Answer
Electrolysis or Thermolysis is a FDA approved method of permanent hair removal (not permanent FDA approved reduction like with our LightSheer Diode Laser) that's been used for over 125 years. Thermolysis uses short wave current delivered by a small filament or needle that slides down and along the hair shaft. The Galvanic, Thermolysis or Blend method of hair removal may be a good choice when removing hair from small areas such as a person's eyebrows, chin, side burns, ears and lip area. As well, these methods may be necessary to use when your hair color is white, blond or red, since laser hair removal is not a good option for these hair colors.Answer
Answer
Your skin will be somewhat red for a short time after an electrolysis treatment, but usually no longer than an hour. We will apply a soothing gel to the treated area right after the electrolysis treatment. It is necessary that you keep the treated area clean after your electrolysis treatment and perhaps apply an antibiotic ointment. Your skin should feel silky smooth after your electrolysis treatment, since the hairs slide out with tweezers during the electrolysis treatment.
Answer
Answer
Electrolysis or Thermolysis requires a series of treatments and sometimes ongoing maintenance. Electrolysis is a relatively slow process because the first concern is always your skin. We must remove each individual hair and do so without damaging or scaring your skin in the process. Electrolysis is best for treating very small areas of the body like your chin, ears, side burns, eye brows and lip area. As well, electrolysis is necessary for White, Blond and Red hairs that are not suitable targets for laser hair removal treatments. For larger areas of the body, and provided you are a good candidate, your best hair removal treatment option is using the LightSheer Diode laser hair removal system.
Answer
That usually depends on where your hair may be in the hair growth process. Initially it could be weekly, but most of our clients come in every 6 weeks for electrolysis treatments. After a series of electrolysis treatments, hair removal maintenance involves much less frequent visits, if at all.
Answer
No, you can't tweeze or wax yours hairs in between electrolysis treatments. This would mean your hairs would not be visible when you come in for your electrolysis treatments. You may still trim your hair with scissors, shave or bleach them if you like.
Answer
Yes, absolutely we use disposable, one-time use only, needles and a surgical grade autoclave for the tweezers we use to slide the hair out with each electrolysis treatment.
Answer
Usually a day or two’s hair growth allows us enough visibility to see and treat your hairs during any electrolysis treatment.
Answer
Very simply you will notice a big difference in your hair re-growth. You will notice there are fewer hairs growing back , the area will be less dense, the re-growth will be finer and softer.
