Hair and Beauty Tips

Electrolysis hair removal is a great option for many people. For example, the best uses I’ve seen for the procedure is for women who want to remove unsightly hair from their upper lip, chin or jawline. Facial hair on women is extremely embarrassing so any procedure that can remove that hair permanently using a completely non-invasive procedure gets my vote. However, there are some disadvantages to electrolysis hair removal that you should strongly consider before going through with the procedure.

Scarring

First of all, there is a potential for scarring with electrolysis hair removal. If a pointed needle is used and there is now device that prevents the needle from penetrating the skin then there is potential for scarring. Should the needle enter and an electric charge is discharged into the skin, you could get a scar. That would not be nice if it happened on the face. If you choose to have electrolysis hair removal, be sure that the needle used is rounded so it can’t enter the skin. More importantly, be sure that the electrolysist is experienced and competent.

Cost Of Electrolysis Hair Removal

Electrolysis is extremely expensive. One hour can cost $45 or more. It can take 30 hours just to remove hair on the upper lip depending on how much there is and the electrolysist is slow. Someone who is faster and more experienced may be able to do the same procedure in half the time. You may be better off getting a home electrolysis device and performing the procedure on yourself. It could be hundreds of dollars cheaper.

Abusing Electrolysis Hair Removal

Using electrolysis hair removal to eliminate hair under your arms or legs is borderline abuse of the procedure. That’s just my opinion at the present time and need not agree with it at all. Using electrolysis hair removal to remove all the hair on your arms because there is too much for your liking seems too extreme to me. In this cause shaving or other hair removal options are probably better. However, if there are certain parts of the leg that a woman finds painful or uncomfortable to shave, perhaps the hair on that area could be removed while she continues to shave the rest of the leg.

Electrolysis hair removal could be right for you if you have hair in all the wrong places. Many women suffer from the embarrassing hair on the upper lip. Others still have hair that comes in heavily along the jaw line. Others still have hair growing on the chin. This condition can literally causes lots of stress, social discomfortant and even be a huge blow to the selfesteem of the women. If you have the problems mentioned here, then I would say that you are a good candidate for electrolysis hair removal.

If you are a women who is tired of shaving her arm pits and legs, or a man that is fed up with shaving everyday, electrolysis could be an option of you. However, I see electrolysis hair removal as an option for more serious cases. This procedure is very time consuming and could take several visits over weeks to do one leg for example. Each hair is treated one-by-one and you have a lot of hair on your legs. You men out there have quite a bit of hair on your face. Therefore, this treatment is obviously well suited to women and men with hair in embarrassing places. The payoff is well worth sitting in a chair for an hour a day for days on end until all the hair hair is removed.

How does electrolysis hair removal work? Each hair that grows on our body has a follical from which the hair grows. Electrolysis hair removal sends a charge of electricity into the follical killing the root of the hair making impossible to grow anymore. Shaving is unable to get at the root of the hair which is why it just grows back.

Electrolysis hair removal uses a stylis device which is entered into the follicle. The stylis should not penetrate the skin. A button is pressed sending the charge of electricity into the follical.

You have two options for receiving electrolysis hair removal treatment. First, you can pay a licensed professional. These trained experts can usually be found at spas or beauty salons. Depending on how large the area of hair is will determine how long it will take. Take a quick look at any area of your body that has hair on it. There’s a lot of hair there. If you pay an expert to do it you are essentially paying for their labor. That could get quite expensive.

Another option is to purchase a home electrolysis device. These devices are safe and easy to use. The device may seem a bit expensive, but if you think about how much you are going to pay someone per hour to do it for you, you’ll quickly realize that the home device is the cheaper option. Once you are done using it you can give it to a friend or sell it.
