Guide To Electrolysis Hair Removal Bakersfield Customers Will Find Useful

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.

Hairs go through several stages of growth in any given area of the body, so it is necessary to attend several sessions in order to achieve the results one would hope for from this treatment. Most people need to come in once every week or two, as needed, but this varies from one person to the next. A session usually takes 15 minutes to one hour to complete.

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.

This is the only method for permanent hair removal that has been recognized by the American Medical Association and the Food and Drug Administration. "Electric tweezers" is a different technique which provides only temporary results, in spite of what it may claim. Home electrolysis kits for sale are generally less effective and it's not a good idea for those who are not trained in this discipline to attempt it.

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.

Choosing an electrologist who is not only highly professional and experienced is important, but so is selecting someone whom one feels at ease with, if the candidate does not meet these criteria, it's best to keep looking around. The facility where the procedure is performed should be kept very clean, with gloves and disposable probes used each time. Verifying that only needle electrolysis is practiced is also essential, since this is the only permanent technique.
