What is Electrolysis?

       Electrolysis is the process of removing unwanted hair permanently by coagulating the root of hair called papilla. This is done by applying heat through a needle like wire called a probe, which is inserted into a natural opening of the hair follicle to destroy the bottom one-third of the follicle. This procedure causes gradual cellular destruction impairing the ability of the follicle to produce a hair.

F.A.Q.

1) What are the causes of unwanted hair growth?
    There are many causes of hair growth. The most common causes are biological changes, heredity, medication, stress, dysfunction of the endocrine system such as irregular menstrual cycles, ovarian disorders, or thyroid irregularities. As a woman advances through puberty, pregnancy and menopause, she experiences fluctuations in hormone levels which may cause increased hair growth in an area that has never before been affected.
 

2) Why not use temporary methods of hair removal?
    Temporary hair removal such as shaving, waxing, tweezing, bleaching, depilatories and the use of home mechanical devices not only may cause skin irritation, ingrown hair and distorted follicle, it may also stimulate many other fine hairs to become coarser, thicker and more noticeable.
 

3) Is it uncomfortable?
    Electrolysis is not any more uncomfortable than plucking or waxing. The sensation varies according to the area and to the sensitivity of the skin and person. Feri would start you at a low level and gradually increase the power to where you are comfortable and the hair would be destroyed.
 

4) What are the side effects?
    A slight redness and possible scabs which are very tiny and are invisible to eyesight. Feri would recommend post treatment care.
 

5) What about infectious diseases?
    Every client gets a new sterilized disposable probe for each treatment. Feri wears disposable gloves and follows the national recommended standard of sterilization procedures.
 

6) How many times do I need to get a treatment?
    The best time to remove the unwanted hair permanently is to catch it at an early stage. Since the hair growth is at different stages, one of the most important elements in achieving successful destruction of the hair follicle is the continuity of treatments. Permanent results are best achieved by the faithful participation of each client in a planned program in order to catch it at an early stage. the time in which one achieves permanent results is dependent upon such factors as ones medical history, age, previous temporary hair removal methods used, the texture of the hair to be treated, the sensitivity of the skin and/or person and frequency and type length of treatment.
