Electrolysis when applied to hair removal is a method in which a thin needle like probe is inserted into an individual hair follicle where a small electric current is then delivered to each hair follicle. The result of the current being delivered to the follicle is permanent damage to the follicle resulting in an inability for the follicle to grow hair again.
Hair grows in three different stages and like Laser and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) electrolysis works best on hair in the first stage of growth. Because all hair does not grow in the same stage at the same time, multiple sessions of treatment are required by professional electrolysis to achieve permanent results. Hair must be treated in the first growth stage. It may take anywhere from 15 to 30 treatments to gain desirable results in any given target area. For this reason electrolysis can be very time-consuming and expensive. The average electrolysis session lasting 30 minutes will cost around $45.
Electrolysis is effective on all skin types and has good over all results in removing unwanted hair for long periods of time, often permanently.
It is important to note that electrolysis is the only method of hair removal that the FDA has declared as permanent. Other methods such as IPL offer permanent reduction. With IPL results usually last about a year and then slight touch ups need to be done once a year. Permanent hair removal does sometimes result from IPL but has not been declared “permanent” yet by the FDA.
Are Electrolysis treatments painful?
The best answer to this is that pain tolerance is different for each patient but generally most people report a quick sting like sensation for each hair treated. This is tolerable for most people. If you find this is not right for you then perhaps IPL would be best for you.
Over all electrolysis is very effective at removing hair permanently. The drawbacks are that it take many treatments performed by a professional electrologist and these treatments are both time-consuming and expensive. There are other very effective hair removal methods available on the market today. With the recent advances in home hair removal technology these methods are less expensive, less time-consuming and provide great results.
The 3 methods of electrolysis.
- Galvanic: A chemical reaction is produced when a direct current is delivers to the hair follicle destroying the growth cells or Papilla.
- Thermolysis: This method is heat based. Unlike IPL or laser heat is created in the hair with an electrical current and is delivered in two different ways. Flash method uses more current for a short time and the other method uses less current for a longer time. The objective is the same in either method, to destroy the hair follicle.
- A Blending Method: Combining thermolysis and galvanic currents to heat p the chemical retain and destroying the hair cells.
