Electroepilation

The electroepilation is one of methods of full removal of indumentum on a body. The epilation is carried out with use of electric discharges which by means of electrodes with fine needles go to follicles. Under the influence of a current the hair bulb collapses, and the hair stops the growth.

Types of an electroepilation

Today the electroepilation is carried out by five ways: electrolysis, thermolysis, Blend, Flash, pintsetny removal of hair.

Electrolysis assumes use of a direct current of small tension. Under its influence around a bulb of a hair the sodium hydroxide which destroys it is formed.

The procedure is painful, after it can remain on reddening skin.

Specialists resort to removal of hair electrolysis only if it is necessary to process the small site of skin as the procedure rather long.

The thermolysis, unlike electrolysis, is carried out by means of alternating current of high frequency. In this case the effect of an epilation is explained by the fact that bulbs heat up and collapse.

The thermolysis works quicker – the hair is removed in 2 seconds, for one session it is possible to remove a third of undesirable hair.

Shortcomings of an electroepilation which is carried out by a thermolysis method is that it does not give the chance to depilate with a curved root and the fact that it is painful. There are reviews of an electroepilation a thermolysis indicating that after the procedure on skin there can be burns.

The Blend method at the same time works by the principle of a thermolysis and electrolysis. The hair on average in 10 seconds, but not so painful feelings is removed, and there is an opportunity to delete hairs at which roots are bent.

The Flash method is based on use of the high-frequency category with the big duration of an impulse. The method allows to lower pain, but the discomfort is all the same felt.

The Pintsetny epilation is a removal of hairs by means of electrodes in the form of tweezers. High-frequency electric current is applied here. The method so works: tweezers take a hair and submit through it the category.

Advantage of a method is that the electrode does not contact to skin therefore the risk of developing of burns and irritations decreases. Use a method most often for removal of hair in zones where skin is especially sensitive.

Reviews of an electroepilation point out such defects of a method: bulbs do not collapse completely from the first, it is necessary to repeat the procedure more than 5 times. At the same time it is necessary to influence current one hair about 30 seconds.

There is one more concept as the scan (scan) processing of hair. It is carried sometimes to an electroepilation, but it is wrong though electric current here too is used. The sense of the procedure is in what hair process the solutions reducing their growth then influence electric current – so means get into roots of hair better.

If to pass several such the scan of processings, then it is possible to achieve that hair will become thinner gradually and will cease to grow. Some salons carry out the scan processing along with electrolysis or a thermolysis.

In what zones it is possible to depilate by means of an electroepilation

Most often carry out an electroepilation on a face and legs. Besides, such method it is possible to depilate hands.

In a groin (a bikini electroepilation), under mice, it is not recommended to depilate a breast by means of electric current as in these areas lymph nodes are located rather close to the surface of skin. Nevertheless, salons actively practice carrying out an electroepilation of bikini, armpits, calming the visitors the fact that depth of influence of electric current is not so big to touch lymph nodes.

What is possible and it is impossible to do after an electroepilation

After an electroepilation within a day it is impossible to moisten with water the processed zone. Until skin is recovered after the procedure, it is recommended to use special means for processing. Usually they are recommended by the master who was carrying out an epilation, considering features of skin, injury degree, etc.

It is undesirable to sunbathe in the sun or in a sunbed after an electroepilation – it can injure skin, cause emergence of a nevus pigmentosus. It is impossible to bathe in open reservoirs, the sea, the pool, to visit a bath.

It is impossible to touch a processing zone dirty. Linen and clothes if were depilated a body, it is desirable to put on a free cut from natural materials.

It is necessary to reduce an exercise stress as because of the increased perspiration skin will heal more slowly.

These restrictions concern only the recovery period. It lasts on average week.

Also, if the electroepilation on a face was carried out, it is important to know that the first days it is necessary to do without decorative cosmetics.

Many ask a question whether it is possible to apply other methods of full removal of hair or depilation after carrying out an electroepilation (shaving, processing by depilatory creams). Specialists recommend not to use other ways of disposal of undesirable indumentum. That is, for example, if the electroepilation on a face was carried out, but the result turned out unsatisfactory, it is desirable to consult to the specialist and to apply other way of an electroepilation, but not to try to shave off or pull out independently hairs.

Contraindications to carrying out an epilation electric current

It is impossible to depilate by an electroepilation method if are found:

• varicosity;
• infection;
• heart troubles;
• acute, chronic diseases of skin;
• pustules, inflammations on skin;
• bad coagulability of blood;
• oncological diseases;
• epilepsy;
• diabetes mellitus in a dekompensirovanny stage;
• individual intolerance of current;
• hepatitis.

Also cannot carry out an electroepilation pregnant women, the feeding women, that who has an intrauterine spiral (if it is about a bikini electroepilation), and also to people with an electrocardiostimulator.
