1. Is electrolysis always permanent?
Yes, ONLY if it's done correctly.
The FDA has specified that needle electrolysis remains the ONLY
method of permanent hair removal. For more specific information please
see our section titled "Electrolysis
that Works".
2. What is Multi-Modality?
Electrolysis is a generic term that refers to
the three methods of permanent hair removal.
- The Thermolysis Method uses high-frequency to produce
heat to destroy the hair growth cells.
- The Galvanic Method applies a current which causes
the chemistry of the follicle to change thereby destroying the hair
producing cells.
- The Blend Method combines both thermolysis and galvanic
simultaneously.
Each of these modalities is different but they all achieve
the same results - PERMANENT HAIR REMOVAL.
3. Is one electrology method
most effective?
The Thermolysis, Galvanic, and Blend Methods are
the only methods used at the present time. All three are legitimate
and effective if they are done by a competent practicioner. We, at Mishael's
Electrolysis Center, prefer the Thermolysis method because it provides
the quickest and most cost effective results for our clients.
4. How long should hair grow
before having treatments?
|
|
|
1-2 days growth is sufficient |
|
|
1 tweezing period
if tweezing once a week.
Let hair grow one week. |
|
|
2-3 weeks after
last waxing |
|
|
5-7 days |
|
|
7-10 days |
5. How much hair can be removed in one treatment?
The amount of the hair that can be removed in
one treatment depends upon the sensitivity of the client and the proficiency
of the electrologist.
6. Why choose electrolysis over
laser hair removal?
Electrolysis is the ONLY method
that is approved by the FDA for permanent hair removal. You may get
some reduction in hair growth with laser hair removal, however, long
term safety of the patient's skin and health has not been evaluated
yet with the laser method.
7. What is a CPE Board
Certified Electrologist?
The CPE is a designation that indicates that the
electrologist has successfully passed comprehensive national testing
that is developed by the American Electrology Association in order to
establish specific standards for the electrolysis profession. An electrologist
who is awarded the CPE Credential must fulfill continuing education
requirements in order to maintain the prestigious CPE status. |
