How Much Does Electrolysis Cost ?
|
|
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).

Why is V2R® Better Than The
Competition?
|
|
The
V2R System
uses an
auto-calibrated process which reduces the demand on the technician to
"dial in" proper output ranges for treatment. The system has 6 convenient power settings, from very mild to very aggressive. The
V2R
system also utilizes
the state of the art Variable Valence Reduction principle. By modifying the
sine wave of the galvanic current the system uses a frequency of electricity which
is substantially less discomforting than equal power of less-sophisticated
galvanic or blend epilators. The final result is the potential to produce
and incredible 10-30 molecular units of
electrolyzed sodium hydroxide in just seconds with a substantial
improvement in patient comfort.
The V2R system also has a foot switch for easy
operator control and a stainless steel anode for high quality conduction as
well as long product life. |

The
Treatment Procedure
|
|
The 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. |
