Electrolysis Hair Removal For Men

With Male Hair Removal, there maybe some areas of your body where you want the hair removed permanently. So what are your options? Whilst waxing and laser hair treatment can give long lasting effects, only Electrolysis is considered the hair removal method that can provide permanent hair removal, although you will require a number of sessions to get this effect. Electrolysis does not provide 100% permanent hair removal for everybody, but most people will get great results.

Male Hair Removal using Electrolysis works by applying an electrical current, down a metal needle that destroys the hair follicle at its root. Since your hair has various stages of growth, and you hair is never at the same level of growth at any one stage, you require a number of sessions to get the best effect. What you are trying to do is apply the electrolysis at the key "growth" stage of the hair being treated.

There are basically three types of Electrolysis, and these are galvanic, thermolysis and blend. Here comes the science....

Galvanic (or basically Electrolysis) works by chemically destroying the lower part of your hair follicle. The needle is used to apply a small electrical current to create a chemical reaction between the body's salt and water in the follicle to produce Sodium Hydroxide, also known as Lye. The Lye works by destroying the tissue that surrounds the hair follicle and this then restricts any future growth.

Thermolysis utilises heat to destroy the hair follicle. A High Frequency, short wave signal is fired at the water, found naturally in the body's cell. This causes the water molecules to vibrate, and the subsequent friction causes heat which destroys the follicle.

The Blend applies the two methods above. This can either be done at the same time or sequentially. Also, by heating Lye you increase its overall effectiveness and it can penetrate the surrounding tissue of the follicle

The great benefit of Electrolysis, for most people, is the permanent results. If you have certain areas of your body that you want to get rid of the hair for good, say the back, then electrolysis can work really well. In addition to this it is a great technique for a range of different skin and hair types. So if laser treatment does not work so well with your hair colour or skin type, then Electrolysis may be the answer.As with every male hair removal method, there are always pros and cons. One of the draw backs is that this therapy is not about one session. For it to be really effective you have to have quite a lot of electrolysis sessions. Each session will last 30 to 40 Min's, depending on the bit of the body being treated. This of course, all costs money.

From a pain perspective, it is like having a very small, sharp tingling sensation for each hair. While laser treatment can deal with a number of hairs at once, Electrolysis is done one hair at a time, so while the pain is mild to tingling, that is the feeling you will have for every single hair follicle that needs attention.

Further, Electrolysis does not always work well where the hair is damaged. If you have hair follicles that have become bent due to using tweezers, or waxing, then it can be difficult to get at the root of the hair. This is crucial if you are to destroy the hair follicle.
