How long does electrolysis treatment take?
Most clients return once a week or every other week as needed. But the unwanted hair will be gone forever once the series of treatments is complete. Each treatment lasts between 15 minutes and one hour.
How many sessions do you need for electrolysis?
You will need around eight to twelve electrolysis sessions to permanently remove your hair. This may seem like a lot of sessions, but remember that once it’s done, that hair is gone forever!
Is electrolysis hair removal painful?
Is the procedure painful? This electrolysis treatment process usually does not cause any pain. But you may feel a little discomfort in the initial phase of the procedure if it is your first time. The feeling is similar to that of shock and tingling, rather than real pain.
Is there a way to do electrolysis at home?
The cheapest of the cheap do-it-yourself approaches is a home electrolysis kit. Most home systems do not work, especially electric tweezers such as IGIA, etc. You need to find one that emulates real electrolysis, with a probe you insert into the follicle to conduct current to the hair root.
Does hair fall out immediately after electrolysis?
Generally, if you have a good electrologist, you will not feel any insertion, nor will you feel the hair being removed. After the hair root has been treated, the hair will slide out with little assistance from your electrologist.
Do I have to let my hair grow before electrolysis?
How long do I have to let the hair grow in before having electrolysis? It’s best to discontinue any method of temporary hair removal for at least two days, although the longer you go, the better. The hairs must be long enough for the electrologist to grasp with a tweezer-like instrument.
Do I need to shave before electrolysis?
Be sure to have NOT shaved, waxed or done any other method of hair removal for 3 days before treatment. The hairs need to be long enough to be grabbed with a professional tweezer. I strongly recommend shaving 3 days before treatment so that we can ensure completely permanent results for those hairs present.
Are home electrolysis kits effective?
Yes, for what it does, electrolysis is effective. But there’s only so much work you can have done in a single sitting. And it’s significantly less than you can achieve during a session with an at-home laser hair removal device. To significantly reduce the hair on your body would require multiple sessions.
What is the most effective form of electrolysis?
Galvanic electrolysis
Galvanic electrolysis hair removal is more effective than thermolysis, but the thermolysis method is faster, with the electrocoagulation of thermolysis working best on fine hair destruction. Third method of electroylsis combines the previous two techniques into what is known as the “blend” method.
