All about facial electrolysis

Facial hair is undesirable for many people, especially women. Since this part of the body is hormone-dependent, hair removal is a complex and lengthy procedure. Thanks to modern technologies such as electrolysis, eliminating facial hair has become simple and painless.

The face is the hallmark of a person, in particular a woman. It is normal for men to have wide eyebrows, beards, and gray facial hair. In women, the presence of antennae does not look very beautiful and can ruin delicate features. Facial electrolysis is called hardware method for eliminating unwanted vegetation... It promotes permanent hair removal. The principle of operation of the method is based on the action of an impulse on the hair shaft, while the heating of the hair papilla and its complete destruction are observed.

With multiple sessions, you can achieve the following:

• remove hussar and vellus hairs above the upper lip;
• get rid of light overgrowth on the chin, as well as stitching stubble;
• curb overly thick, bushy eyebrows, giving them a neat and beautiful shape;
• eliminate sideburns;
• change the hairline on the frontal lobe;
• remove unwanted hair from the ears.

In order to achieve the perfect result, you need 5-10 procedures, the interval between which can be about 45 days.

The use of electrolysis has the following advantages:

• permanent hair removal;
• quick visible result;
• the ability to use on different parts of the body.

Users note the following disadvantages of this procedure:

• soreness;
• high price;
• the possibility of negative consequences.

Since electrolysis has been used for many years, several methods of its implementation have been developed, which are selected individually in each case.

The tweezers method involves electrode hair removal. In this case, use a special device that resembles a pair of tweezers. With this procedure, the master captures each of the separately grown hairs. After capture, a destructive current acts on the bulb.

In this case, a small electrode needle with a thickness of 0.01 cm is used to eliminate facial hair. Unlike tweezers, this method is characterized by speed and demand.

Needle electrolysis can be performed using the following types of devices:

• needle with golden the coating is suitable for patients with sensitive skin and a tendency to allergies;
• needle with Teflon the coating is characterized by a low pain threshold;
• needle with medical alloy can be used for normal skin.

There are four ways to perform the facial hair removal procedure.

1. Thermolysis... The method is based on the use of high-frequency current, which is characterized by instant heating, as a result of which the destruction of the follicles occurs. This painful procedure can leave scarring on the skin.
2. Electrolysis implies the use of a continuous current flow. A needle is inserted into the hair follicle, which directs sodium ions into the hair. With the help of the latter, an alkali is formed, which eliminates the hairline. Electrolysis work is time-consuming, but it can destroy ingrown hairs.
3. Flash thermolysis. The operation of this method is similar to thermolysis, the only difference is the use of a current with a frequency of 2000 kHz. This quick and painless method is not recommended by specialists for the facial area.
4. Blend implies something in between thermolysis and electrolysis, for this reason it has a lot of advantages. Hair removal using a blend is quick and painless.

In order to get the desired effect of electrolysis and avoid negative consequences, careful preparation will be required.

1. Initially, it is worth choosing a suitable clinic. Such an institution must have a license, and the masters must have certificates and work experience in this area from 5 years.
2. A few months before the session, you need to limit yourself from other methods of hair removal, which damage the hair follicle. These include shugaring, waxing, depilation using various creamy substances.
3. Do not forget that for electrolysis, the hairs should be 2-3 mm long.
4. It is forbidden to visit the solarium and the beach 7 days before the procedure. Otherwise, it can lead to the formation of lightened skin areas.
5. Before going for facial hair removal, it is recommended to do exfoliation. Such an event will relieve dead scales and make epilation easier and better.
6. A couple of hours before visiting the salon, you can take a hot bath.

Before removing hair on the forehead, above the upper lip and other facial areas, it is worth listening carefully to the master. He must tell about the peculiarities of the procedure, clarify the possible negative consequences and answer all the questions that have arisen.

Let's list the stages of electrolysis.

1. The patient takes comfortable position in the beauty chair.
2. Master handles leather antiseptic.
3. Any of the selected options is applied anesthetic. It can be gel, spray, cream. Subcutaneous injection is also possible. Drugs for subcutaneous administration include lidocaine, novocaine, or some other drug to which the patient is not allergic. Anesthesia is performed 30 minutes before the start of electrolysis.
4. The master opens the needle only in front of the customer... The best option is a single use of one needle. In some cases, it is possible to use one attribute throughout the entire procedure, but only if it is constantly disinfected.
5. The doctor determines a point on the face and inserts a needle into it, in this case, an electric charge must be supplied.
6. A hair with a destroyed bulb taken out with tweezers.
7. All of the above manipulations are carried out for each unwanted hair.

After cosmetic procedures, including electrolysis, the skin needs special care.

People who have used this method of getting rid of hair should adhere to these rules:

• do not visit saunas, baths, swimming pools, gyms for 7 days after electrolysis, as this can lead to excessive sweating, leading to inflammatory processes of the skin;
• prevent friction of the face and clothing;
• in the first 24 hours after the cosmetic surgery, you cannot wet the treated areas;
• do not rip off or comb the formed crusts;
• do not use cosmetics for 48 hours after electrolysis;
• do not sunbathe for 14 days;
• regularly treat your face with an antiseptic, lotion or other healing agents recommended by the master.

Despite the fact that electrolysis is considered a safe cosmetic procedure, it should be carried out exclusively by a specialist. Otherwise, such an event may cause negative consequences.

1. Staining and scarring. They may appear unexpectedly, but they will disappear within a few weeks.
2. The manifestation of allergic reactions that go away rather quickly.
3. Bringing infections. This is the worst consequence that can occur after electrolysis.

The appearance of acne, redness, itching occurs often after removing unwanted hairs.
