Electrolysis Hair Removal – Why Do It?

Ah, the pain! Getting rid of those annoying facial hair, waxing legs (ouch! That ought to hurt!) and shaving armpits… Women really have a hard time taking care of their looks. Being stunningly beautiful all the time has never been an easy task. That’s why many women (and even some men) always wished for a way of getting rid of those annoying hairs once and for all. Well, modern science can help you to make that wish come true. I know of three ways of putting a definitive stop to those painful hair removal sessions, and I’ll try to cover them here.

One of them is to be born hairless. I guess going back in time and asking God for a DNA modification is a little out of the question. Besides, you wouldn’t want to be bald from birth. Those who get bald with old age (or at a very young age) can tell you it’s not a pleasant situation.

The second one would be the laser treatment. It destroys hair color, rendering it practically invisible. If you have really soft and smooth body hair, and if doesn’t grow too long, that certainly could be the solution for you. But if you have thick and needle like hair, or if you tend to look like a Care Bear with each passing day, then it doesn’t matter if it’s discolored or painted blue. People will notice it in one way or another. And if your skin isn’t white as a hospital’s sheet, there’s a good chance you won’t look good with all those discolored hairs covering your body.

And there’s electrolysis hair removal. In fact, it’s the method of permanent hair removal with the highest chances of success. Basically, it consists of applying an electric current to the each hair follicle, in order to destroy its root once and for all. Besides freeing you from your regular torture sessions at the beauty parlor, its results also look better than those you are probably using today. And it’s the only method approved by the FDA for permanent hair removal. But there are some issues, of course, you should consider before submitting to electrolysis hair removal.

Since bodily hair grows in different stages, and since each part of your body will be going through a different growth stage, it might require lots of different sessions to conclude the treatment. Some people may have to go through 15, or even 30 sessions to finish killing those annoying little roots. Things can get even worse if you’ve been waxing or shaving for a long time (like… your whole life), because those methods damages your body’s hair in many different ways, making it harder to reach the roots inside the follicles. Also, if you don’t do it with a real pro, there’s the risk of suffering from skin discoloration, right in the early stages of the treatment. And there are a few cases in which hair starts to grow again some time after the treatment, since, like all esthetical treatments, it’s not 100% guaranteed.

Two other things you should remember: it’s not a painless process, though it hurts a lot less than getting your hairs stripped out all at once; and it may be quite pricey, with every 30 minute session costing about US$ 45.00.

But the chances of obtaining a good result are very high, and many people are willing to take the risk. The benefits, when it works right, are very attractive. The inconveniences you may experience during or after treatment, on the other hand, aren’t really that bad. If you have enough money available, I believe you should give it a shot. You probably would enjoy life without pain.
