FAQ
Return to
top of page
Does Electrology hurt?
Very little, if at all.
There's a slight feeling of warmth at the follicle when current is applied,
lasting but an instant. The "blend" method is adjustable to many different
comfort levels within its effective range.
How long does treatment
take?
The length of treatment
depends entirely on the area to be cleared, hair type size, location and density of
growth. On the face, treatment is limited to a one half hour session or
less at any one time. Each hair must be treated individually. Leg and arm
clearance sessions may run longer.
How often do I come for
treatments?
This, of course,
depends on how much hair is being treated. The number of treatments
required can be determined only by expert evaluation. Your Electrologist
can estimate the time frame during your consultation.
Is permanent hair
removal expensive?
Not any more.
Specialization and development of new equipment has brought the cost of this
one-time "luxury" down to almost anyone's means. Electrolysis is perhaps
the least expensive cosmetic service you will ever employ...particularly in view
of its permanent improvement.

How long is the
treatment process?
Return to
top of page
Electrology is the "breaking down process."
The hair will not miraculously disappear after the first treatment, but on the
average, it takes a series of three 16 week treatments.
The first 16 week
period consists of the initial clearing of the area. This clearing process
will consist of treatments ranging from 15 minutes to one hour, depending on the
location and amount of unwanted hair to be removed. Future treatment will
vary according to the pattern of subsequent hair growth.
During the second 16
week period hair will be treated that were previously in an
unobservable stage of growth. These hairs are much finer and in far
fewer numbers than the established hairs that were previously removed.
During this phase, the frequency of the visits and duration of treatment time
will usually diminish.
The third 16 week
period is a maintenance program designed to successfully eliminate the hair
problem.
In cases of extreme
hair growth, additional series of treatments will be necessary.
Your dedication to
regular treatments and your individual hair growth pattern will determine the
number of necessary treatments.
Reappearing Hair

Hairs that reappear
seemingly in the same place, previously treated by an Electrologist, actually are
appearing in different hair follicles.
Electrolysis treatment
does not cure the causes of excess hair growth. It eliminates the effects
of the various causes. The two most common causes are heredity and the aging
process. Glandular disturbances, pregnancy, stress, certain drugs, obesity and
even anorexia nervosa are other causes of excess hair growth. They all stimulate the hormone necessary to grow excess hair.
Hairs are best treated
when in their hair growth cycle. Each square inch of
the skin contains several hundred hair follicles. Only a certain amount of
these follicles are in an active hair growth cycle. The remaining hair
follicles could grow hairs at any time depending on the particular hair cycle
and causes of the excess hair for the particular client. When these new
hairs eventually do grow, they are growing from previously dormant hair
follicles, in the same area that has been treated. They are not necessarily the
same hair follicles but may appear to be to the naked eye.
Fortunately, each area
of the body has a set amount of hair follicles and once most or all of the
active hair follicles are successfully treated the excess hair problem in that
particular area is basically completed. The time necessary to complete a
particular problem will depend on the severity of the problem, the causes, the
type of hair, sensitivity of the skin and the sensitivity of the patient.
Once an area is successfully treated, it may be necessary to receive a short
treatment at infrequent intervals, depending on your case.
Pregnancy
Return to top of page
The AEA's guidelines
for performing electrolysis on a pregnant woman are:
1. Do not perform
electrolysis on the abdomen or breasts during the last tri-mester of the
pregnancy using any modality.
2. GALVANIC - BLEND
When using Galvanic and
Blend modalities, imagine the shortest path through body between the treatment
site and the indifferent electrode. Make sure this path does not pass
through the abdomen or pelvis during the entire pregnancy.
Example 1 : If
working on the left leg, place the indifferent electrode of the left thigh
Example 2 : If working
on the face, place the indifferent electrode in one of the hands
Do not work on the
Abdomen during the entire pregnancy
The lower bikini line
can be worked on during the first 2 tri-mesters of pregnancy if the indifferent
electrode is placed on one of the legs/thighs closest to the area being worked
on.
