Details on Electrolysis

There are three main types namely:

1.Thermolysis: This method was developed in the 1940's. It works with the type of current we have today (AC/DC). It is quick and causes no chemical reaction. It coagulates with the life source of the hair follicle (Derma Papilla), therefore eliminating it.

2.Galvanic: This was discovered by an ophthalmologist in St. Louis, Missouri in 1875. It was used to solve theproblem of ingrown eyelashes without disfigurement to the patient. It works by causing slat and water in the skin around the probe to be chemically altered to produce a small amount of sodium hydroxide or lye. If enough is produced, it damages the cells that cause hair growth.

3.Blend: This juxtaposes the quickness of thermolysis with the permanency of galvanic current. Blend is recommended by several experts. However, based on your skin type (skin, texture, level of moisture), hair type, and client sensitivity, an Electrologist will select the appropriate current for you.

Using any of the methods mentioned above, current levels can be adjusted to maximize client comfort.
