If you are looking for a reliable way to get rid of unwanted hair, electrolysis may be the solution you have been searching for. Laser Hair Removal and Treatment Center located on Arlington Blvd in Greenville, NC, and we offer electrolysis services for both men and women.
One of the most common questions about electrolysis is whether or not it hurts. The truth is, everybody has a different pain threshold, and the discomfort experienced during treatment can vary depending on the area of the body being treated, hair type, and previous hair removal treatments used.
Electrolysis involves destroying follicle tissue, which can be uncomfortable. However, adjustments to the settings and the use of topical numbing products can help alleviate some of the discomfort. Some people may find the pain annoying, while others may experience more discomfort. It is acceptable to take medication such as Panadol, which can help with the pain. Our pre-care instruction sheet provides more information.
Many people also wonder if electrolysis can be used on all areas of the body. Generally, any area of the body can be treated safely with electrolysis, with the exception of the inner areas of the nose and ears. For women, the most common areas for treatment are the chest, face, bikini line, abdomen, toes, and fingers, while men typically use the treatment more for the top areas of the arms, back, nose, around the ears, and ingrown hair around beard edges.
Another concern that people may have is whether or not electrolysis can be used during pregnancy. The first priority is to ensure that both mother and baby are in good health. The Thermolysis Electrolysis method is preferred during pregnancy as there are fewer contraindications. This method uses a very weak intensity of alternating current (AC) and poses no risk to either mother or baby. However, we would not recommend treatment on either abdominal or breast areas. We recommend speaking to your GP or therapist about this issue.
Slight redness and sometimes swelling can occur following electrolysis treatment, but this will usually disappear over a few hours following treatment. Treated areas should be kept as clean as possible for a day after electrolysis, as any bacteria entering the follicle may cause whiteheads. Tiny scabs may also appear, but it is important not to pick them off as they are the skin’s method of healing. Scabs are caused by lymph fluid being excreted due to underlying tissue trauma and then drying on the skin’s surface. These scabs may possibly be avoided by the application of antibacterial ointment to areas that have been treated. Our After Care information booklet will be given to you at your initial appointment so you can read more on this subject. There should be no permanent damage to treated areas of skin if electrolysis is performed properly.
Many people may be skeptical about the effectiveness of electrolysis, particularly if they have heard negative experiences from others. However, reputable practitioners belong to “The Association of Registered Beauty Therapists New Zealand,” so it is important to ensure that the clinic you attend is a member. Electrolysis does work, but the treatment must be done properly.
We recommend our free consultation and the treatment of a small area to see what results are achieved. There will be various reasons why someone may not be happy with electrolysis treatment, from consultation misunderstandings to substandard treatment, or perhaps the person failed to complete the full course of treatment but still expected the same final result.
One common misconception about electrolysis is that it takes a long time to achieve results. While it is true that electrolysis requires a series of treatments to completely eradicate any given area of hair, with consistent treatments, you will see significant improvement by the end of the first three months. The length of time it takes to complete the process
