QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

How old is the process of Electrolysis?


True electrolysis dates back to 1875. One of America's first electrolysis practices was founded by D.J. Mahler in Providence, Rhode Island in 1880. It was Mr. Mahler who later went on to found The Insantron Company.

How does electrolysis remove hair?

A complete description is lengthy and highly technical, but basically, the electrologist directs tiny, split-second impulse down to the hair root, destroying it so that it can never produce another hair.

What part of the body can benefit from electrolysis?

Every part of the body except inside of the nose and the ears. In fact, electrolysis is so cost-effective a procedure that relatively large areas of the body, such as areas of the back, arms and legs, may be treated with limited of time and budget.

Are needles used in electrolysis?

A very special type of needle, developed specifically for electrolysis is used.

Is electrolysis painful?

The split-second sensation is less than tweezing or waxing. You can hardly tell the probe tip is being inserted. The tiny current destroys the hair root.

Is electrolysis really permanent?

Yes. Foremost medical authorities agree that electrolysis, (the basis of the INTANTRON method) is the only positive and permanent way to remove hair. By all means ask your doctor about it.

What causes the growth of extra hair?

Usually it can be traced to heredity or glandular disturbance. Some type types of illnesses, operations and medications may also be factors.

Can't I just use depilatories to get rid of hair?

Yes. But this is only a temporary method. As with razors and tweezers, hair grows back within a few days. So you're not helping yourself a bit. Depilatories also have an unpleasant odor, take time to use, and are a continuos expense.

What if hair seems to return while I'm being treated?

Your own previous attempt to remove hair will be the reason for this, as hair usually takes one to fourteen weeks to regrow. In other words, the growth will be hair that had not yet appeared when you started treatment. But electrolysis will remove it. Permanently.

What can I do about heavy growth of hair between treatments?

You can safely cut hairs in or near the area being treated. But leave enough hair for your electrologist to treat and remove. Do not tweeze or use depilatories or bleach.

Can I have all of my hairs removed at the same time?

That depends on individual growths. If they are heavy, your electrologist will probably recommend a series of treatments. But they are over so quickly, you can even have them on your lunch hour.

How about healing?

Healing after electrolysis is generally rapid, with no signs of the treatment remaining on the skin. Occasionally, you may have temporary redness, but it will quickly disappear with your own after-treatment, as directed by your electrolysis.

What is the right age for electrolysis?

Any age is right. Of course we recommend that in the cases of preteens and individuals over 65, a physician should be consulted before treatment begins.

Is electrolysis expensive?

As compared with many other beauty treatments, the cost is moderate. It's a small price to pay for a lifetime of freedom from unsightly, unwanted hair. Don't you think you owe it to yourself to look into electrolysis now?

Is electrolysis sought by, and effective, on both genders?

Electrolysis treatments are equally effective on men and women. For as long as electrolysis records have been kept (going back to the late 1800's and the files of Daniel J. Mahler), men as well as women have sought out the services of professional electrolysis.

Are electrolysis given special training to deal with men?

Very little "special" training is necessary. Hairs grow in the same manner regardless of gender. Any man considering electrolysis should feel secure in the knowledge that he will be treated with the same skills and sensitivity offered to women.

Recently I have read about "alternative" hair removal machines and methods. Are they safe? Are they effective?

Electrolysis is the ONLY PERMANENT HAIR REMOVAL METHOD available today. Beware the clever (and sometimes not so clever) claims of would-be competitors. In 1988, manufacturers of the electric tweezers, an unscientific and temporary method, were forbidden by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission from claiming that their machine could effect permanent hair removal. Such a statement was deemed to be "false and misleading" by the U.S. Government.
AND MORE RECENTLY... THE FDA HAS RESTRICTED LASER MANUFACTURERS OF MAKING ANY CLAIMS OF PERMANENT HAIR REMOVAL. ALSO, LASERS SEEM TO BE NO MORE EFFECTIVE THAN WAXING, BLEACHING, SHAVING, PLUCKING AND ELECTRIC TWEEZERS.

How about those inexpensive home use machines sold in the major department stores and though the mail?

Quite simply, they afford temporary, usually painful, costly and ultimately in effective hair removal. There is no comparison to electrolysis as performed by a highly trained electrologist.

ON THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER STERILIZATION

As health care professional, electrologist remain committed to insuring the health and safety of their patients. Accordingly, electrologist maintain the highest possible standards for the sterilization of needles and all other instruments used in their practice.

THE USE OF PRE-STERILIZED DISPOSABLE ELECTROLYSIS NEEDLES REMAIN THE ONLY FOOLPROOF WAY TO DELIVER SAFE, STERILE TREATMENT. THESE PROBES ARE AVAILABLE IN ALL SIZES AND CONFIGURATIONS, AND AT COST-EFFECTIVE (FOR PRACTITIONER AND PATIENT ALIKE) PRICES. AUTOCLAVES AND DRY HEAT STERILIZERS REMAIN THE ONLY STERILIZATION DEVICES SAFE ENOUGH TO BE RECOMMENDED FOR USE BY ALL HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS, INCLUDING ELECTROLOGIST. INTRUMENTS STERILIZED IN THESE MACHINES INCLUDES TWEEZERS AND OTHER TREATMENT DELIVERY SUPPLIES, INCLUDING REUSABLE NEEDLES. PLEASE NOTE, HOWEVER, THAT PRE-STERILIZED DISPOSABLE NEEDLES ARE SINGLE PATIENT USE AND THEY ARE DISPOSED OF AT THE END OF THAT CLIENTS HAIR REMOVAL SESSION.
