What is Electrology?
Electrology is the only FDA- approved method for permanent hair removal that is safe for ALL skin tones. Because electrolysis permanently destroys the growth cells in the hair follicle, the hair will not grow back. Unlike laser, electrology will permanently remove unwanted or stubborn hair and can be safely performed on tattooed skin.
What causes unwanted hair?
Heredity and hormonal changes are important factors which contribute to hair growth. Androgen hormones are directly responsible for hair growth in both men and women. Normal changes in the hormonal system occur during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause which may increase the level of androgens resulting in new growth on the body or face. Certain medications can also disrupt the delicate endocrine balance and produced unwanted hair. Stress can stimulate the adrenal glands to initiate a hormonal reaction that can cause finer vellus hairs to become terminal hairs which are coarse and thicker.
There are also what’s considered abnormal hormonal shifts in women that trigger unwanted hair growth. Hirsutism is a condition that results in dark coarse hairs on the body where men typically grow hair like the face, chest and back. Hirsutism can be caused by any of the following conditions such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), Cushing’s Syndrome, Hyperthyroidism, Adrenal Tumors and Adrenal Hyperplasia.
What to expect?
Electrolysis is the removal of unwanted hair through the use of a sterile probe which is gently inserted to the base of hair follicle down to the papilla. A small amount of current or heat is distributed to destroy the hair follicle preventing another hair from growing. To insure that the hair follicle is destroyed electrolysis consists of a series of treatments. The amount of treatments you will need varies from person-to-person. This may depend on the amount and thickness of the hair, genetics, hormonal balance, health conditions, and your prior methods of hair removal. When you come in for a consultation, we will create a customized appointment plan. It is important to have patience and remember that each appointment gets you one step closer to being permanently hair-free. It can take on average 8-18 months for full results. This variance is due to many factors and every patient is unique. The post-treatment sensation feels similar to a sunburn. Redness, swelling, scabbing and possible bruising may occur.
Is It Safe?
Yes, electrolysis is safe for ALL skin and hair types. It’s even safe for tattoos, and is the only permanent hair removal method approved by the FDA. The machine being use is the Apilus Senior 3G model encompassing all the latest developments in the technology that makes your experience as efficient and comfortable as possible. However, it is important to alert your electrologist of all current and past health conditions because special attention must be paid to some including, but not limited to: diabetes, pregnancy, pacemakers, medications, topical creams, allergies to certain metals and latex.
