Electrolysis of hair - what is it, how to do it, contraindications, consequences

Electrolysis of bikini, face and legs is a popular modern cosmetic procedure. Despite the rapid development of hardware cosmetology, this method of hair removal is considered the most reliable and effective. Electrolysis of the face, legs and bikini area is very popular in our salon in Moscow. Complete hair removal can be achieved after several sessions.

The procedure is carried out by inserting a special disposable needle, which acts as an electrode, into the hair follicle. An electric current is supplied through it, which has a destructive effect on the root and the rest of the hair. The first stage of treatment of hair growth zones leads to the fact that hair grows only from neighboring (“spare”) follicles, with each session the amount of hair is reduced. If we take into account that hair follicles are not formed during life, but only those that were formed at the stage of intrauterine development wake up, then regular electrolysis will help to radically get rid of unnecessary hair.

Electrolysis of the face, legs and bikini area is best entrusted to the professionals of our salon located in the center of Moscow, who will carry out the procedure quickly and efficiently at prices that are optimal for the client!

"Epil Salon" is the first among the best!

For sensitive patients, various types of anesthesia are additionally provided, which will minimize the discomfort from electrolysis in the salon. We use: Emla cream, ultracaine in ampoules, lidocaine spray. At the end of each hair removal session, the skin is treated with a softening antibacterial cream, which ensures a comfortable condition and additional relaxation for the client.

Tell me, please, what to do with these points? Has anyone encountered this? Answer: It's pigmentation, not scary. Well, I just caught the sun. It will go away on its own by winter. If not, then remove it with whitening cream, one, two, three.

Dear girls! As a hematologist (blood diseases), as well as a client of Master Brunette, I would like to share my thoughts on the topic of transmission of hepatitis and HIV. Since September, she has been providing and asking her clients for copies of tests for HIV, hepatitis, and syphilis. And this is very correct! In our difficult times, we need to once again protect ourselves, and the master has a risk of infection while working with blood (we are doing the bikini area, but without blood there is no way - people with (I) blood type, all other things being equal, have worse clotting than the rest, and my platelets are closer to the lower limit of normal). This would probably offend many people and make them turn around and leave, but I calmly made a copy from my honey. book proving the absence of antibodies to these infections, and we continued our work. I would also like to note that to disinfect those materials that are not disposable, Brunette uses a microcide, amixan, and not banal alcohol, which actually DOES NOT KILL these dangerous microbes! Brunette, thank you for you!

Electrolysis methods

Since hair growth depends on individual qualities, the cosmetologist first examines the client and develops the optimal method for electrolysis of the bikini, face, legs and other areas of the body. In different cases, the number of sessions can vary from 4 to 10.

The three most common methods of electrolysis are:

• thermolysis;
• electrolysis;
• Blend technique.

Thermolysis

The essence of thermolysis is the exposure of the hair follicle to alternating current of a certain frequency. The tip of a thin needle inserted into the base of the hair instantly heats the follicle, which initiates its destruction. A special case of thermolysis is the Flash method, which allows for a targeted lesion of a hair follicle of any diameter without affecting the adjacent layers of skin. The needle affects the hair using high-frequency radio radiation concentrated at one point for 0.5 seconds. This time is enough to destroy small and shallow hairs. For coarser hair on the face, legs and bikini area, other electrolysis techniques are recommended.

Electrolysis

Electrolysis causes the death of the hair follicle under the influence of a chemical reaction, during which an alkali is formed. The entire procedure for electrolysis of the bikini, face or legs is carried out using two electrodes, one of which is inserted into the hair follicle, and the other is in the patient’s hand. Under the influence of a constant voltage current, a caustic alkali is formed around the tip of the needle. The appearance of hydrogen bubbles on the surface of the skin signals the end of the reaction. The damaged hair is removed. The method has proven itself well in small areas with coarse hair texture, but it takes a lot of time.

Using the Blend technique

This electrolysis technique combines the advantages of the previous two: first, a temperature effect is applied to the hair follicle, and then a short-term use of electrolysis completely destroys it, and accidental exposure to delicate skin is completely eliminated. This hair removal method is recommended for coarse hair and is suitable for any part of the body.

Skin care after electrolysis

During classical electrolysis, needles pierce the face, which causes some discomfort. But if not properly cared for, this can also cause inflammatory processes.

Healing after the procedure lasts from 3 days to a week. To avoid any complications during this time, you need to follow some rules.

How to care for your skin after electrolysis sessions:

• Immediately after the procedure, the specialist should give you a soothing regenerating cream. It will help speed up the healing process and protect the skin from harmful microorganisms. If it is not given out, use “Rescuer” or another product with herbal extracts;
• Do not allow the skin to dry out. Then it will begin to itch, and if the scales are torn off, scars will remain;
• For the first day, it is not recommended to bathe in hot water or apply cosmetics (if the session was performed on the face);
• Electrolysis often leaves raised, red spots and swelling. To remove them, you just need to stroke the epidermis in the problem area several times a day with an ice cube with chamomile;

  
  Lumps immediately after an electrolysis session

• Also, oak bark will help eliminate swelling and burns after shock. Take a spoonful of bark in a glass of water, boil it and wipe the skin with the resulting solution.

But even taking into account the difficulties in care, the before and after photos indicate that electrolysis is worth the effort.

Recommendations and contraindications

Within seven days after hair removal, you need to treat the skin with any of the following antibacterial agents:

• "Panthenol";
• tincture of calendula;
• for oily skin - Solcoseryl cream; for dry skin, “Rescuer” is recommended.

Electrolysis is contraindicated for:

• built-in pacemaker;
• dermatological diseases;
• hypertension;
• oncology of any degree;
• advanced stage of thyroid disease;
• pregnancy;
• cardiovascular diseases;
• diabetes mellitus

How is electrolysis performed?

There are two main methods of electrical hair removal: using needles or tweezers.

Tweezers

A thin tweezers-electrode grasps the hair to be removed, after which it is exposed to high-frequency current. The rod delivers current to the follicle and its subsequent destruction occurs. This method is characterized by its duration - up to two minutes are spent on one hair, so it is not used on large and extensive areas of skin. However, the advantages include its relative painlessness and low level of trauma.

Using tweezers-electrodes, hairs are processed in the required area.

Needle

Special needles are inserted directly under the skin, to the desired hair follicle, and apply electric current.

Types of needles used.

1. Made from an alloy of nickel and chromium, these metals are widely used in microsurgery. Typically, such instruments are used when performing manipulations on healthy skin in patients with a normal pain threshold.
2. Insulated needles are equipped with a special Teflon coating to protect the skin from damage. Used for patients with increased skin sensitivity.
3. Gold-plated needles are recommended for those who are prone to allergies.

Mandatory condition: the needles used in clinics are strictly disposable. Usually they are opened directly in front of the patient.

There are different types of needles, and they are all disposable

The procedure for hair removal using electrical impulses has a number of contraindications. These include:

• any blood diseases;
• malignant tumors;
• heart and vascular diseases;
• diabetes;
• increased tendency to develop scars and keloids;

  
  The tendency to develop scars and cicatrices is a reason to refuse the procedure

• installed pacemaker;
• for the bikini area: the presence of a contraceptive intrauterine device;
• varicose veins in the problem area where the procedure is performed;
• various skin diseases (acute and chronic);
• bacterial and viral infections;
  Infections – inadmissibility to the procedure
• period of childbearing and breastfeeding;
• any type of hepatitis;
• individual intolerance to the components used or electric current.

The main areas where electrolysis can be recommended are the chin, thighs, arms, legs, and armpits. The most painful areas are the bikini and lips.

Important ! Hair length requirement for the procedure: minimum 2 mm.

Electrolysis is performed on different parts of the body

A little history

Electric hair removal in cosmetology is rightly considered the oldest method of getting rid of hair. It was discovered in 1875 by American ophthalmologist Charles Michel (1833-1913) and was used to remove ingrown eyelashes. But after 5 years, this method began to be used for cosmetic purposes. In the middle of the last century, the first device for electrolysis was patented. And soon the procedure became very popular in America and England, and in the 70s they began to study it as a subject in medical institutions.

Can it be done by pregnant women?

At this time , the release of hormones increases, and hair growth also accelerates .
The painful effect that electrolysis produces each time an individual hair is removed causes the release of stress hormones. And this is contraindicated for pregnant women, because they are responsible not only for their health, but also for their baby.

Stress, as we know, does not lead to anything good. In addition, the smallest electronic sparks can negatively affect the development of the fetus.

Therefore, it is better not to take risks in such cases, but to give preference to mechanical removal with minimal pain.

How many sessions are needed?

Don't expect to get the desired effect the first time. You can only remove those hairs that are actively growing. But dormant bulbs will remain untouched. To achieve the desired effect, the procedure must be repeated 5-10 times . A third of the hair will disappear immediately.

What areas can be treated?

Electrical hair removal is a procedure suitable for treating small areas of the body. Experts say there are no restrictions on where hair can be removed. There are also no specific instructions on how thick the hair should be. There is no dependence on vegetation density, color, type. The most important thing is to have a great desire and patience to make your skin smooth and beautiful. In general, electric hair removal is performed on:

• buttocks;
• legs;
• hands;
• back;
• bikini area;
• breasts;
• face.

Each individual part of the body should have its own approach:

1. Buttocks. Most often, men seek to remove unwanted hairs from the buttocks. It is especially important to maintain a beautiful body for those who are directly related to the podium and acting. In women, a small amount of fuzz is observed. It can be dark or light. If the rod is excessively elongated, a diagnosis of hypertrichosis is made. The buttocks are an insensitive part. Pain occurs mainly near the anus and at the tailbone. There are disadvantages. Itching and redness will go away more slowly than usual. The procedure can be repeated only after 3 months. The entire course will take about 18 months. For women, fewer sessions are required, which take about 10 months.
2. Legs. The efficiency of electrolysis on them is quite high. To achieve an ideal result, 9 procedures are enough. Complete removal is done in 7 hours. The process is lengthy, since each individual hair is manipulated. This way you can completely get rid of vegetation, especially in summer. The presence of rods spoils the aesthetics. The procedure is performed once a month. The number of sessions directly depends on the density, rigidity of the rods, wishes, budget and time of the client. It will take about 3 hours to clean one shin. It is better to plan the start of the “fight” for the fall. This way you can wear your pants without sweating. Electric cleansing is considered the best option for feet. Electrical hair removal will give good results for 1-2 years.
3. Intimate area. Even if low-power equipment is used, the client may experience slight discomfort. In special cases, irritation and redness may occur. Hair grows in. The technique is safe, but the bikini area is a high-risk area. Before the manipulations, anesthetic injections are performed. The skin may get a slight burn if you choose the power and type of device incorrectly. The unpleasant itching persists for 3 days. The technology is suitable for gray, blond, and red hair.
4. Nipple halos. Every master should know how electrolysis works. You can ask him all the questions. If the answers are ambiguous, then you should think about his professionalism. Hairs on the nipple halos and chest appear due to hormonal imbalances. This happens during puberty, pregnancy, menopause. Sometimes they are observed even by completely healthy women with a genetic predisposition. The pathology is called hirsutism. You can overcome it in 12 months. The procedures are repeated every 1-2 weeks. At the end of the course, a break of 5 weeks is taken. The vegetation in this area is not too dense, so the result will meet expectations. The skin will heal in a few days. The consequences of electrolysis are excluded, the efficiency is high.

It is strictly forbidden to perform treatment if mastopathy is diagnosed. Hormonal disorders leading to hirsutism and mastopathy should be discussed with a mammologist or endocrinologist. No sane master will get down to business if there are serious contraindications.

What to do if your hair starts to grow faster

Sometimes hair begins to grow faster after electrolysis. This is due not only to the stimulation of follicle growth by the current, but also to the fact that the hair begins to grow back at the same time and appears thicker. This is especially noticeable after the first procedure, when the skin is still smooth, but in some cases, electrolysis stimulates hair growth. After the first session, it may seem that there are more of them. For the most part, it depends on the specialist who performs the procedure.

Here are some reasons why hair may grow back after electrolysis:

• broken equipment;
• insufficiently professional specialist;
• insufficient penetration of the needle into the hair follicle;
• weak electric shock;
• Incorrectly entered data into the device.

Not everyone who calls themselves an electrolysis specialist is one. Today there are many courses on the Internet that even a schoolchild can master, so you should trust only trusted specialists with a client base built over the years and appropriate education.

It is important to choose a competent master who you can trust. It is important that it has not only a quality certificate, but also a sufficient number of reviews on the Internet. A good specialist will be able to answer all the client’s questions, select the type of electrolysis, and conduct sessions efficiently and with minimal pain. The result of his work will please clients for a long time.

What prolongs the effect

Experts do not recommend taking too long gaps between sessions, because in this case it is pointless. Using depilatory cream at home does not guarantee results, so it is better to extend the course of sessions until the end. More than a month cannot pass between procedures, but if you miss it, you may not get the desired result.

It is important that before epilation the hair must grow and reach approximately 6 mm. Otherwise, the needle will not be able to destroy the hair. Too long ones will interfere with hair removal, and too short ones will remain inaccessible to the needle. Once the entire course is completed and the care rules are followed, you can forget about vegetation in inconvenient places. But no one can guarantee that after all this, other bulbs that were sleeping until that moment will not awaken. To minimize risks, you should avoid solariums and sunbathing, do not use chemical peeling, and do not use laser skin resurfacing. It is important to monitor your health and beware of hormonal imbalances and control your body.

Where can you remove hair using electrolysis?

Electrolysis removes hair from both the body and face. It is important to remember that there are time limits that you need to find out about from a specialist.

For example, the area above the upper lip cannot be treated for more than 10 minutes at a time.

IMPORTANT: you cannot remove hair from the ears and nose using electrolysis; you should be careful when approaching this type of hair removal in the armpit area.

A professional cosmetologist performs the procedure quickly enough. However, you cannot choose speed at the expense of quality!

How to choose a specialist

On the Internet you can find a huge number of reviews and comments about the work of a specialist, but not all negative reviews should be trusted. Each specialist knows a special category of dissatisfied clients who may write negative reviews for personal reasons, and not every specialist with positive reviews can perform high-quality electrolysis by deleting negative comments on his page. It is important to rely on the opinions of trusted people - your friends, loved ones, work colleagues, etc.

The main selection criterion is often the prestige of the salon and whether the master has a certificate. Even the best specialist will not tell you how many sessions it will take to prevent your hair from growing back. This factor is individual for everyone. However, many still manage to get rid of hair in any place forever.

Bottom line

Those who decide to undergo electrolysis must prepare for several procedures. One session, even for the smallest hair removal area, may not be enough. Several sessions are required, with a short interval. Sometimes getting rid of unwanted hair can take up to a year. But, if a person is not afraid of pain, he can be patient, the result is worth the effort. It is important to choose the right specialist, with an adequate combination of cost of service and level of skill.

If you look at very low prices, you can ruin your health and spend much more money on its restoration. It is for this reason that you should trust only trusted specialists with a confirmed quality certificate, preferably with a medical education or a diploma in a dermatologist or trichologist. He must practice electrolysis for a long time to avoid mistakes. Only in this case the result will pleasantly please you and will not result in grief, regrets or deterioration in health.

Preparation for the procedure

Types of electrolysis can be different. But in any case, you need to properly prepare first. The cosmetologist will tell you about such care measures at the initial appointment. He examines the skin, studies the structure of the hair, its thickness, assesses the general condition, and studies the epidermis for contraindications. To prevent electrolysis of hair from leading to undesirable consequences, you need to follow the following recommendations:

1. Rod length. At the time of electrolysis, the consequences of which can be serious, the hairs should be 3-5 mm long. At this stage, all vegetation can be carefully examined and not a single hair is missed. Impulses will pass through the villi. The last time the hair is shaved is 4 days before the appointed date. If the maximum permissible norm is exceeded, they are cut off.
2. Using a scrub. The consequences of electrolysis can be caused by an incorrectly selected scrub. Care is necessary to make the skin softer and the procedure more comfortable. The body is steamed and scrubbed, but a hard sponge is not used so as not to cause redness and itching. The product will remove dead dermal cells.
3. Skin cleansing and disinfection. To prevent infection and other complications before using electricity, cleanse the skin using drugs containing chlorhexidine and miramistin.
4. Anesthesia. Regardless of the chosen method of electrolysis, a drug may be required to reduce the degree of pain. This is especially necessary when working on the chin, intimate area, and armpits. Half an hour before epilation, an anesthetic composition is applied. Among its components should be lidocaine. To accelerate the penetration of substances into the layers of the dermis, an occlusive dressing is applied on top. Before dealing with hair, the cover is thoroughly wiped with damp wipes and then with dry ones.

You should not trust your body to low-quality care products. It is worth buying cosmetics from trusted brands and with components that cannot provoke an allergic reaction. Itching and burning after hair removal combined with allergies is not the best effect.

Consequences and side effects

Scars are the result of burns after electrolysis, the treatment of which depends on your subsequent skin care. This problem may arise if the specialist has set the electric current values ​​too high for you .
Here you can take into account factors such as the doctor’s ability to correctly perform the procedure and the body’s tendency to form scars. Important !
If the consequences in the form of burns or scars after trying electrolysis appear to a fairly strong degree and do not go away for a long time, then it is better to abandon the procedure and replace it with another type of hair removal. The recovery process will also depend on the individual characteristics of the body.

Treatment consists of using various ointments to heal burns:

• "Panthenol";
• "Levomekol";
• "Dermazin".

Often cosmetologists themselves prescribe drugs and procedures to treat the following consequences:

• Small red dots scattered throughout the needle impact area are a normal reaction after electrolysis; they should disappear on their own after some time . Usually this is two weeks, but some people still have white spots that will also go away. Along with the points, most likely, in the first hours after the procedure, irritation or swelling in the affected area will appear. Itching may occur.
• Pigmentation, marks and spots. If after electrolysis you have red dots that do not go away for various reasons, they can grow and become darker. A common cause of enlargement and brown coloration is insufficient care after the procedure. Unfortunately, it is already more difficult to fight them.

Did you know? With the help of the ELOS method, not only pigmentation disappears, but also the skin becomes tightened, acne and unwanted hair disappear.
This procedure helps rejuvenate the skin. There are different ways, depending on the degree of pigmentation and your individual skin characteristics, how to get rid of spots after electrolysis:

• Try using whitening cosmetics or natural products , such as lemon juice. Choose natural anti-spot products that contain an enzyme such as melanozyme, which can remove pigmentation without consequences.
• Bodyaga also has the same bleaching properties, but stimulates hair growth.
• You can overcome pigmentation after electrolysis using chemical peeling with fruit acids both at home and in a cosmetic center, where experienced specialists will help you remove stains without any consequences.

Don’t forget that you can always go to a salon, where they will advise you on a safer method of getting rid of age spots.

Itching. If it is mild, then there is no need to panic, because this is a completely normal skin reaction to irritation.
If after some time you begin to feel that the itching after electrolysis has become unbearable, then under no circumstances should you comb this area. Note! For the first procedure, you buy yourself a needle, with which the doctor will do hair removal only for you throughout the entire course.
He must regularly disinfect it and store it in a protected place. At your request, between procedures, the needle can be with you. To make it subside, you need to anoint the area with special creams, which can be recommended by an hair removal specialist. Most often this is a chlorhexidine solution. You can immediately lubricate the skin area with it. After a while, it should be treated with a mixture of Trichopoloma and calendula tincture.

If you start intensively scratching your skin, you will earn yourself scars and scars , after which the electrolysis procedure will seem like the biggest mistake to you.

Also, as a preventive measure, you should not take bath procedures immediately after hair removal, and avoid the gym and sunbathing. This will help avoid itching.

Swelling and bruising. Most often, swelling appears after electrolysis in the bikini area or on the face. It is these areas that are very painful, and they are pre-treated with a local anesthetic, most often Lidocaine. This happens due to very sensitive skin in these areas.

Sometimes, patients are allergic to Lidocaine, which also causes swelling. A reaction may appear after the procedure is completed. Swelling in the eyebrows, upper and lower lips - all this is normal if the swelling goes away after three days. Otherwise, you should immediately consult a doctor.

If it is an allergy, then you will be prescribed tablets and, possibly, local ointments or tinctures. In order to relieve swelling immediately after the procedure, you need to wipe the area with calendula tincture. To get rid of germs or bacteria, you can use baby powder.

Bruises appear when blood vessels and capillaries are located very close to the skin . The doctor may touch them when piercing them with a needle. If they do not go away for a long time, then you can use special ointments. But before that, it is better to consult your hair removal specialist.

Pimples and sores. After red dots appear, it is better to smear the skin with calendula or Panthenol. This way you can speed up the healing process of the burn. The sores will soon begin to disappear, the skin should become normal color.

But if you tend to take a long time to heal your wounds, don't be alarmed if those red dots continue to bother you for a while.

In order for them to go away as quickly as possible, you need to contact your doctor, who will recommend an ointment that is suitable for you.

Often, clients complain that after electrolysis they have ulcers. This is not the most pleasant sight. This can happen for several reasons:

• lack of hygiene during the procedure itself;
• very thin skin exposed to aggressive electric current and needles;
• very rough skin, which inhibits the growth of new hair and clogs the sebaceous ducts;
• allergies to electric current or hygiene products.

To avoid the appearance of white pimples, you need to ensure that the doctor’s skin and hands are completely disinfected . You can use different ointments, including Panthenol and Levomekol. But it is better to consult a doctor who will write a prescription for treatment and prevention depending on your skin type.

Some people also experience ingrown hairs after electrolysis. The reason for this behavior of the hair is its incorrect or disturbed growth.

If before the procedure you did hair removal using different methods: wax, sugar or a machine, then most likely your hairs have already disrupted the direction of growth. To get rid of this problem, you can take a warm bath and then lightly pry the hair closer to the place where it grows with a needle , which must be wiped with alcohol.

Crust. When the puncture site heals, it will become covered with a crust. It cannot be scratched. It protects the site from infection and speeds up the wound healing process.

Therefore, be patient and wait for the red spots to go away on their own and the skin to return to its healthy state.

How is electric hair removal performed?

The electrolysis process itself is simple. It looks like this:

1. Provides pain relief. For this purpose, local products are used. In some cases, a regular painkiller tablet is suitable. The anesthetic is selected depending on the area of ​​the body where the work is being done.
2. A thin needle is carefully inserted into the follicle. Current is carried across its surface. The best option is tungsten filament. It will not cause burns.
3. The needle and thread will be held until the bulb collapses. The rod is removed using tweezers.

Finally, the surface of the skin is treated with a solution of calendula and hydrogen peroxide.
