• What is Probe Electrolysis

  It's the only method of Permanent Hair Removal approved by the International Guild of Professional Electrologists, Inc. and the American Medical Association recognized by the Food and Drug Administration. Electrologists are professionals who use specialized equipment to achieve hairfree, carefree results.

• What Causes Unwanted Hair?

  If you have a bothersome, even embarrassing hair problem, you are not alone. Superfluous hair is a problem that may affect as many as 90% of all men and women to some degree. Heredity is the key culprit as well as medications and normal hormonal changes at different stages of your life. Stress can be a contributing factor. Any situation that sets off the adrenal glands can trigger a hormonal reaction that can permanently cause fine, soft body hair to grow in as coarse, more noticeable dark hair. The services of a professional electrologist seem to be in greater demand as more men and women face stress in their daily lives.

• How does Electrolysis work?

  The Electrologist inserts a very fine probe alongside the hair in the hair folicle. A very slight amount of electrical current is then applied through this probe which destroys the hair root, permanently ending further hair growth

• Electrolysis Treatments?

  Electrolysis treatment programs are tailored to meet each individual patient's needs. Certain factors determine the number and the length of treatments required, such as the number of hair follicles contained in the area of treatment, the sensitivity of the skin, the particluar area to be treated, and previous methods of hair removal. Patients should ask their electrologists to provide them with a treatment schedule upon the first visit. Most patients find that a weekly session of 15-60 minutes is the most effective. The closer you adhere to your treatment schedule, the more effective your treatment program will be in helping you free yourself of superfluous hair forever.

• Other Hair Removal Methods?

  Other methods of hair removal provide only termporary relief to the problem of unwanted hair and, in some even compound the condition. Waxing and plucking strengthen the hair root, resulting in darker and thicker regrowth and, in some cases, cause ingrown hairs.

• After Treatment Care?

  Electrolysis is a safe and effective method of permanent hair removal with few of no side effects. It is perfectly normal for some slight reddening and or swelling of the skin to occur along the treatment areas. This usually subsides within a few minutes to one hour. Occasionally slight scabbing, which is a natural part of the healing process, may appear two to four days after treatments. This should be left alone and will disappear in a few days, Most electrologists recommend the application of a good antibiotic cream or an antiseptic lotion to enhance the healing process. Cosmetics should not be worn for 24 hours, and you are also advised to stay away from strong sunlight for a few days to avoid temporary freckling.

• What is the cost of Electrolysis?

  When you consider the cost of electrolysis, tally up a lifetime's bills for razors, creams, waxing and the hours of your time spent pursuing temporary results. In fact, the cost of a lifetime of temporary methods is often more expensive then electrolysis.
