| Q. |
What
causes unwanted hair? |
| A. |
Heredity and hormonal changes are important factors which contribute to hair
growth.
People who have ancestry from areas around the Mediterranean and
the Middle East have a greater tendency toward excessive hair growth than those
from Northern Europe and the Orient.
Hormones called androgens are directly
responsible for hair growth in both men and women. Normal changes in the hormonal
system occurring during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause may increase the level
of androgens or decrease the level of the female hormone, estrogen, resulting
in sudden, new hair growth on the body or face.
Excess
hair growth can also be a symptom of disease, especially one that involves a hormonal
imbalance such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), Ovarian & Adrenal Tumors,
Cushing's Syndrome, Adrenal Hyperplasia, and Hyperthyroidism. |
| Q. |
How
does it work? |
| A. |
A
very slight amount of electrical current is applied to the hair root, ending further
growth. |
| Q. |
Why
should I chose this type of hair removal over other, cheaper removal methods? |
| A. |
Many
other hair removal methods provide only temporary relief to the problem of unwanted
hair. Long term tweezing and waxing often exacerbate the condition by distorting
the hair root, causing ingrown hairs and trauma to the skin. When you contemplate
the cost, consider what a lifetime of creams, razors, and waxing will cost. Consider,
too, the countless hours lost pursuing a temporary result. This is clearly the
best and most cost effective solution, Today's fees are flexible enough to fit
most budgets. Never take chances with your health; competent, professional service
is well worth the cost. |
| Q. |
How
long will I need treatments? |
| A. |
Permanent
hair removal treatment programs are tailored to the client's needs. Many factors
determine the number and the length of treatments required. Some of these may
include the condition of the skin to be treated, the sensitivity of the skin,
the number of follicles involved, past methods of hair removal and even your
actions before and after treatments can impact the number of treatments needed.
Many patients find weekly sessions of 15 to 60 minutes to be most effective. |
| Q. |
Does
it hurt? |
| A. |
For
most people, the traditional needle hair removal causes little discomfort. Most
patients report tweezing and waxing to be much more uncomfortable than electrolysis
treatments.
