Electrolysis works by inserting a tiny probe into each hair follicle. The probe is smaller than the hair follicle. The probe destroys the hair bulb, papilla and the blood supply to the hair. This causes permanent hair loss. The tiny probe eliminates the growth center of the hair with a small output of electrical energy. This leaves our clients with smooth, hair free skin.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This condition, which often begins with puberty, causes an imbalance of sex hormones. Over years, PCOS may slowly result in excess hair growth, irregular periods, obesity, infertility and sometimes multiple cysts on the ovaries.
Cushing syndrome. This occurs when your body is exposed to high levels of the hormone cortisol. It can develop from your adrenal glands making too much cortisol or from taking medications such as prednisone over a long period.
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia. This inherited condition is characterized by abnormal production of steroid hormones, including cortisol and androgen, by your adrenal glands.
Tumors. Rarely, an androgen-secreting tumor in the ovaries or adrenal glands can cause hirsutism.
Medications. Some medications can cause hirsutism. These include minoxidil (Minoxidil, Rogaine); danazol, which is used to treat women with endometriosis; testosterone (Androgel, Testim); and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). If your partner uses topical products containing androgens, you can be affected as well, through skin-to-skin contact.
Medical electrolysis devices can destroy the hair growth cells with chemical energy, heat energy, or both. The method chosen by the electrologist is the modality. All are effective. There are three modalities in current use:
Galvanic electrolysis is a chemical process. The current produces a chemical reaction in the hair follicle eliminating the hair growth cells.
Thermolysis (also called short-wave) produces heat. This modality heats and destroys the hair growth cells in the follicle. A higher intensity current can be applied for less time in the follicle, or current can be used at lower intensity with longer timing.
The Blend method combines galvanic current with thermolysis current. Thermolysis heats up the chemical reaction in the follicle destroying hair growth cells.
Electrolysis permanently eliminates unwanted hair from most areas of your body – regardless of skin or hair type.
The most commonly treated areas for women are:
Chin – Jawline – Upper lip – Throat – Sides of face – Eyebrows – Chest – Abdomen – Breasts – Bikini lines – Underarms – Hairline – Fingers and toes
The most commonly treated areas for men are:
Back (including shoulders and torso) – Ears – Brows – Cheeks (to clean up beard line) – Neckline – Nape – Groin – Hands
As with most hair removal treatments, electrolysis requires multiple sessions to permanently remove all hair in the treatment area. You will need several appointments because hair grows in different stages. This means that the hair that is treated at the first appointment may not be all of the hair in the treatment area. Typically, you will need to schedule an appointment every other week to achieve optimal results. Treatment will last approximately fifteen min to an hour depending on size of the treatment area.
Every session is brought to you by a highly trained and experienced Electrologist. Our level of care is part of what makes the electrolysis treatment comfortable.
Both Laser and Electrolysis are great permanent hair removal methods. They both produce long lasting effects especially when compared to shaving, waxing or other temporary methods of hair removal. Laser and Electrolysis are both excellent options to achieve permanent hair removal. However, unlike laser, electrolysis is for every client. Electrolysis can treat any hair color and skin type.
Both methods require multiple treatment sessions. However, the benefit of hair removal is far greater than the multiple sessions. Our clients can enjoy a life without constant worry about ingrown hairs, shaving, waxing or hair growth. With any of our permanent hair treatments, you will experience smooth, hair free skin. Most importantly, you will be ready for any event any time. You won’t need to worry about shaving first, razor burn or letting your hair grow out enough for waxing. The benefits are endless and that is what we can give to our clients.
At the Oasis, our first appointment is a consultation. This is to ensure that each individual client experiences one on one attention to their wants and concerns. This is one of the many things that sets Oasis Beauty apart from other spas. We want our clients to experience the joy of having their wants and needs put first. This is easy when you care about each individual client. Laying out a treatment plan for your concern will be the building block of getting you to your hair removal goals. Once our consultation is complete, we can start on your treatment.
There is no reason that you should have to deal with unwanted hair. We have treatment options for everyone and pride ourselves in informing you on which one would fit your lifestyle and removal goals. Booking with us is simple and you can start right here.
