A split second impulse is directed into the hair root causing destruction to the lower follicle.
Q. Are needles used?
Not the ordinary kind. Electrologists us a very fine called a filament.

You can hardily tell the filament is being inserted. The mild current may produce a slight warming sensation
which is adjusted to client's comfort.
Q. Is electrolysis really permanent?
Yes.
Q. What if hair seems to be returning while I am being treated?

| Advantages of Electrolysis over Laser
· While the process can take several treatments, it results in permanent hair removal.
· It is the ideal solution for small areas like the face where you want the hair gone forever.
· It has a proven track record (over 120 years) for safety and effectiveness.
· Electrolysis works on all skin types and color of hair and can be safely applied to all body areas.
Disadvantages of Electrolysis over Laser
Because the treatment is one hair at a time, it is not considered a fast process. Laser hair removal works by targeting the melanin (pigment) in the hair.
Advantages of Laser over Electrolysis
· Lasers are fast. The laser hand-set wand can treat numerous hairs simultaneously in seconds.
· While not permanent, the results can last long term (several weeks to several months)—a large body area can be done in minutes.
Disadvantages of Laser over Electrolysis
· Because lasers target the melanin (pigment) in the hair, it only works on dark hair. It does not work on light, blond, gray, red, or white hair.
· Lasers are not permanent. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) only allows lasers to claim long term hair reduction.
· If a person is tan or has a darker skin tone, the laser can get absorbed by the pigment in the skin rather than the hair follicle, limiting the effect of the treatment and potentially damaging the skin.
Lasers have not been evaluated for long-term safety of the patient’s skin and health.

Let Tanya take care of you too!"
