History of Electrolysis For over 130 years, electrolysis has been and remains the only 100% hair removal method recognized by government regulatory agencies such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The technique permanently destroys germinative cells responsible for hair growth, thanks to the insertion of a fine probe in the hair follicle and the application of a current adjusted to the type of hair and the treated area.
There are many factors within our bodies which can play a role in the development of unwanted hair. Some of the factors are normal, biological changes that we undergo throughout our lives, such as puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. Other causes are related to glandular disorders that may cause elevated levels of androgen hormones. These hormones can be responsible for the development of superfluous hair or hirsutism. Many people grow excess hair simply because of heredity factors, while in others, stress, emotional problems, and certain medications encourage the body's production of androgens, causing excess hair growth. The electrologist is trained to recognize hair growth patterns and outward symptoms which may require referral to a physician, most times an endocrinologist. The good news is that unwanted hair can be removed permanently, through electrology treatments.
unwantedhairsolution.com utilizes a system that concentrates and controls the extent of destruction of the hair follicle, targeting only the germinative cells and thus preventing new hair growth. Leaving the client more comfortable. |  |

The Electrolysis Technique
Some electrolysis systems are simply better than others. In the same fashion, Unwanted Hair Solutions stands out for their professionalism and desire to offer clients the best in permanent hair removal by utilizing the APILUS system. Our team has received in-depth training on APILUS technology. You can therefore undergo treatments in full confidence, knowing your are in the hands of a Certified Technician. An APILUS electrologist is someone who believes quality and security are key elements of her practice, and who puts your well-being and satisfaction FIRST.
The treatment involves placing a sterile probe into the hair follicle and transmitting a small amount of electrical energy to heat the follicle. The current destroys the hair's regenerative cells and the treated hair is then removed from the follicle. Once the regenerative cells have been eliminated, there is no possible way for the hair to be reproduced.

 | We don't hate lasers... Electrolysis vs. Laser
There are many options available to you when it comes to hair removal. As technology progresses they are coming up with new and less painful ways to get rid of unwanted hair. This is good news for those who need this type of treatment, however, choosing which method to go with can be a important and difficult decision. There are many factors that go into deciding which method is best for you, including pain, cost, time involved, and expected outcome.
One of the most important aspects of laser hair removal is its lasting effects. As of today, electrolysis is the only proven method for permanent and effective hair removal. If your main goal is for complete and lasting hair removal then this is the method that you should most consider. As it stands, laser hair removal can not only allow hair to grow back but can also only reduce it instead of completely removing it.
Laser procedures are known to reduce dark hair, mostly from light skinned individuals. There have been recent advances in laser hair removal technology that may make it effective on light hair as well, however it is still not clear how well this most recent technology works. One the other hand, electrolysis is great for getting rid of unwanted hair of any color. If you have dark skin electrolysis may be the best option for you anyway since utilizing laser technology does run the risk of discoloring skin pigmentation.
Electrolysis and laser hair removal methods are based on two different technologies. With electrolysis metal shafts that are placed directly into each hair follicle that is to be treated. The follicle is then disabled and the hair falls out. With laser hair removal a beam of laser light goes through the skin and creates heat in the follicle which then disables it and the hair falls out.
Electrolysis has been used as an effective permanent hair removal solution for many years. It has been tried, tested, and proven to work. This means that once you pay the money and go through the procedure that you will never have to worry about spending more time or money on it again. Laser technology is relatively new compared to electrolysis, so there are no long-term results to base any assessment on. We do know that it can cause damage and is not necessarily permanent.
The amazing thing about electrolysis is that it is a one time deal. Once you have the procedure done you will never have to worry about hair appearing on the treated area again. This is a great advantage over laser hair removal which can sometimes require treatment upon treatment without the desired result ever being achieved. The smaller areas take on average 2-3 treatments to complete when using laser.

- What is electrolysis?
Electrology is the science of permanent hair removal. Using state-of-the-art technology, a minute amount of electricity is gently applied to the base of the hair follicle. This process destroys the hair growth tissue. Therefore, the regenerative ability of the hair follicle is permanently eliminated. Electrolysis is essential to realizing the look you want and it is more effective than ever before.

- Why should I choose electrolysis over other temporary methods like Laser and waxing?
Unlike other hair removal options, professionally performed Electrolysis eliminates unwanted hair, permanently, with unsurpassed results. Moreover, it does so for the largest variety of skin and hair types.

Waxing, Threading and Tweezing are alike. However, ingrown hairs and discoloration may result. Additionally, they may cause an increase in hair growth activity. Depilatories and Shaving can cause an irritation to the skin while the hair re-grows quickly. These methods can require a lifetime of maintenance. Many can appear inexpensive but cost more due to long term use and are found to be inconvenient.
Electrolysis works on most areas of the body to give you smooth, sleek healthy looking skin. No other solution claims such universal acceptability and success.

Excessive hair growth, known as hirsutism can range from fine, vellus hair to dark, coarse hair on the face and body.

- What is the normal growth cycle of a hair?
Hairs have differing cycles of growth, many of which are not visible on the surface of the skin at the same time. The follicle produces the hair from the blood supply, and discards it eventually through shedding. The process of growth, rest and replacement are known as the hair growth cycle. The sequence of events is repeated constantly until a hair ceases to be formed

Electrolysis After-Care (Please print for your convenience)
- DO NOT TOUCH the treated area. The cleaner and dryer the area, the less irritation you will have. If you catch yourself touching the area, please use the alcohol prep pads, provided for you after your treatment.
- The treated area will be red for 30 minutes to an hour - depending on your type of skin. If you have minor irritation, it is usually from dirt and/or sweating.
- Avoid working out 12-24 hours after your treatment.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, skin exhortation's and Alpha-Hydroxy type products, etc. for 48 hours.
- When treating areas of the body (face not included), tiny scabs may appear the second or third day after; This IS NORMAL. Do not pick them off if you want speedy healing. You may also use Neosporin or other antibiotic CREAM...no ointments!
- Leaving the area alone to heal is best. If you have slight puffiness, we do not recommend an ice compress but it is okay to use. The reddened skin (blood flow) is a natural reaction to the healing process. If ice is needed when you get home, make sure the compress is disaffected prior to use.
