What is Electrolysis? Electrolysis is the process of removing hair permanently by destroying the hair growing cells (papilla) with an electric current. Access to the papilla is made by inserting a very fiine filament into the hair follicle. Through this fine instrument is transmitted a regulated and controlled electrical current from a highly sophisticated machine known as an Epilator. The electric current cauterizes the papilla, thus rendering it impossible to grow more hair. This process is performed by a highly trained professional known as an Electrologist. Electrolysis Works! Electrolysis worked in 1875. Nearly a century and a quarter later.. it still works. Ever since Dr. Charles Michele, a French ophthalmologist practicing in St. Louis, first utilized a delicate needle to conduct electrical current to remove an eyelash, electrolysis has been recognized as the only method of permanent hair removal. In fact, electrolysis is still the only proven safe method of permanent hair removal recommended by the American Medical Association. Even the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognized this fact when it stopped virtually every other method of hair removal from claiming permanency. Electrology is the singular profession to practice permanent hair removal. Electrolysis has been proven safe and effective for many generations. Modern equipment is refined and computerized. Probes are disposable, manufactured delicate, highly polished and sterile. Electrolysis is nothing like the image portrayed by alternative temporary methods of hair removal. In fact, it is comfortable, safe and results in a well-pleased clientele with beautifully smooth, hair-free skin. Electrology is a well respected health care profession receiving physician referrals and medical interaction. The professional electrologist is well educated in every phase of the practice of electrolysis. Skills are honed to include service delivery in a clinical environment and training in recognizing symptoms of systemic diseases. Very often the electrologist is the first health care professional to observe a visible symptom of an underlying health problem. Through observation of the skin, the presentation of superfluous hair growth and the information of a patient's medical case history, the professional electrologist is schooled to offer the appropriate referral to those who exhibit a need for additional medical care. The total patient/client is considered when excess hair growth is being addressed in an electrology office. In a safe, professional environment utilizing universal precautions, the electrolysis consumer can be assured of the best in quality care.

Sugaring and Waxing When a large area presents with a need for hair removal and the patient needs a fast answer to the problem, we offer temporary treatments of waxing and sugaring. Waxing: A warm soothing application of azulene cream is applied to the skin. A small strip of muslin is pressed on the area and then removed. The unwanted hair is embedded in the wax and is removed via the muslin strip, leaving the skin smooth and hair free. Pressure is then applied to the area in order to minimize the discomfort. Sugaring: A paste of honey, lemon and water is applied to the skin and then is gently flicked off removing the hair with it. This method is kinder to the skin than waxing, because it is applied at body temperature. The sugar paste only adheres to dead epithelial cells and the hairs. It leaves the skin smooth and silky. It has antibacterial properties and is non-allergenic. In fact, it was used by the civil war soldiers for a wound dressing in order to prevent bacterial action from taking place.
