Many people find that they have more body hair than they desire. For some women, shaving or waxing around their bikini areas or armpits is not adequate at removing hair completely. In other cases, people may simply grow tired of shaving or having embarrassing body hair in certain locations. Electrolysis Philadelphia is a permanent way to get rid of body hair that offers fantastic results.
How Does Electrolysis Hair Removal Work?
To remove hair using electrolysis, a licensed professional will use a small electric probe kill the roots of hair. Only one hair can be treated at a time, so receiving electrolysis over a large area can take a great deal of time. Most people will receive multiple electrolysis treatments over a period of several months to effectively remove hair for good. As hair grows in different cycles, and becomes stronger as it grows, it is important to have several treatments to ensure hair is completely eliminated. Once the roots are destroyed, hair will not grow in that area again.
Who Can Receive Electrolysis?
Anyone with healthy skin can receive electrolysis treatments. Unlike laser hair removal, electrolysis will work on any type of skin tone or hair color. It will also work effectively on hair of different thicknesses and lengths. This means many more people will benefit from electrolysis than from laser treatments. Some people will use electrolysis to remove any hairs that a laser hair removal treatment misses. Since laser hair removal won’t remove all hairs at once, and only targets thick, dark hairs, electrolysis may be needed to remove any fine hairs remaining after a laser treatment.
Does Electrolysis Hurt?
Electrolysis is only minimally painful, but sometimes people will have a slight skin reaction to the treatment. At most, skin may feel slightly warm and sensitive after an electrolysis session. This is nothing in comparison to the pain of waxing, epilation or threading as a means of hair removal. Using an ice pack after treatments is a good way to reduce irritation or pain.
When unwanted hairs become a burden to remove, some people will opt for professional hair removal treatments. Though several options for removing hair exist, electrolysis is the only one that produces permanent results. Electrolysis Philadelphia can be used on any type of hair, and it will permanently kill the roots that allow hair growth.
