The Permanent Choice was established over eighteen years ago when electrolysis was the only method that
had received FDA-approval for hair removal. All Permanent Choice facilities practice using the ClareBlend UltraBlend due to the benefits of using cataphoresis post-treatment. The ClareBlend, while also allowing the three methods** of electrolysis, has an air desensitizer allowing direct cooling at the site of treatment, adding to clients’ comfort.
**Why is it important that your technician be fluent in all three methods of electrolysis?
Many electrologists operate only utilizing Flash and although effective is best used on finer, lighter hairs. Typically, too strong of a heat is needed to be effective with flash on the coarser, darker terminal hairs. Technicians trained on all methods know the Blend to be a better option for about 80% of individuals seeking hair removal.
What The Laser Cannot See
Your Electrologist Can!
Electrolysis is the ideal method for hairs that the laser cannot treat; blonde, gray, red, and fine hairs.
How Electrolysis Works.
How do you know if a hair has been effectively treated with electrolysis?
Successful hair removal with electrolysis is when you feel little or No resistance when the hair is removed after it has been treated. If you feel as if the hair is being tweezed that is exactly what your electrologist is doing - Not working towards permanently removing the hair.
Several treatments are needed in order to effectively break down an individual hair follicle (germ cell). The hair that grows back will be finer and lighter until a follicle can no longer produce another hair. The amount of hair present, as well as the coarseness of the hair will determine the length and number of sessions.
All of our offices use sterile, disposable needles (gold probes are used when appropriate).
There are three methods of electrolysis The Blend, Thermolysis, and Galvanic. The Blend is the most widely used method of electrolysis. It is a combination of the methods of Galvanic and Thermolysis. The heat of Thermolysis paired with the chemical reaction of Galvanic is considered the most effective method for permanent hair removal.
Thermolysis (Flash) is actually what most people are thinking of when they hear the word electrolysis. Thermolysis works by using a small alternating current that cauterizes the follicle. This type of electrolysis is effective on thin, fine hairs.
The science behind the Galvanic electrolysis was established 125 years ago. This is a direct current that causes your own body to produce lye in the follicle, destroying it chemically. This is most effective on thick, coarse hairs.
