Electrolysis Bliss

There is no other means that you can remove unwanted hair forever other than with the electrolysis method. Many people are still nervous about using electrolysis because it does involve a needle. However, this needle is so fine there is hardly any sensation at all. An electric current runs through the needle into the hair follicle. The hair follicle will cease to produce hair ever again. This is all it takes to get rid of unsightly hair. The hair will never grow again and you will have peace from time consuming and unpleasant hair removal treatments.

Knowing How Electrolysis Works

Electrolysis is not a new concept at all; an optometrist named Dr Charles Michel more than 125 years ago invented the process in England. What is amazing is that after 125 years, electrolysis is still the only method that has proven to be able to remove unwanted hair permanently.

So many of us have tried various hair removal methods that have been billed as ‘permanent’ without it being a success and have become disillusioned with all the miraculous claims of these products that cost us a fortune and left us disappointed. This is where electrolysis stakes its claim to fame; it has been scientifically proven over many years that it works.

Science Is How Electrolysis Works

The process of electrolysis is carried out by inserting a probe, which is an exceptionally thin needle, into the hair follicle. There is no real pain involved in the process because the needle does not touch any nerves or blood vessels in the skin; the needle is thinner than an actual hair. A tiny electrical current goes into the hair follicle from the tip of the probe once the probe has been inserted. The Electrologist then gives a gentle tug on the hair with a tweezers to see if the hair will come out. If the hair resists, the treatment must be repeated. Again the Electrologist will test the hair and the process is then repeated until such time as the hair comes out without having to be pulled out. Only when the hair has come out easily is the treatment considered to be successful. What must be realized is that electrolysis is not an instant process. Hair will grow out again at first but each time the hair will be thinner upon regrowth. When a hair does not regrow after a period of three months since the last electrolysis session, it will not regrow at all.

In order to comprehend how electrolysis works, you must realize that hair follicles cannot conduct a current, the probe must be able to get to the tip of the follicle to seal/kill off the root. Several treatments are needed for at first the probe cannot reach the root to completely kill it. Every time a treatment is given, the hair straightens out until at last the probe can reach the root and complete the treatment. Only after that is done will the treatment be complete.

Many products on the market today claim that the electronic tweezers they market is able to kill off the root of the hair by grasping the hair itself. This is an impossible claim as hair does not conduct electricity.

Electrolysis does not claim any fast and quick results, but it does guarantee eventual permanent removal of hair if treatment is followed up until such time as the hair root is killed.
