What Causes Excess Hair?
Hirsutism is a condition in which there is excessive growth of hair on the face or body. It can occur in both men and women without discrimination and is caused by hair follicles that are overly sensitive to male hormones (called androgens). It can also be caused by abnormally high levels of these hormones.
How Much Hair Can Be Removed in One Treatment?
The amount of hair that can be removed in one treatment depends upon the sensitivity of the patient, the skin, and the proficiency of the electrologist.
Can Hair Be Removed From a Mole?
The electrologist should check insurance coverage and state regulations before treating a mole. A physician's permission should also be obtained to protect the health of the patient. These precautions are presently necessary because treating moles is still controversial. There is no recorded damage due to treatment of a mole, and many insurance companies now cover this treatment. In fact after treating moles (in 90% of cases) color disappears in 2 to 4 months, leaving the skin in perfect condition.
How Many Treatments Does It Take?
Many hairs will be eliminated with only one treatment, but some will need two or more treatments to achieve permanency. Electrolysis involves a series of treatments over a period of 1-3 months. The overall length of time depends on the amount of hair, its coarseness, the cause of the excess hair, but once the dermal papilla has been eliminated, the hair is dead and will not grow again.
Is it Hard to Insert the Needle?
No, the insertion of the electrolysis probe is much easier and far less intimidating than most people believe. The "needle" is actually a blunt-ended, highly flexible probe which never pierces the skin. There is no blood (or pain) involved. It slides effortlessly down a pre-existing shaft, like a hand into a glove.
Is Electrolysis Painful?
Electrolysis rarely causes discomfort. If it does, adjustments can be made to the machine which will totally eliminate any sensation. The sensation is less than in tweezing. Most patients are surprised as they expect to feel much more. Some patients even relax enough to fall asleep.
