Hair Removal: Electrolysis, Thermolysis or the Blend
Method?
There are so many choices of hair removal, therefore, it
can be a little changing when it comes to choosing a suitable
technique for yourself. Some of the options that are available
are such as electrolysis, thermolysis and the blend method.
These are in addition to all the other methods that claim
to be the best.
So, how do you decide which method of hair removal will work
best for you? Before you jump to whichever method, you need
to research all the options available and take into consideration
your skin sensitivity and your tolerance to pain. Now, let’s
review the choices available.
Electrolysis is considered as a permanent hair removal technique
which works by destroying individual hair follicles so that
the hair can never regrow. This is how it works. Must be careful
about not puncturing your skin, a slender probe is will be
inserted into a hair follicle. Once inserted, an electrical
current is passed through to the end of the probe, at which
point a chemical reaction takes place. The reaction then causes
the salt and water molecules located in the follicle to change
into lye which helps to loosen the hair and causes permanent
damage to the follicle base. The loosened hair is then gently
pulled out with tweezers. This process is repeated at every
follicle where hair is to be removed.
While this process is known as the best for permanency, electrolysis
however can be painful and expensive. Due to the tedious process,
this method is not recommended for large areas of removal.
On top of that, it usually requires numerous treatments as
well. It's recommended that this process is performed by a
licensed professional because if done improperly, the skin
can be permanently damaged or the follicle may not be properly
altered which can lead to hair regrowth.
Similar to inserting a probe into a hair follicle, it is
how thermolysis works in a hair removal process. Once inserted,
the water molecules inside the follicle bounce around and
create heat. It is the heat that destroys the base, or the
dermal papilla of the follicle that prevents future hair growth.
This more speedy hair removal method is not as effective as
electrolysis, and might cause burning and scarring which is
why it should only be performed by a professional.
The 'blend' method of hair removal involves the use of the
above two hair removal techniques to result a quicker and
more efficient process. This process begins to be more and
more popular. Combining the heating element of thermolysis
with the molecular transformation produced from electrolysis
creates heated lye and it's the heated lye that causes the
follicle base to be damaged. On top of being being quicker
and more efficient, the blend hair removal process works on
most types of hair.
Electrolysis, thermolysis and the blend method are all the
proven effective techniques for body hair removal. Since these
procedures involve the use of needles or probes, so, it is
important to make sure that you use only sterilized equipment
to reduce the risk of infection. And, only trained professionals
should perform these procedures to reduce unwanted risks.
