Permanent Hair Removal With Electrolysis

Nataly | 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.

Brazilian Hair Straightening System Naturally Straightens Your Hair With Keratin

Nataly | June 8, 2009

The Brazilian hair straightening treatment is neither a relaxer nor a permanent straightening system; instead it naturally straightens your hair. One thing that makes this treatment stand out from others however is the fact that you can have the treatment done regardless of what your hair type is and regardless of what condition your locks are currently in.With other similar treatments you are unable to have them performed if you have, for example bleached hair as your locks are considered to be too damaged to have any further chemicals added, with the Brazilian straightening system however there are no chemicals involved meaning even if you have bleached, coloured or afro hair you will be able to have this treatment applied. In fact the more damaged your locks are the better the treatment will work.The technology surrounding hair care products is something that is continually getting better each day. This is clear from the fact that what seemed impossible a few years ago is now a reality. For example now months or even years worth of damage to your hair can be recovered in a matter of days thanks to technology such as this straightening treatment.This treatment doesn’t use harsh chemicals on your locks. The way that this system works is by using something called keratin. Your locks are comprised of about 88% keratin, which is why this treatment is so natural. The keratin penetrates the hair, which repairs internal damage and coats your hair to prevent further damage. This creates results that are smooth, silky and straight. The treatment doesn’t involve chemicals that reconstruct your locks, instead the keratin replenishes and reconditions while protecting the hair from water and heat damage and enhancing shine.Due to the fact that the Brazilian straightening system produces a coating over the hair, there are certain aspects that you can’t do for at least four days after as these things would break the coating, which would cause the treatment to fail. Dont wash your hair, tie it back or use clips. Don’t pull it behind your ears, exercise or use hair bands. It is also important that you don’t use glasses to hold your locks back or use hairsprays, gel or mousse.Thanks to the overwhelming interest from a number of celebrities the Brazilian straightening system is now available at the Inanch London salon. It is not something that is limited; anyone can get this treatment done.So if you are sick of the daily fights with your hair in order to get it looking half decent; get yourself to Inanch London today and get your appointment booked for the Brazilian straightening system now and start to see the results immediately.
