I am so thankful for my clients! 🥰✨

⚡️How Does Electrolysis Work? ⚡️

❇️A very fine probe is inserted into the natural opening of the hair follicle alongside the hair shaft to destroy the hair growth cells.

❇️There are three modalities used today that fall under the heading of electrolysis:
⚡️Galvanic or electrolysis is a chemical process. The current produces a chemical reaction in the hair follicle eliminating the hair growth cells. This method is widely used in the multiple needle galvanic electrolysis, utilizing up to 16 needles simultaneously.
⚡️Thermolysis or short-wave produces heat. When this modality is used, it heats and destroys the hair growth cells in the follicle. This modality can be utilized in two ways: (1) the flash thermolysis method uses high-intensity current for less time in the follicle (2) the current is used at a lower intensity and longer timing.
⚡️The blend method combines galvanic current with thermolysis current. Thermolysis heats up the chemical reaction in the follicle destroying hair growth cells.

Electrolysis works on all skin and hair types.

It can be applied to most facial and body parts, including eyebrows, chin, upper & lower lip, jaw line & sides of the face, breast & underarms, abdomen, bikini line, legs, and back.

Happy Friday! ✨

The difference between Electrolysis and Laser is that Electrolysis stops hair growth by inserting an epilator underneath the hair follicles. This damages the hair follicle to prevent hair growth.

Laser hair removal uses mild radiation with high-heat lasers. This technique doesn't create permanent results and can grow back thicker after stopping treatments.

Are you ready to ditch the razor?
✨Cons of Shaving
• There is a risk of cuts, abrasions, and razor burn or irritation to sensitive skin
• Potential for ingrown hairs
• Leaves the hair with a blunt end, which feels rough as it grows back
• Leaves the root intact, so it takes less time for regrowth to be noticeable
⚡️Shaving Tip⚡️
Never shave against the grain. (which means never shaving in the opposite direction of your hair growth.)Instead, shave with the grain; in the direction of your hair growth.

✨Aftercare Treatment Tips✨

• Avoid sun exposure for up to 48hrs after treatment.

•Apply SPF 30+ daily on the treated areas.

• Apply ice to the treated areas.

• Avoid hot baths, saunas, or heavy workouts.

•Keep your skin clean by using an antiseptic, like Witch Hazel, 2-3 times a day.

• Avoid using alcohol-based products and deodorant on the treated areas.

✨Q&A ✨

✨Tips to help prepare you for your electrolysis session✨

1. Hydrate, Hydrate, hydrate! Drinking plenty of water helps the hair slide out more easily.

2. If your skincare routine includes Peels, Acids, and Retinols, take a break at least one week before treatment.

3. Avoid caffeine a few hours before your appointment for a more comfortable treatment.

4. If your electrologist can't see the hairs, they can't zap the hairs. Plucking, waxing, threading, or tweezing before your appointment reduces the number of hairs your electrologist can remove.

5. Cleanliness is an essential part of your treatment. Clean skin reduces the risk of infection and irritation, so makeup, deodorants, lotions, and oils should be avoided on the day of your treatment.

6. Relax! Rest assured that electrolysis is the only hair removal method recognized as permanent by the FDA.
