Unwanted body and facial hair is something that we have to deal with, like it or not. Unfortunately, there is a high cost and a huge effort involved in having it removed. Having said that, there are many reasons to choose electrolysis for hair removal over any other method.
For one thing, other methods can be extremely expensive. Furthermore, they don’t have any real guarantees that they are safe. Each year, newer technology is being developed. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been thoroughly tested to ensure complete safety.
Electrolysis on the other hand has been around for decades. It has proven itself to be safe and effective. As well, it has withstood the test of time because of its great benefits. It is in fact one of the best ways to go about removing unwanted facial hair, especially when detail is required.
For example, permanently removing or shaping eyebrows can only be done properly with this method. It is the only means that provides detail needs in such cases.
There are three types of electrolysis that can be used. There is the galvanic, the thermolysis and the blend. The first uses a DC current, the second an AC current and the third uses both. Each of these uses the current that passes through a fine needle right at the follicle to destroy it.
The needle or metal probe is not felt so there is no pain in that regard. There is however the current that can feel more sensitive for some but not in others. In essence, the “pain” is much like what is felt when tweezing. It does depend and vary from one individual to another. However, there are factors that affect the level of sensitivity, such as the curvature of the follicle, the area of treatment, and the hormonal balance, to name but a few.
