Important Facts About Electrolysis Hair Removal Bakersfield Clients Will Find Interesting

By Karina Frost


Many people are troubled by the growth of unwanted hair in various areas of the body such as the face, legs, and bikini line. While there are different methods that can be used to eliminate this problem, electrolysis is one of the most effective and permanent ones. If considering electrolysis hair removal Bakersfield customers should first learn what's involved and how it is important to find a competent electrologist.

In use for more than a century, this procedure involves inserting a tiny probe into each follicle, one by one just at the surface of the skin. Heat energy is released which destroys the follicular growth centers, the loose hair can then be removed with tweezers.

Several sessions are most often needed for the majority of clients since follicles do not grow in a uniform manner, but rather at varying rates, so it's necessary to treat the area multiple times in order to eliminate all of them. Once every week or two weeks is common, but this depends on the client and the area being treated. Sessions range from 15 minutes to an hour in length.

Some people are apprehensive and fear that it will be painful, however with today's modern equipment, this is not the case. The most discomfort one can typically expect is a slight tingling sensation, and it does not have any long-term side effects either, just a temporary reddening of the skin. Sometimes a topical anesthetic is applied first to reduce any discomfort even more.

Electrolysis is the only method of permanent hair removal recognized by the Food and Drug Administration and American Medical Association. The "electric tweezer" is a similar method, but is not the same thing and unlike electrolysis, it does not produce permanent results. Devices marketed for home use should also be avoided as they are less effective and not always safe to use by non-professionals.

An electrologist is a professional technician who has taken an approved instructional course in this field. Clients must make sure that the individual they choose to perform this procedure meets this requirement and ideally has a reasonable amount of experience treating customers as well.

The electrologist should provide evidence of being fully certified by an accredited institution, and if required by the state, a license. Asking people one knows if they can recommend someone they are happy with, is a good way to make the search easier. Some clinics offer a free consultation which serves as the ideal opportunity to ask the electrologist about his or her experience, training, and other details one may want to know about the procedure.

One must also feel at ease with the electrologist and confident in his or her professionalism and abilities, if not, it's advisable to look elsewhere. Making sure that they only use needle electrolysis is important, as some clinics use another method such as electric tweezers that is not permanent. The place should be very clean and follow sanitary practices such as wearing gloves and using disposable probes for each client.
