Oh To Be Hair Free!

You really can be with Electrolysis. 100% HAIR FREE!

ABOUT US

Dana Adams graduated from The Academy for Advanced Electrolysis in Houston, Texas. The AAE training center is partnered with the internationally established global leader, Académie Dectro International. Known as one of the best educational programs in the field, Académie Dectro has extended its reputation world wide.

WHAT IS ELECTROLYSIS

Electrolysis is a method of removing individual hairs from the face or body. It permanently eliminates hair growth by inserting a small probe into the natural opening of the hair follicle destroying the growth center of the hair with heat energy delivered to the source. Thanks to today's technology, the sessions are fairly comfortable, and 100% effective for all clients regardless of skin, and hair types.

WHAT AREAS ARE TREATABLE

Hair can be treated anywhere on the body except inside the nose, and inside the ear. While all areas of hair growth are treatable, Dana will only treat areas that are not intimate in nature; ie Brazilian.

NEED TO KNOW:

We are very passionate about electrolysis because we too were clients who experienced the frustration of unwanted hair. Electrolysis was the ONLY solution we found for permanent results. Our experience with electrolysis was painful due to older and now antiquated devices which is why we have chosen to use Apilus 27.12MHz equipment, which provides gentler, less painful and quicker results than any other electrolysis equipment available.

The FDA identifies Electrolysis as the ONLY 100% permanent hair removal method! Our Electrologist received training through the prestigious Academy for Advanced Electrolysis Studies, an Académie Dectro accredited school! The precision and skill it takes to perform electrolysis successfully requires proper, and accredited education for the safety of the public; this level of training is important since Ohio does not have licensure. Electrolysis is a highly skilled profession, much like playing a musical instrument, it takes much training and practice to become proficient.

Electrolysis is a process that takes multiple visits, typically every-two-weeks for approximately 6 to 8 months before the growth begins to taper off. Clients typically reach completion within 1.5 to 2 years.

Such a small amount of time to have hair PERMANENTLY GONE FOREVER!

EXPLAINATION

A fine probe is inserted into the natural opening of the hair follicle where current is applied, killing the hair follicle if adequate hydration molecules are present. If sufficient hydration is present, it will cause the hair to detach, the detached hair is then extracted with treezers, and the hair should just slide right out. This means hydrated follicles are going to be very important for successful electrolysis! Hydrated skin and follicles are a product of consistently drinking small amounts of water (4oz at one sitting) throughout the day, and consuming fatty acids, and whole food. If you have a strict low fat diet, or you fast more than 20 hours, you will not have hydrated skin and follicles. Guzzling water before your appointments will not be sufficient for good hydration. 100% pure coconut water is a good alternative; Liquid IV can boost hydration when needed. Avoiding products that have Retinols, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, hyaluronic acid, which are typical ingredients in skincare products to treat conditions such as acne prone, and aging skin. These type products push the hydration deeper into the skin and away from the follicles where we need the hydration for the electrolysis to work. It is important to steer clear of these ingredients while you are receiving electrolysis treatments. Continued use of these products during treatment increases the risk that you will have stronger reactions from the electrolysis, such as increased redness, swelling, scabbing, etc. and skin scarring. This is due to the electrolysis in dehydrated follicles causing damage to the surrounding tissue instead of the hair follicle itself. So, follicle hydration is vital to get you quicker results, and avoid chances of scarring.

One pulse is not always sufficient to kill off a follicle, sometimes two, three or even more are required to kill a follicle. There are many factors that determine how many pulses will be required to kill a follicle: the amount of androgens feeding the hair follicles, if you have ever pulled the hair (each pull strengthens the follicles, causes ingrown hair and promotes surrounding dormant follicles that are not producing hair to start producing hair), and medications being taken (these are only a few examples). You MUST stop pulling hair out once you begin electrolysis, so no more tweezing, waxing threading, epilating, anything that pulls the hair out. In between appointments you may trim, shave, use depilatories, or simply nothing (schedule shorter appointments weekly or every-few-days). If you get into a habit of trimming or shaving between appointments, please do not trim or shave 2 days before your appointment. We need about 3mm of growth to be able to perform the electrolysis.

REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS

Hair grows in cycles, and it’s this cyclical nature that causes electrolysis to be such a process. All the hair you have growing in an area does not all grow out at once; there are many follicles very close together and they take turns pushing out. Much of the time we think it is the same hair pushing out only a few days after being tweezed however this is incorrect. If a hair is tweezed, has electrolysis, or sluffs off naturally; rejuvenation of that single follicle will take 3 months to produce another hair. For this reason, typically you will not see results for the first 3 months; it will take 3 months to give one pulse to every hair you have growing in the area. So if you are coming in every-two-weeks for a full clearing, you will have 6 appointments before you even begin to see results. At the 3 month mark you will start to notice you have less, and much finer hair because it has been damaged by the first pulse. It will take another 3 months to give a second pulse to all the remaining hair producing follicles, and a third pulse to all the remaining follicles will take another 3 months. Typically, with full clearings at each appointment (every 2 weeks), we are getting rid of the bulk of the hair within the first 6 to 8 months. Then you move into maintenance where your appointments begin to taper off, and you may come for treatment every-other-month, or so, until the hair stops growing altogether.

If you do not have the time in your schedule or your budget for full clearings every-two-weeks, we will work with you to set appointments that are within your time schedule and budget. It is important not to go beyond two weeks to assure you reach completion as quick as possible. Electrolysis is safe enough to have everyday if you desire.

TATTOOS

It is possible for ink to be removed from a tattoo by electrolysis. This is very rare but can happen, especially if the ink is very shallow from a homemade tattoo or similar. Typically, touching up the tattoo, after finishing the electrolysis process is sufficient.

OBTAINING THE QUICKEST RESULTS POSSIBLE

There are 3 things that will give you the quickest results possible:

* Keeping your follicles well hydrated.

* Resisting the urge to pull the hair.

* Keeping your appointments consistent and in a timely manner.

MEDICATION WARNINGS

If you are currently using or have used Retinoid or Isotretinoin products in the last 6 months, including but not limited to: Absorica, Accutane, Amnesteem, Claravis, Isotretinoin, Myorisan, Retinyl Palmitate, Retinaldehyde, Retinoids, Tretinoin, Tazarotene, Zenatane, etc. you cannot have electrolysis until 6 months after you have last used the products. This is because it takes approximately 6 months for follicles to regain the hydration necessary for successful electrolysis after taking these types of products.

If you have used Hydroquinone products in the last 12 months, including but not limited to Obagi Nu-Derm Sunfader, Obagi Nu-Derm Clear, Obagi Nu-Derm Blender, Obagi Elastiderm, and Blanche, you will need to wait 12 months before you may begin electrolysis. Scarring may appear quickly if beginning electrolysis too soon after using these products.

If you are taking antibiotics, antihistamines, anti-inflammatories, please wait to schedule an appointment until 7 to 14 days after you have stopped taking these medications for the hydration to build back up in your follicles for successful electrolysis. If you are taking any of these medications on a regular basis per doctor recommendation, you are not precluded from having electrolysis however you must be more conscious of your hydration and should expect a longer process to reach completion.

You should expect a longer process if you are taking cortisone, cortisol, steroids, and hormones (including bioidentical hormones, testosterone pellets, and oral contraceptives) and if you have any hormonal issues (PCOS, thyroid problems) and if you live a high stress lifestyle that causes higher production of cortisol.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR AN APPOINTMENT

To acheive optimal results and avoid scarring:

* Come well hydrated but not guzzling water.

* Arrive with at least 2mm growth (do not shave/trim for at least 2 days prior).

* Do not workout on the day of your appointment.

* Avoid caffeine before the appointment.

* Avoid sun exposure 3 days before the appointment.

* Avoid products with hydroquinone, retinals, retinoids, glycolic acid, salicylic acids, usually found in products that target acne or wrinkles, anti-aging products, youth defying serums, skin lightening and brightening products and those that prevent ingrown hair (only on areas where you will have the electrolysis).

* If bikini area, please wear lose clothing, white cotton undergarments WITHOUT dyes.

AFTERCARE INSTRUCTIONS

After your appointment:

* No sun exposure 3 days after your appointment; please cover the area before going outdoors during this time since sunscreen alone will not keep the area from hyperpigmentation.

* Do not touch the area. Our hands carry a lot of bacteria and can contaminate the treated area.

* Do not apply make-up, anything with heavy oils, just let your skin breathe for 24 hours.

* Do NOT apply hydrocortisone, cortisone, triple antibiotic.

* ONLY apply aloe vera, if needed.

* If the face is treated, please put a fresh pillow case on before bed.

* If an area of the body is treated, please put fresh sheets or fresh pajamas on before bed.

* Avoid hot steamy showers, sweating, activity that revs up the body and opens the pores and follicles.

* You may return to your regular routine and regimen the very next day.

* NO MORE PULLING OF THE HAIR! Once you begin electrolysis you must stop tweezing, waxing, threading; any technique that pulls the hair out must be stopped.
