Removing unwanted hair growth can be a real hassle. Unwanted hair growth can occur as a result of multiple factors, and women often struggle to find a reliable and lasting solution. Whether you have unwanted or excessive hair growth on the face, arms, legs, back, or other sensitive areas of the body, temporary solutions such as laser hair removal and waxing can be quite costly and time-consuming. That’s where electrolysis comes in. It’s the only FDA-approved permanent hair removal solution that is versatile and highly effective for women, men, and transgender individuals. In this article, we will discuss the benefits of electrolysis hair removal for women.
What is Electrolysis?
Electrolysis is the only permanent solution to unwanted hair growth, as well as the only FDA-approved permanent hair removal technique. This method works by inserting a hair-thin probe at the base of each individual hair follicle and delivering a tiny electrical current through it. This creates a chemical reaction that permanently eliminates the stem cells responsible for hair growth, ensuring that each treated hair follicle will never produce hair again. What’s more, electrolysis is effective and highly versatile, working to permanently remove hair from all skin types and complexions. In addition, it also works on all types of hair, including thick and coarse ‘terminal’ hair, as well as fine ‘peach fuzz’ and everything in between. In addition, electrolysis can even be used to remove unwanted hair from moles and tattooed skin. Before understanding the benefits and the process of electrolysis, it is vital to know the three main types of electrolysis techniques:
- Galvanic: Uses a chemical reaction to destroy the stem cells of the hair follicle.
- Thermolysis: Uses heat to destroy the stem cells of the follicle.
- Blend: Combines both galvanic and thermolysis methods for more effective treatment.
The Benefits of Electrolysis
First and foremost, as compared to temporary hair removal techniques such as waxing, shaving, laser hair removal, and sugaring, electrolysis offers life-long results. In addition, electrolysis works on all skin tones and hair colours, including light, fine, and coarse hair that lasers may struggle to remove effectively. Moreover, it offers a high level of precision, since each follicle is treated individually, allowing targeted removal of hair from specific areas.
When carried out by a professional electrologist, electrolysis is a safe and effective treatment. While some minor side effects may occur, they are typically minor and resolve on their own within several hours. This can include mild tingling and temporary redness during and following the procedure. Your electrologist will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure minimal side effects and optimal results following your permanent hair removal treatment.
In addition, electrologist is also a cost-effective hair removal treatment. While the initial upfront cost of electrolysis treatment may seem high, it is important to consider the fact that once treatment is completed, you will not need to spend more money on temporary shaving methods. After all, the lifetime costs of shaving, waxing, and laser hair removal are usually higher compared to permanent electrolysis hair removal treatment.
Electrolysis Customised Treatment
Since electrolysis is a highly precise and customisable treatment, your electrologist can create a treatment plan tailored to your unique requirements. For instance, many women struggle with unwanted facial hair growth on areas including the upper lip, chin, and neck, and electrolysis can be used to address these specific areas. The duration of each electrolysis session, as well as the total number of treatment sessions needed, depend on the density of hair growth and the size of the region to be addressed.
