Hi all,
I am following a treatment for couple of medium black hairs on my chin like these ones
Following your experience, how many times do I have to go back and treat each hair with thermolysis since the hairs will not be killed permanently from the first treatment but they become finer after each treatment.
Many thanks,
(I think my head is going to explode.) I’m smiling, by the way.
These hairs can be treated with thermolysis. The hair follicle can be disabled the very first time and the hairs will not regrow - EVER. They will not come back thinner, EITHER.
IF THE PROPER AMOUNT OF ENERGY IS USED FOR THE PROPER AMOUNT OF TIME AND EXCELLENT INSERTIONS ARE PERFORMED, these hairs are done for.
in that case you mean that lower intensity for longer is better than the flash method, right ?
No, not at all!. I’ve bern “killing” hair the first time with high intensity 99-100%, with short timing .030 seconds , give or take a few thousandths of a second. been doing this for years with much success.
Dee is completely correct, of course … and as always too.
In the “old days,” photographers would have to adjust shutter speed and aperture opening (based on film “speed”). And, this is a perfect metaphor of what Dee is talking about. (Yeah, I used to run-around with my “light meter!”)
If your camera “lens opening” is very small, (like low current levels), you need a longer “exposure time,” and that’s what those of us that use “analog blend” are doing.
Now, if the camera lens is “wide open” (like very high current … or lots of light coming in), your shutter speed has to be much faster (and that’s what Dee is doing).
All-in-all, it ends up being somewhat the same. This formula was the basis of early camera work … and the basis of what we do with the thermolysis current as well.
Of course with digital cameras this is done automatically … This is not exactly like the digital E-machines, however, because the “human eye” (with expert experience), is still watching the skin being treated, and making careful adjustments.
So, don’t worry about NOTHIN’!!!
I always want to make sure clients are aware that the visible hair “today” are not the only hair they have because of the unsynchronized nature of hair growth. Genetics, hormones, and medications can also be reasons for future (new) growth, so please don’t think today’s removal is all you will need.
