Hello, I was wondering how common it is for electrologists to get cases of paradoxical laser stimulated growth and what the usual success rate is with permanent removal of this type of growth. For instance I’ve heard that the blend method is the most effective since thermolysis has been known to cause hairs to come back coarser and that the treatment time window is longer due to the returning of ‘laser hairs’
Yikes, I don’t know who you’ve been “hearing this from,” but it’s pretty much all nonsense. (Ah, I know from whence this cometh: from all the crapola on the internet?)
Answering your questions:
-
Electrolysis has no historical record of “paradoxical hair growth stimulation.” That entire phrase emerged out of the laser industry.
-
“Success rate for “stimulated hair?” A “hair is a hair,” it doesn’t’ matter how it got there, once zapped it’s history.
-
Blend more effective? Well, no! Ugh!
-
Thermolysis causes hairs to come back coarser? Damn NO! Double ugh!
-
Treatment window longer due to laser “returning hairs? Perhaps. (Let’s get “Laser-Dude Brenton” to chime in on this … )
One out of five is pretty good! BRAVO!
Michael, without you, this world of Electrology would have been possible, but without a doubt, it would have been less funny, and very more boring.
Thank you for clearing it up 
I feel like paranoia was easily fueled with misinformation. I will be asking more to the electrologist I’m seeing for my first consultation this Friday since I’m very new to this and still need to be educated. Hopefully everything goes well
Tee hee …
The “promise of the Internet” was, of course, that the world would have plentiful uncensored information that would lead to a well-informed population. Sometimes, I think just the opposite has happened.
In the “good old days” people got their information from reading. When a book, or article, is put together, usually the writer makes certain the information is correct (it’s expensive to produce written materials).
Today, anybody with a computer can put together a website for virtually no money. They can appear much more impressive than they really are. They can put-out stories and ideas with no repercussions at all.
Lies, misinformation and silly ideas are now all mixed-up together with good solid data. The internet is like a “blender” full of lies, AND facts.
Even fraudulent products produce websites to “expose the fraud” when, in reality, they are selling the thing too and NOT exposing the fraud at all.
Sometimes a person’s website makes them look like a “first rate” operation. When the customer gets there, they find it to be a total disaster.
I don’t know if you can believe anybody these days? So, I sympathize a LOT with our original poster.
The internet is “the Wild West” of information, and misinformation.
