What is Electrolysis Hair Removal?
Besides shaving, waxing, and laser hair removal, another method of removing unwanted facial or body hair is through electrolysis hair removal. This technique uses a hair-thin probe called an epilator which is inserted into the hair follicle to deliver an electric charge to the hair’s growth center. After the charge has disrupted the hair’s growth center, the hair can be readily removed with forceps.
How Many Electrolysis Hair Removal Treatments are Needed?
There is not an exact number of treatments for complete hair removal because each individual will have a different hair growth pattern. Typically treatments are done either once a week or once every other week until there are no signs of growth. A single treatment session normally lasts no more than an hour.
Is The Hair Removal Permanent When Using Electrolysis?
In most cases the hair removal is successful. However, in some studies 7%-10% of patients do not experience satisfactory results.
Is Electrolysis For Hair Removal Painful?
Some individuals require a topical anesthetic, especially if they have sensitive skin or a low tolerance for discomfort. Also the coarseness of the hair being removed can affect the procedure and level of discomfort. However, for most patients the process is relatively painless, if not tedious.
Electrolysis Hair Removal Versus Laser Hair Removal
1) The process of electrolysis hair removal has been around for more than 100 years so there are more long term studies than for laser hair removal.
2) For laser hair removal, the technology is such that the patient’s skin tone is a factor in how the procedure works. This is not the case for electrolysis.
3) Laser hair removal is usually better at treating large areas — like a man’t back. This is because of the time it would take to remove each individual hair using the electrolysis method.
4) For small areas electrolysis hair removal is often cheaper than using lasers.
Always consult with your doctor or dermatologist before considering any hair removal procedure.
