Information About Electrolysis Hair Removal Bakersfield Clients Should Know

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.

This technique is a way of removing individual hairs safely from most areas of the body and permanently gets rid of the hair. It has been used for over 100 years and consists of inserting a fine probe into the individual follicles at the skin's surface. Heat energy destroys the growth center of each follicle and the hairs are then removed using tweezers.

The follicles grow at differing rates from one another and pass through several stages, which necessitates multiple treatment sessions in order to fully eliminate the section of hair. Clients may need to have it done weekly or bi-weekly on average. Session lengths can range from 15 minutes to an hour.

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.

Electrolysis is the only method of permanent hair removal recognized by the Food and Drug Administration and American Medical Association. The "electric tweezer" is a similar method, but is not the same thing and unlike electrolysis, it does not produce permanent results. Devices marketed for home use should also be avoided as they are less effective and not always safe to use by non-professionals.

This is a treatment which should only be administered by a professional electrologist, which is a person who has been trained to perform this procedure. Therefore it is the responsibility of the client to ensure that the person he or she chooses has the necessary credentials and experience before receiving treatment.

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.

One must also feel at ease with the electrologist and confident in his or her professionalism and abilities, if not, it's advisable to look elsewhere. Making sure that they only use needle electrolysis is important, as some clinics use another method such as electric tweezers that is not permanent. The place should be very clean and follow sanitary practices such as wearing gloves and using disposable probes for each client.
