Electrolysis
It can be hard to feel confident when you have unwanted hair growth. But, whether the offending hair is on your face or body, you aren’t doomed to a life of irritating shaving routines and unpleasant-smelling hair removal creams. If you are looking for electrolysis in San Antonio, Electrolysis Center Laser Hair Removal can erase undesirable hair for good.
What Is Electrolysis?
Electrolysis is a the only FDA-approved permanent removal of unwanted hair. This has been a tried and true method since the 19th century. A sterilized probe is inserted into the follicle to destroy the germinative portion of the hair. The effects of electrolysis are permanent but do take multiple sessions and dedication to treatment to get the desired effect.
How It Works
Using a revolutionary Instantron SPECTRUM ELITE machine, one of our
skilled electrologists will insert a probe the size of the offending hair into the base of a hair follicle.
Then a controlled electrical current will be applied by stepping on a foot pedal to let out the energy into
the hair follicle and will destroy the surrounding cells and cauterize the blood supply. After the hair has
been treated it is extracted.
The electrical current used during the treatment is low, rendering the
process painless. Although some patients may feel a tingling and slight warming, most find the treatment
barely noticeable. For patients who have exceptionally delicate skin, numbing cream is an option to ensure
patient comfort. Electrolysis is effective all over the body, with some common treatment locations being the
face, back, bikini line, legs, underarms, areola, and abdomen.
There are 3 different methods of
electrolysis: Galvanic, Thermolysis, and Blend method.
Galvanic is the slowest method of the 3.
During treatment you hold a rod to create a circuit and when the probe is inserted it is essentially
vibrating the follicles and creating lye which then in turn kills the surrounding cells.
Thermolysis
is the quickest method of electrolysis. The insulated probe is inserted into the follicle and controlled
heat is emitted through the probe, attacking the germinative portion and cauterizing the blood
supply.
The blend is true to its name. It combines the treatment of galvanic and thermolysis to a
quicker more efficient treatment.
