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.

First developed over 100 years ago, this method for eliminating body hair can be used on most places where undesirable follicles grow. A fine probe is inserted into each follicle one at a time at the surface of the skin. The growth center of the hair is destroyed by heat energy, and then the loose hairs can be lifted out with tweezers.

Hairs go through several stages of growth in any given area of the body, so it is necessary to attend several sessions in order to achieve the results one would hope for from this treatment. Most people need to come in once every week or two, as needed, but this varies from one person to the next. A session usually takes 15 minutes to one hour to complete.

Some people have a common misconception that electrolysis will hurt, but this is not true of the latest equipment used in most facilities. There can be a minor tingling sensation, and in some places a topical anesthetic will be applied prior to the treatment, further reducing any discomfort. The skin may appear slightly reddened afterwards, but this will not last long.

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.

Upon the client's request, the electrologist should be happy to present evidence of having graduated from an accredited training facility, resulting in him or her being fully certified in this discipline, and if the state requires, also produce a valid license. It can be helpful to ask people one knows if they can recommend an electrologist they are pleased with.

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.
