Are you tired of shaving your armpits? How about never having to remove hair from your legs again? There is a way to permanently remove unwanted body and facial hair, and it’s called electrolysis. Electrolysis has been around since 1875 when a German Physician, Dr. Charles Michel, discovered that electrolysis was an effective method for removing unwanted hair.
Electrolysis works by inserting a fine needle into the follicle and applying an electrical current that targets the root of the hair without damaging the skin or surrounding tissue. The electrical current produces heat, which damages and eventually kills the hair follicle cells, preventing further hair growth. Since each individual hair is treated, multiple sessions may be required to remove all hairs, although some hairs may not grow back.
Electrolysis can be used on all areas of the body where hair growth can be removed, including the face, legs, underarms, arms, and bikini line. It is also effective in removing facial hair such as mustache/beard hair, making it a popular method for men trying to give up their razors. Electro-epilation is another permanent hair removal procedure that uses an electrical current to move or rotate an electrode across the skin without actually inserting it into the skin. This method rotates the hairs within their follicles while producing heat that eventually damages and destroys them, making electrolysis a more efficient form of epilation. It ensures all hairs are treated effectively rather than only some of them.
While electrolysis and epilation are permanent hair removal methods, they can be expensive and painful for some people. IPL Laser Hair Removal is an alternative option that most people prefer. LIPL Laser Hair Removal has become a popular alternative to electrolysis and epilation because it is faster, less expensive, and less painful. Instead of inserting a needle into the follicle to damage the root of the hair, a laser produces a beam that emits light energy, which passes through the skin without causing damage to surrounding structures or tissues. During LAHR, melanin in the hair absorbs this laser light energy, which causes heat that damages the follicle preventing further growth. This process works best on lighter-colored hair, although darker hairs will eventually be eliminated with repeated treatments. In addition to being a less expensive and faster method, LAHR is also less painful than electrolysis. However, it does require a series of treatments, so lasting results can take from six to twelve months to be achieved.
Another form of IPL Laser Hair Removal called waxing involves applying warm, melted, or room temperature wax to the skin to remove unwanted hair at its root without damage to surrounding tissues. It’s a temporary solution that must be repeated often to maintain smooth skin, although, over time, the amount of wax used and length of time between treatments required will decrease and the amount of hair removed by each treatment. Hair may grow back after a few days or weeks depending on how fast your body naturally sheds hair but overall, it is an inexpensive alternative for frequent hair removal.
