Answer
Blend Electrolysis is one of the three different types of electrolysis styles practiced by electrologists around the world. The Blend Electrolysis method tries to combine the benefits of both Galvanic and Thermolysis electrolysis methods by passing an AC and a DC current through the needle at the same insertion.
Answer
Galvanic Electrolysis is one of the three different types of electrolysis styles practiced by electrologists around the world. Galvanic Electrolysis is when a DC current passes through the needle, causing a chemical reaction in the hair follicle. This chemical reaction produces sodium hydroxide, also know as lye, which destroys the hair follicle.
Answer
Thermolysis Electrolysis is one of the three different types of electrolysis styles practiced by electrologists around the world. Thermolysis Electrolysis is when a AC (or short wave) current passes through the needle causing vibration in the water molecules surrounding the hair follicle which produces heat. (Similar to the principle behind a microwave oven.) The heat damages the hair follicle. This method is much faster than Galvanic or Blend in that larger areas can be cleared at one treatment. Also, it is considered the most comfortable method.
Answer
Electrolysis or Thermolysis is a FDA approved method of permanent hair removal (not permanent FDA approved reduction like with our LightSheer Diode Laser) that's been used for over 125 years. Thermolysis uses short wave current delivered by a small filament or needle that slides down and along the hair shaft. The Galvanic, Thermolysis or Blend method of hair removal may be a good choice when removing hair from small areas such as a person's eyebrows, chin, side burns, ears and lip area. As well, these methods may be necessary to use when your hair color is white, blond or red, since laser hair removal is not a good option for these hair colors.Answer
Not really, but again everyone's pain tolerance is different. Most people say it feels similar to when they tweeze out their own hair at home. Topical anesthetics can be used to make the electrolysis process more comfortable, if you like.
Answer
Your skin will be somewhat red for a short time after an electrolysis treatment, but usually no longer than an hour. We will apply a soothing gel to the treated area right after the electrolysis treatment. It is necessary that you keep the treated area clean after your electrolysis treatment and perhaps apply an antibiotic ointment. Your skin should feel silky smooth after your electrolysis treatment, since the hairs slide out with tweezers during the electrolysis treatment.
Answer
That depends on many different factors such as heredity, physiological changes, malfunctions of the endocrine system, medication, topical influences, stress, what your looking to achieve, etc. Click here to see our electrolysis treatment pricing page.
