Electrolysis treatment has significantly evolved with the introduction of the Apilus technology from Dectro. This advanced technology has made electrolysis virtually pain-free and expedient, eliminating the prolonged and distressing experience of earlier methods. While laser hair removal is gaining popularity as a pain-free and permanent hair removal solution, it may not be effective in eliminating light, blonde, ginger, grey, or white hair, as it requires pigment to work effectively.
Electrolysis remains the preferred hair removal method for individuals seeking a permanent solution for light-colored or unpigmented hair. Additionally, electrolysis is the only method for permanently shaping eyebrows or removing hair from inaccessible areas such as the ears and nose, where laser treatment cannot reach.
Another significant advantage of electrolysis is its efficacy in treating ingrown hairs. For instance, men who experience ingrown hairs in their beards often undergo electrolysis to alleviate the pain and avoid infections, which could lead to severe complications such as the need for surgical removal.
In summary, Apilus electrolysis technology offers a virtually painless and swift hair removal solution for individuals seeking to eliminate light-colored or unpigmented hair, shape their eyebrows, or treat ingrown hairs
It is essential to understand that every individual is unique, and hair growth patterns vary by body area, growth rate, and cycle frequency. The electrologist must wait for all the growth cycles to complete before treating the hair follicle effectively. It is crucial for the hair to be actively growing to identify the follicle and insert the probe correctly. Depending on the hair's stage at the time of treatment, only a part of the hair may be visible, which is why the treatment may take 12-18 months to complete.
If you have undergone laser hair removal within the last year, you may experience prolonged sporadic hair regrowth. The good news is that most hair will grow within the first 3-6 months. Consequently, you will likely require longer and more frequent sessions at the beginning of the treatment, which tapers off to infrequent and short sessions until there is no more hair.
During your initial consultation, our electrologist will gather your hair removal history, including the types of methods you have used in the past, your skin and hair types, lifestyle, and budget. Based on these factors, a personalized treatment plan will be designed for you.
In summary, hair growth patterns vary by individual and body area, and it is essential to wait for all the growth cycles to be completed before treating the hair follicle effectively. Moreover, our electrologist will tailor a personalized treatment plan based on your hair removal history
Electrolysis is a versatile treatment that can be used to remove hair from all areas of the body. However, the hair must be visible for the treatment to be effective.
Please note that medical clearance from your GP is necessary to treat hairs growing from moles. For facial areas, such as the upper lip, chin, sideburns, ears, nose, and eyebrows, electrolysis can be used to achieve permanent shaping.
Other popular areas for electrolysis treatment include the fingers, toes, underarms, bikini area, face (for full beards or stray chin hairs), nipples, and genitals.
Clients with non-pigmented hair, or blonde, ginger, grey, or white hair, require electrolysis treatments from the start, as laser treatments are only effective on dark hair.
Electrolysis is a highly versatile method that is effective on all skin types and hair textures, making it an ideal choice for any individual seeking permanent hair removal. It can be performed on any area of the body with precision and accuracy, ensuring optimal results every time. Unlike other hair removal methods, there is no downtime or recovery time required, and clients can resume their normal activities immediately after a session.
Once the treatment is completed, there is no need for any further maintenance, saving time and money in the long run. Electrolysis does not involve the use of harsh chemicals, making it a safe and natural alternative. With a proven track record of success, electrolysis offers the best overall results compared to other hair removal methods, ensuring that clients are left with smooth, hair-free skin.
The success of electrolysis treatment depends on several factors, including whether the hair is hormonal or if it has been previously waxed, lasered or plucked. The area of the body that requires treatment also plays a role.
Hair growth rates vary across the body, with hair on the head growing for up to three years before falling out, while leg hair may only last for 12 weeks. As a result, it may take up to 12 weeks for all the hairs on the legs to become visible before they can be treated. Stubborn hairs may require multiple treatments.
Following the suggested treatment plan, you can expect to be hair-free in the treated area within 12-18 months.
