Conventional Electrolysis Introduction
 

Cost of Electrolysis with Probes

Electrolysis usually costs about $25 to $150 an hour for treatment (some pay even more, some less). You should plan on spending $25 to $250 a week (some pay even more, some less), tapering off over time, with a total cost to clear a face between $2,000 and $20,000 (some pay even more, some less). Many variables also affect this.

How Electrolysis Works

An electrolysis treatment involves the insertion of a sterile probe, the same size as the hair, into the hair follicle opening down to the Dermal Papilla. The dermal papilla is the Electrologist's target. It is the part of the follicle that contains blood and nerves and feeds the growing hair. If the papilla and regenerative cells surrounding it are destroyed, the hair will die. When the probe is in place a low-level electrical current is applied that will destroy the papilla and surrounding cells and loosen the hair in the follicle. The hair is then removed.

Causes of Unwanted Hair

Major factors contribute to the growth of excess hair:

  • Heredity

  • Racial Characteristics

  • Glandular Disturbances

  • Medication

  • Topical Influences

  • Stress

Puberty, pregnancy, and menopause can also cause excess hair growth. During the normal systemic changes in a woman's life, hormone production varies. It is not uncommon for hormones during these times to be unbalanced. Increased male hormones (androgens) can be present which may result in unwanted hair growth.

FAQs

Is Electrolysis Dangerous?

The amount of electrical current used is extremely small and poses no hazard. Electrolysis is mechanically safe and controlled at every stage of its application.

How Many Treatments?

Electrolysis involves a series of treatments. Many hairs will be eliminated with only one treatment, but some will need two or more treatments to achieve permanency. Electrolysis involves a series of treatments over a period of time. The length of time depends on the amount of hair, its coarseness, the cause of the excess hair, and many other factors, but once the dermal papilla has been eliminated, the hair is dead and will not regrow.

Is Electrolysis Painful?

Electrolysis can cause some discomfort which is relative to the client's tolerance and area of operation. When a client experiences discomfort, adjustments can be made to totally eliminate any sensation (although the length of the treatment will be increased proportionately).

The Treatment Procedure

Insertion of the Electrolysis ProbeThe insertion of the electrolysis probe is much easier and far less intimidating than most people believe. The "needle" is actually a blunt-ended, highly flexible probe which never pierces the skin. There is no blood or pain involved. It slides effortlessly down a pre-existing shaft, like a hand into a glove.

Find the follicle opening with the tip of the probe, match the angle of the hair growth with the probe, then slide it downward until it stops. Once the probe is correctly placed, depress the foot switch on your electrolysis unit. A mild current of energy exits the probe into the follicle pore destroying the hair growth. Conventional Electrolysis is so complete and thorough only one of ten hairs may return to require a second application.

Does Electrology Always Work? This question is usually asked when patients see hair appearing in the treated area. Hair that appears in the area is not necessarily hair growing from a treated follicle. Most, in fact, will grow from untreated follicles. If the hair appears in six weeks or less, you can be sure that it is from a follicle that was previously dormant. Seven to eight weeks would be required for a hair to grow from the treated follicle.

Can Electrology Be Harmful or Cause Scarring? Under normal conditions, there are no harmful effects from electrology treatment. Most undesirable aftereffects are caused by the patient. Scratching, picking, or using heavy makeup, and of course general uncleanliness, can cause problems. Caution should be taken with diabetics and patients prone to keloids. To avoid harming the patient, the electrologist should not treat areas inside the nose or ears, or wherever there are skin irritations, until the patient has been examined by a physician.

Can Hair Be Removed From a Mole? The electrologist should check insurance coverage and state regulations before treating a mole. A physician's permission should also be obtained to protect the health of the patient. These precautions are presently necessary because treating moles is still controversial. There is no recorded damage due to treatment of a mole, and many insurance companies now cover this treatment. In fact after treating moles in 90% of the cases the mole color disappears in 2 to 4 months, leaving the skin in perfect condition.

How Long Does Each Treatment Last? The average treatment ranges from 15 minutes to one hour. The amount of time per treatment depends upon the reaction of the skin to treatment, and the patient's sensitivity. Timing also depends on what part of the body is being treated. The first treatment should last no more than 15 minutes. Use this treatment as a test. If all goes well, a patient may eventually receive three hours of body treatment at one time. Facial treatments will always vary greatly depending upon the area; from 15 minutes to one hour.
