Nearly
all areas of the body can be treated. The most
popular areas requested are the upper lip, eyebrows,
face, arms, under arms, bikini area and men's
backs
and outer ears.
Electrolysis should not be performed on the inside
of the ears or nose and a dermatologist should
be consulted before removing hair from moles.
Methods
such as waxing, tweezing and depilatory creams can
actually stimulate hair growth. When a hair root
is pulled at or tugged for removal, blood is rushed
to that area and nourishes the hair follicle. These
methods can also result in ingrown hairs.
Laser
treatments can start at $150 for a small area like
the upper lip. When you factor in repeat laser treatments,
electrolysis becomes even more cost effective. Electrolysis
produces permanent hair removal so you save time
and money by not having to return to treat the same
area again and again once it is cleared through
electrolysis.
Advanced Electrolysis rates: $1 per minute with
a $20 minimum or $60 for a full hour.
It
is impossible to destroy hair growth tissue
without sensation because each hair follicle
is surrounded by its own network of nerve
endings. The sensation, which may be felt,
is assurance that destructive activity is
taking place. Numbing creams may be used
to reduce discomfort when treating sensitive
areas.
Advanced
Electrolysis has many male clients. The privacy
of the treatment room and waiting room
is reassuring for men. Areas most frequently
requested
by men include the hairline, bridge of nose,
eyebrows, back and shoulders and the chest.
Electrolysis can also be used to treat ingrown
hairs.
