Hair removal services Beverly Hills, CA by Bad Betty Electrolysis near me: Electrolysis refers to the process of permanent hair removal using a direct current (galvanic), alternating current (thermolysis/short wave), or both. A hair-sized probe is inserted into each hair follicle, administering enough current to permanently kill the stem cells and other growth factors in each follicle. This differs from laser, which utilizes radiofrequency to emit a light that find, heats, and damages the hair follicle. An important difference here is that laser does not target individual hair follicles. Instead, the intensity of the laser is distributed throughout a given region of the body. With laser, some hairs will be permanently disabled, and others will be weakened enough to delay growth for a period of time. This is why laser is referred to as permanent hair reduction, while electrolysis is permanent hair removal. See even more info at Bad Betty Electrolysis.

Numbing creams are the most common approach to pain management for electrolysis. Lidocaine, benzocaine, epinephrine, and tetracaine are the most common active ingredients in most numbing agents. Topical anesthetics can be purchased over the counter at your local pharmacy, online, or with a prescription. Some creams are a compound of multiple anesthetic agents meant to provide the best numbing experience for the longest time possible. We recommend testing different formulations to find what works for you.

We begin the hair removal process by assessing your hair removal needs and selecting a filament appropriate for your case. We choose the machine settings by starting with a low level of current and building up. This is the process of discovering your unique working point: the level of energy necessary to effectively epilate the hair in a given region of your body. The goal is to find the balance between a tolerable energy level for the you and a sufficient level of energy for successful epilation (where the hair slides out with little to no tension). We do not believe it is necessary or desirable to treat most hairs more than once, so we choose settings to achieve permanent removal as quickly as possible.
