HairFire: Electrolysis At It’s Hottest

In order for a hair to be permanently removed, it must be in the growth stage of the hair cycle.How do we know what stage it’s in? Is this something we can see before treating the hair? Can we only know after the hair has been properly treated and removed?

When hairs are treated by electrolysis, there isn’t any way of knowing which stage each individual hair may be in until after the hair has been removed with the aid of tweezers.

Some hairs could be in the dormant stage, some are in the growing stage, and the rest may be in transition.

The best way of knowing if the hair is an anagen hair, or in the growing stage, is by seeing a clear sheath around the base of the hair.

This clear sheath is the tissue that makes up the hair follicle. When this has been completely removed after being treated with electrolysis properly, the hair is considered to be permanently removed.

It makes my day when I treat anagen hairs! My clients are happy, too!
