Electrolysis and Advanced Electrolysis

I use the Apilus Xcell Pur which effectively targets hair blood supply for total destruction while offering comfort the likes of which have yet to be seen in permanent hair removal.  You may feel a very slight and short sensation of the current but should not feel hairs being epilated. Some clients even sleep through their treatment. If you have had electrolysis before you will definitely feel the difference with Apilus XCell Pur.

The sensation you may experience is dependent on many things, including the area treated, which method is being used, medication, and the time of the month. It is much more comfortable than tweezing or waxing. When the current is applied to the follicle it may feel like a pinch or a warm sensation of the current, or may not feel any sensation at all.  You should not feel the probe is inserted into the follicle, nor should you feel a plucking sensation of the hair.  The current used is lightning quick from between 100th to 1000th of a second.  At your consultation, we will find a current which suits you best.

Most clients are pleasantly surprised as the Apilus electrolysis systems are much more comfortable than other systems.

This depends on many factors such as the size of area to be cleared, hair type, location and density of hair growth. Sessions may take between 15 minutes to two hours.  Some areas can take up to 18 months or more to completly clear, this is because it takes that long for all hairs to appear in their cycle. Hormonally induced hair growth as sen in women with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) will also take a longer time period as the slightly elevated levels of androgen triggers hair growth.

Each case is different, it depends on the hair growth, medication, underlying cause of hair growth, the area is being treated and how large that area is.  Imagine there are around 500 hair follicles per square centimeter of skin, the hair growth is in different stages so you may think the same hair has come back a day or two after treatment but this is not the case.

The two most common causes are hereditary factors and the ageing process. Glandular disturbances, pregnancy, stress, certain medications, obesity and anorexia nervosa are other causes of excess hair growth. They stimulate the hormone necessary to grow excess hair. Electrolysis does not cure the causes of excess hair growth but eliminates the effects of the various causes.

Many women suffer with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) which causes excessive hair growth in a male pattern (known as hirsutism) on the face and body.  It is a truly debilitating condition which the exact cause of is unknown but is prone to run in families.  70% of women who suffer with PCOS will have unwanted hair growth affecting the face, chest and buttocks. Shaving daily is a natural occurrence!   This has a huge impact on all aspects of their personal life and health.  Depression and anxiety are the norm!

Unfortunately women with PCOS are not given funding by the NHS to aid with hair removal as it is considered as cosmetic!  This is something that has to change.  I will do my best to help anyone to feel good about themselves and love who looks back at them in the mirror.

Almost anywhere… unwanted hair can be safely removed from most body areas, including hairline, eyebrows, upper and lower lip, cheeks, sideburns, chin, neck, shoulders, arms, underarms, fingers, hands, chest, breasts, abdomen, bikini line, legs, back and toes.

Skin may be slightly red, this is a reaction caused by dilation and congestion of superficial capillaries. Also known as erythema.  Some clients show little effects post-treatment. Body treatments may display tiny pinprick scabbing which may take longer to heal than facial areas. Bruising can occur when small blood vessels leak their contents into the soft tissue beneath the skin. A bruise can also occur from your electrologist’s finger pressure when the electrolysis probe punctures a follicle wall or if you have taken aspirin or other blood thinning medication or supplements.

Your electrolysis treatment will always conclude with Cataphoresis.  This treatment reduces redness, calms, soothes, restores the skin’s pH and prevents infection. Within an hour of Cataphoresis treatment, you will see your skin return back to normal levels.  Cataphoresis is especially beneficial for hypersensitive skin. Written and verbal aftercare will be given after each treatment.

Electrolysis should not result in pitting or scarring. Keeping your skin in good condition is a joint commitment, which will give you the best results and treatment experience possible. Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) may occur in darker skin types. This is not from an electrolysis error but from the nature of these types of skin. PIH usually subsides once the irritation of treatments has been stopped and can take up to a year to disappear. Pigmentation spots known as melasma are unrelated to electrolysis but can become more noticeable once excess hair has been removed.

Most skin damage is caused by digging and picking the skin before and after electrolysis treatments. Chin acne will clear up after electrolysis if it is caused by tweezing of chin hairs. Tweezing contributes to the retention of root sheath remnants and inflames the skin, tweezing can also result in hairs being broken off under the skin to become ingrown to cause chin acne.

Hairs have differing cycles of growth, many of which are not visual on the surface of the skin at the same time. The follicle produces the hair for the blood supply and discards it eventually through shedding. The process of growth, rest and replaced are known as the hair growth cycle. The sequence of events is repeated constantly until a hair ceases to be formed.

During the first trimester it is not advisable to undergo electrolysis. Why? In order to keep sources of stress to a minimum during this high risk period. After the first trimester electrolysis can be performed with short wave diathermy (Thermolysis) only above the neck. Medical clearance is required to ensure the pregnancy is going well and no complications are expected.

In short, yes with written approval from your GP

Electrolysis treats each hair follicle individually to stop another hair growing. Laser tends to treat larger areas using a laser or light based lamp which can stop hair growing for several months before another treatment is needed, hence it is known as hair reduction rather than permanent hair removal.  Laser/IPL is generally sought only when hair reduction is desired but the best and only FDA and British Medical Association approved option for permanent hair removal is electrolysis.  Laser hair removal should never be performed on the face as there is clinical evidence to suggest a condition called Laser Induced Paradoxyical Hypertrichosis (Laser induced hairgrowth).
