Gray hair and Electrolysis

frustrated electrolysed for long hour still no results???

• Due to a stressful marriage, I went grey pretty early, and that makes electrolysis difficult because grey hairs take longer to zap, I've been getting electrolysis for 10 years.  I can get away without shaving because it's pretty light, but I know it's there, and it ruins any chance of intimacy. 

grey hair is also an normal hair with roots but without pigment, what happens here is there are 100 of hair and they will be in a different stages, electrolysis burns of the roots and the bulge causing a scar over there, but the scar will not be visible, cause it heals from inside out

have you seen hair on deep scar???...it is impossible, when you treated the hair in its early stage and along with root and bulge effectively there is no chance of hair growth over there

once the process of greying starts, with some time gap each and every other hair starts turning to grey

avoid the cause and stop the grey

stress comes under environmental mechanisms, can be of any reason, but you have to remember by stretching problems leads to pool of troubles, better try to find a solution or avoid it as much as possible, 

If you treat hair without treating your stress, its of no use, stress imbalances your natural process in your body leading to excess growth of free radicles and minimizes antioxidants leading to cell damage and hormonal imbalances, which leads to unnecessary hair growth

so breathe more oxygen and let out more carbon ( breathing exercises) spend some pleasant time, walk for 1hour a day, they all helps a lot and reduce the hair growth in natural way, then you can revisit your electrologist to treat your hair

Treat the hair till it froths by using more of galvanic and less of thermolysis

Intake of antioxidants also helps

If you can say good bye to your stress then you can treat your hair successfully

let harry drink water, and let cathy shampoo her hair, and let dick paint the house

Difference between Microblading and Permanent Make up

Both comes under cosmetic tattoo

Permanent make up
It is done with the pen which works on electromagnet or battery system,
The needle moves up and down automatically and speed can be adjusted according to the nature of the skin, and need to be repeated for three to four times to get the perfect lines
Micro dots are created on the skin
Procedure performed within the actual brow hair and shape
Should be done with less pressure,,with to and fro motion
Done within the first layer of the skin
It peels for a week time
It looks dark and dramatic just after the procedure and looks natural after it peels
Shape and lines remains same even after the peeling, touch up done after a month, only if any adjustments needed
Thin and soft pigments are used
Hair growth stimulation is seen due to the repeated needle pricks

Pigment become more softer as years passes, Touch up is needed may be after 2 to 3 years

Microblading

A row of needles used to insert the pigment into the skin manually within the first layer of the skin
Needle moved from down to up by moving hands down to upside and done only one or two times
once the shape created, pigment pasted over the lines and keep for 30 minutes for the better absorption
cuts are created on the skin
Most of the technicians stick to rounded or rocket shaped brows
Should be done by applying pressure at the bottom and floated over the ends
Done within the first layer of the skin
Peels for a week time
very few lines will be visible and looks faded, each and every line is drawn again to get the perfect look
looks natural even immediately after the procedure
Highly pigmented and thick textured pigments are used

all lines fades off and leaves the shadow of the pigment within 6 months and touch up may needed every six months

the reason behind this is the thicker pigments used for shading purpose and to define the lines thin pigments are used

creativity plays a big role in both ways

happy blading or microneedling, both are invented just to bring smile on your face

Procedure summary - need to know before you go for electrolysis hair removal

The concept of using electric current for hair removal has been available since 130 years and has been improving ever since. Electrolysis treatments are a form of electrical epilation where a minute needle is inserted into the hair follicle (a natural opening in the skin) and a minimal amount of current is delivered to base of the follicle to destroy it through a variety of modalities.

All modalities will affect only the active hair follicle, making this a direct route to target unwanted hair. It is imperative that we treat hairs in the correct cycle. The desired stage is when hairs are first growing.

Galvanic Electrolysis - The direct current is used, extremely effective but very slow. It creates a chemical change in the follicle to disable the root.

Thermolysis –Uses shortwave radio frequency or AC current. Causes the water molecules in your hair to rapidly vibrate, which produces heat. When enough heat is created, damages the cells that cause hair growth.

Blend Electrolysis – This method combines both galvanic and thermolysis into one process. The heat from thermolysis heats up the chemical created in galvanic and speeds up the process.

BeforeYourTreatment

 If you are going to be treating sun-exposed areas, apply sun block (at least SPF 30) each morning for one month before treatment.

 Refrain from bleaching, plucking, threading, or waxing of hairs in desired treatment area for six

Weeks. Its fine to cut, shave or trim the area.

 If you have a history of herpes or cold sores, you may need antiviral medication. This medication should be started one day before treatment and continued for one week after treatment.

 The area for treatment needs to have the hair showing to a short stubble or longer.

 Arrive with the treatment area clean and free of makeup (if treating the face) if possible.

and drink enough water to keep yourself hydrated

PostTreatment Care

 cleanse the area with a mild antiseptic solution, and avoid using soaps or abrasive material for at least 24 hours post-treatment.

 Treat the area gently by keeping the skin moist with skin Healing Ointment / aleovera gel/ antibiotic cream for a few days. Your skin heals from the bottom up so this assists with healing.

 do not pick, rub or scratch the area. Do not use any irritating substances on the treated area until the skin returns to normal.

 If the treated area will be exposed to sun, apply SPF30 or greater

 If your face was treated, you may resume using clean makeup

 If pustules appear, apply hydrogen peroxide, for swelling or redness-apply ice wrapped in plastic

 occasionally scab may appear after few days of treatment and it will fall off by itself

ELECTROLYSIS FAQ

What is electrolysis?

Electrolysis is a process where a fine needle is passed through the natural hair openings and destructs whole follicle by producing heat and chemical process. Re growth is prevented

Will electrolysis work for me?

It works on all types of skin and hair types or colors

Science behind the electrolysis

Small electric current passed through fine needle destroys the dermal papillae, the matrix, and the bulge of the hair follicle completely to give you silky smooth skin

Is all electrolysis hair removal system is same?

The machines differs from manual to digital in technology but electrology remains the same, there is three modalities like galvanic (direct current produces a chemical reaction) thermolysis (alternative current produces heat) and blend method which combines both, they all results in permanent hair removal

Present technology saves time and more effective

Does it have any side effects?

Immediately after procedure, there may be a temporary redness, which varies with each individual

How long will electrolysis session takes?

It ranges from 15minutes to more than hour depends on the area and quantity of hair

Does it hurt?

Very minimal, u can feel heat or like a sting when current is applied, each individual has different tolerance level

What about scabbing?

There may be few scabs when galvanic is used with high units, but they fall off in few days to months

What can I do to reduce the discomfort?

Most people get more relaxed with each treatment, some takes pain killer before the procedure, and topical anesthetics can be used to reduce the discomfort, but not necessary

What will be the after care?

Antibiotic creams, Soothing gels, cold packs can be applied for 3 to 5days to speed up the healing process. Avoid makeup and sun bathe for 48hr

Are there any possibilities of infection?

The treated area will be prone to infections as the follicle will be open for 24 hr, so don’t touch it frequently, after care should be followed properly to prevent any further infections

How many sessions are needed to achieve complete hair removal?

Several months to year, depend on the area to be treated

What to do when there is noticeable hair in between the sessions?

U can shave them or cut them

Is electrolysis expensive?

It is a very inexpensive way to solve an unwanted hair problem permanently and cost will be much less in the long run compare to other never ending process

Electrolysis: permanent hair removal process     

Electrolysis is a classic method of removing hair permanently by inserting a very fine needle into the natural opening of the hair follicle and a minute amount of electricity is applied to the base of the hair follicle, which accelerates chemical process (galvanic) and generates heat (thermolysis) to destroy the follicle completely

The other methods of temporary hair removal like waxing, threading, shaving, may result in ingrown hair, discoloration, irritations and rapid hair growth

The hair growth cycle has three stages like growth, resting and replacement, it is initiated by blood supply, when hair follicle is destroyed along with the blood supply, then only one can achieve permanent hair removal

The latest technology has made electrolysis more comfortable and effective than before, it works on all skin and hair types. Can be applied on most sensitive areas like eyebrows, ears, around nipples, pigmented area, moles and hair line without disturbing the skin alignments with minimal discomfort

Electrolysis Treatment will be programmed according to hair growth cycle, quantity, structure of the hair and depends on underlying causes like hormonal, heredity, stress factors. It varies to each individual and also the area to be treated

Some people are afraid of needles, but you have to keep in mind that the needle size is exactly of your hair size and needle is inserted through your natural hair openings, nothing is punctured or injected and also skin will not be bruised

Any medical issues like diabetes, thyroid, blood pressure, heart problems will not be affected by electrolysis, may impede healing process in some cases; hormonal issues may need more sessions to combat permanent hair removal 

Electrolysis can be efficiently used to treat grey, blonde, brown hairs permanently
