even feel it.2. There is no risk of scarring if the treatment is carried out correctly by a professionally qualified electrolysist.3. No hair growth is too extensive or too strong to be successfully treated by electrolysis.
