Although electrolysis and laser hair removal systems have been around for a long time, they grew to incredible popularity as an aesthetic treatment when Kim Kardashian swore by them in keeping her skin flawless. It is now an in-demand skin care trend for people, particularly young women.
Why skincare? It turns out that zapping hair with electrolysis is not just for aesthetic purposes; it is a hygienic practice as well. According to top electrolysis clinics in Abu Dhabi and Dubai,getting rid of unwanted hair means irritation- and odor-causing bacteria have nothing to adhere to. This, in turn, means that, with electrolysis, you no longer need to suffer the discomfort arising from such bacterial proliferation.
But those are not all the advantages of permanent hair removal through electrolysis. Listed below are seven others:
1. It’s convenient
Imagine yourself going on a weekend or full weeklong vacation wherein you need to look your best at all times. How convenient would it be not to have to shave in the shower so you can get ready so much faster?
If you no longer have unwanted hair to get rid of, you can cut your preparation time by at least 15 minutes, forever! This a huge advantage, especially if you lead a hectic lifestyle.
2. It’s better for the skin
Electrolysis does not just banish unwanted fuzz, but it also helps maintain a nice and smooth skin appearance. There may be some redness and itchiness after the treatment, but that goes away after a couple of hours at most, to reveal smooth and flawless skin.
With plucking, shaving, or waxing, ugly skin issues such as ingrown hairs, chicken skin, and stubble usually appear. These are never a problem with electrolysis.
3. It’s more sanitary
The material used to deliver the treatment to kill hair follicles is always prepared using the highest sanitation and safety standards. You do not have to worry about cross-contamination or infection, which is a high likelihood when using a razor for shaving. It is also always single-use and disposed of immediately after each session.
4. If hair isn’t removed after one session, it gets finer and thinner
Permanent hair removal takes time. This means that until you have completed all your sessions, you can expect some regrowth which will be eliminated at a later session. However, the advantage of electrolysis is the hair that grows back becomes much finer and thinner. Thus, daily upkeep is not required unlike in shaving, which makes hair grow thick, stiff, and sometimes even coarse.
5. It works for all parts of the body
Electrolysis hair removal does not cause as much discomfort as other hair removal systems, especially in delicate parts of the body.
And the fact that there are breaks between sessions is even better for the skin. The “rest” allows the skin to recover completely. It is worth mentioning, too, that there’s no sensitivity to the sun 24 to 48 hours after the treatment; but just to be safe, always wear sun protection.
6. It is a highly effective treatment for ingrown hair
A tiny skin bump with a curled-back hair or hair growing sideways is actually ingrown hair, and it can sometimes resolve on its own. If it doesn’t, it can turn into a painful red bump resembling a pimple. What’s more, if you pick on it, it can darken, get irritated and leave behind a scar.
With electrolysis, ingrown hair will no longer be a problem. In fact, the science behind electrolysis was originated by Dr. Charles Michel, an ophthalmologist, who had to treat a patient with painful ingrown eyelashes way back in 1875.
7. It may be cheaper in the long run
A full package of electrolysis treatments can prove more cost-effective in the long run, especially for people who like to experiment with different hair removal systems.
It’s true that the initial cost can be quite steep. However, if you do the math by adding the cost of various hair removal systems and skincare essentials to ensure the impact of such common hair removal programs, the cost of electrolysis can end up much lower. Add to this the time, pain and troubles you get to avoid once your skin is completely, permanently hairless.
If you are interested in electrolysis to rid your body of unwanted hair, make sure you go to a reputable aesthetic center that offers the system to ensure that all the sessions will be performed to perfection, and you will get the results you want.
