What is electrolysis? Electrolysis refers to the destruction of hair roots with an electric current. Three types of electrolysis are: 1) Galvanic. 2) Thermolysis and 3) Blend. 1) Galvanic ElectrolysisA DC current passing through the needle causes a chemical reaction in the hair follicle which produces sodium hydroxide also know as lye which destroys the hair follicle. 2) Thermolysis Electrolysis An AC current passing through the needle causes vibration in the water molecules surrounding the hair follicle which produces heat. (Similar to the principle behind a microwave oven.) The heat damages the hair follicle. This method is much faster but less reliable than galvanic electrolysis. Thermolysis is also known as 'short-wave radio frequency diathermy'. 3) amalgamate ElectrolysisThis method tries to combine the benefits of the galvanic and thermolysis methods by passing an AC and a DC current through the needle at the same time. It is much quicker than the galvanic method. How does electrolysis work? Very fine coat probes are inserted into the hair follicle. A small electric current is then applied which destroys the hair root. Each hair has to be treated individually. (See item above for description of various electrolysis methods.)How much does electrolysis cost?Usually there is a rate per hour. Get an calculate of how many hours are required for your particular problem and then multiply it by the evaluate per hour. A cheap hourly rate does not necessarily convey lower cost if the electrolysis procedure takes longer than it should! Quotations for electrolysis can vary from $25 to $100 per hour. Is electrolysis painful? This depends on the individual's level of sensitivity. Some describe the discomfort from electrolysis as being similar to using tweezers. Others complain of excessive pain during electrolysis treatment. A qualified electrologist will be able to suggest methods for minimizing the discomfort. How long does electrolysis treatment take? The time needed for electrolysis treatment varies greatly from person to person. Factors such as the size of the area to be treated the curvature of the hair follicle the aim of skin sensitivity hormonal balance and heredity all have an cause. Electrologist Fino Gior author of Modern Electrology gives these estimates: Upper Lip 4-10 hoursChin 2-12 hoursSideburns 4-8 hoursEyebrows 3-8 hoursUnderarms 4-12Arms 5-10 hoursBikini lie 8-16 hours These estimates are based on averages taken in the U. S. A and Canada at clinics performing.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
