All of us were excited when shaving or waxing for the first time. The excitement may have continued for a few years. Then we reach a stage where we lose the excitement completely and find it boring and a time and money waster. We wish for a permanent solution to prevent the regrowth of hair. The answer to this problem is electrolysis.
What is it?
If you are tired of shaving or waxing, then electrolysis may be your best solution. The procedure works on zapping the hair roots with a charged needle, one hair follicle at a time. Unlike shaving or waxing, which only gets rid of the hair you see on the skin surface, electrolysis goes after the hair where it starts. You can also get devices to do electrolysis hair removal at home. If you are interested, check out the post on Ulike blog for the reviews of best electrolysis products in the market.
Why choose the electrolysis technique for hair removal?
Permanency
Waxing and creams are temporary fixes. They get rid of hair for a bit but grow back. It means you are constantly dealing with it. Electrolysis is different. It is like removing the hair issue from its source. It zaps the hair from its follicle, so it can’t return!
Precision and versatility
Electrolysis is super versatile because it can be safely used on any body part. The procedure takes times, but the results are nearly permanent in most cases. It does not cause any pain and is not as messy as using creams or wax.
Suitable for all hair and skin types
Electrolysis is like a hair removal superhero! It works on all hair types, no matter how fine or light. Waxing and creams often struggle with light hairs, but electrolysis doesn’t care – it destroys them all!
Getting started with electrolysis at home
- Research and buy a good electrolysis device. Look for a good FDA-approved home electrolysis device with good reviews.
- Before you start the device, read the instructions. It is important to know how your device works and how to adjust the power. Start low and slow to avoid getting red skin.
- Wash the area with mild soap and water, then pat it dry; trim it a little if the hair is too long. Please don’t use creams or lotions because they can mess with electrolysis.
- When it’s time to zap, wipe the needle with the rubbing alcohol. With steady hands, carefully insert the needle into the hair root, pointing it in the same direction as the hair. You may feel a small pinch when zapping. The dead hair can be removed by a pucker or tweezer. You may need to zap again if the hair doesn’t puck off easily.
Taking care after the zap session
After every electrolysis session, be gentle on your skin. Cleanse the area with antiseptic solution and apply soothing gel. Stay indoors, away from sunlight for least 24-hours. Avoid harsh skin care products!
Patience is key
Electrolysis needs multiple sessions. Hair grows in cycle, so you will need multiple sessions to target all the hair in their growth phase. Stick with the routine and over time, you will notice a remarkable decrease in unwanted hair.
