Electrolysis is a method by which body hair is removed. It

can be performed on any part of the body except the ears and the

inside of the nose. Women often have electrolysis done on

their bikini area, underarms, tummy, breasts, chin, brows, and

upper lip, although hair can also be removed on the toes, arms,

forehead, buttocks and legs. Many men also use

electrolysis to remove unwanted hair on their eyebrows,

cheekbones, neck, but especially their shoulders and

backs. Electrolysis can be arduous in that each individual

hair must receive treatment. The treatment consists of a

trained practitioner inserting a needle under the skin. An

electric current passes through the hair follicle, damaging

it.

It is believed that experiments involving electronial epilation

(the removal of hair) were taking place as long ago as the Civil

War era. Dr. Charles E. Michel (himself an

ophthalmologist) reported in the St. Louis Clinical Record in

1875 of the first successful permanent hair epilation by

electrolysis. Since then, electrolysis has become

quite popular.

Is electrolysis for you?

You should compare the pros

and cons of receiving electrolysis before you make that

decision. What are some of the advantages of using

electrolysis for permanent hair removal? Perhaps the

strongest case for using electrolysis for hair removal is that

is has the best record of accomplishment for results. For

over one hundred and twenty five years, practitioners have been

removing hair safely and effectively. In fact,

electrolysis is the only method approved by the Food and Drug

Administration (FDA) as a way to remove hair

permanently. While some hair may grow back and

require additional treatments, that hair is often thinner and

lighter. Studies have shown that more than 90% of clients

are happy with their electrolysis results.

While the advantages to having electrolysis are huge, a couple

of smaller disadvantages may prevent some people off from trying

it. One disadvantage is the cost involved.

Electrolysis can be very expensive. The average cost of a

one-hour electrolysis session is generally between $50 and

$60. Remember, however, that during this one-hour session,

each hair follicle has to be individually treated.

Electrolysis sessions are often broken down into fifteen,

thirty, and forty-five minute sessions as well, making them a

bit more affordable. You may also get a discount by

purchasing a package of two or more hours. Because it is

not possible to remove the hair permanently in one treatment,

you will need to have additional treatments. How many

treatments you need is determined by many things including hair

growth cycles, heredity, hormone function, and stress. The

average cost of a complete treatment of your legs ranges between

$1000 and $3000.

Another disadvantage of electrolysis is that it can be painful

and there is a risk of scarring. The sensation of pain

depends on each person's pain threshold, but there is a feeling

of a pinprick and of course, some areas of the body are more

sensitive than other areas. Some people compare the pain

of electrolysis to that of plucking a hair with a pair of

tweezers. While scarring is not common, there is always a

risk. Pitted scarring often occurs when flash thermolysis

years of experience should reduce the risk of scarring.

When considering electrolysis, there are several things you

should ask the practitioner. Ask if they use needle

electrolysis. This has a much higher success rate than

those that use the electric tweezers or photoepilators.

Ask how many clients they have treated and how long they have

been in business. Finally, ask their qualifications and

training for being a practitioner. One third of the states

in the U.S. do not require a certification for

electrologists. However, you can research the Internet to

find whether your state is one that requires

certification. If it is, the practitioner should have the

certificate prominently displayed.

Some people are not good candidates for electrolysis.

People with a pacemaker cannot receive electrolysis. Those

with diabetes or other serious health problems should always

contact their physician before seeking electrolysis treatments

to make sure it is safe. Electrolysis is safe for women

who are pregnant as long as the thermolysis mode is used.

The

decision to have electrolysis is a personal one. While it

may require money and time, many people feel that the removal of

hair boosts their self-esteem such, that it is well worth

it.
