How Electrolysis Works:
There are three Modalities used in Electrology:
Galvanic: The original electrolysis modality, is applied via direct current, resulting in a chemical change of salt & water to lye surrounding the hair follicle.
Thermolysis: Also known as radio- or high-frequency, uses alternating current to provide heat in the follicle.
Blend: A combination of the direct & alternating action occur together or sequentially in the follicle, since the advent of computerized epilators. There are many nuances to these current applications.
An electrolysis treatment involves the inserting of a sterile probe, the same size as the hair, into the hair follicle opening down to the dermal papilla. The dermal papilla is the part of the hair follicle that contains the blood and nerves that feeds the growing hair. If the papilla and regenerative cells surrounding the hair are destroyed, the hair will die. When the probe is in place, a low-level electrical current is applied that loosens the hair and the hair is then removed. Many hairs will be eliminated with only one treatment, but some hairs will require more treatments to achieve permanency. the length of time depends on many factors, but once the dermal papilla has been eliminated, the hair is dead and will not grow again.
