Electrolysis is still the only permanent
solution for removing unwanted hairs!
In a global hair removal market
worth over $1 billion USD, electrolysis
continues to be unrivalled in its ability
to permanently remove unwanted hair.
In 1875 an ophthalmologist discovered that he
could permanently remove ingrown eyelashes
from his patients. Over 100 years later,
electrolysis continues to be both a safe and
reliable method of treatment.
Electrolysis is a truly unique solution and can be
performed on almost everyone!
Electrolysis is 100% effective on all genders, all
skin colours and skin types and on all hair colours
including those troublesome white, red or grey
hairs. Often times we are trapped in an endless cycle
of reaching for our razor, waiting between waxing
appointments or enduring the pinch of the tweezer,
however methods which involve the forcible yanking
or ripping of hairs from their follicles commonly lead
to other skin issues such as hyperpigmentation,
microscopic cuts in the skin or ingrown hairs.
As shown by the image below, ultimately we are left
with heavily distorted hair follicles, which respond
with a better blood supply and enlarged follicle.
This means the body produces thicker hairs than we
started out with!
- puberty
- stress
- pregnancy
- menopause
It is during these times, that excessive levels of
androgens “switch on” stem cells in the skin -
et voila, new unwanted hairs emerge!
Unfortunately sufferers of a condition called Polycystic
Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) can attest to this. Of those
affected by this condition, approximately 70%
experience unwanted hair growth on the face and
chest.
In short, knowing that we are able to permanently
remove these troublesome hairs altogether is a
powerful feeling, especially given the emotional
and mental stress accompanied with constantly
maintainance.
As with anything, electrolysis is a process. We target
each individual hair that can be seen above the surface
of the skin, one at a time. Active follicles can take
anywhere between 3-12 months to grow new hairs.
However, in partnership with your electrologist, you
will achieve permanent results.
Hormones may run the show, but we can fight back
Hormones act as chemical messengers and we
all experience major fluctuations in the levels of
androgens (a group of sex hormones) during times
such as:
