Hair Removal Methods Professional Electrolysis
#1

I’m doing electrolysis (thermolysis) with the Ficher machine…and i’ve only gone twice to this lady. She seems good and skilled, wears gloves, changes needles and sheets. After the electrolysis session she uses this frequency wand thing that sounds like its crackling when shes goes over the areas of treatment. She said it’s to close the pores and reduce irritation…
what is this thing lol…sorry if it’s not clear how i’m explaining it…just wanted to know if you other electrologists use it?

Thanks!

This type of high frequency treatment is often used by estheticians. Most electrologists that use something after treatment use cataphoresis rollers, which requires an indifferent electrode (and utilizes galvanic current).

The high frequency current (with the glass electrode) is used to provide an anti-bacterial action, but I don’t believe it’s necessary. However, if your electrologist uses it - she must believe that it’s beneficial.

This is sometimes called sparking, and there are several different colors available, which are said have different properties. I do not recall the colors or properties of each…

Consumers will find that there are many types of aftercare and treatment techniques that are used by good electrologists.

I’ve been thinking about this since posting yesterday. The high frequency device you are describing has thermal qualities. In other words, it is used for generating heat in the skin. We usually think that skin needs cooled after a treatment, and if she is using something like the Gala Yi-Zhibaume that is probably happening.

I am very curious to learn more about why your electrologist uses this. There can be soothing qualities from the direct application of the glass wand - with the right product. Is she keeping the glass on your skin?

How is your skin acting after a treatment?

Yes, this question is fundamental. If the glass separates from the skin, red and violet beam impacts over the surface of the skin causing a burn, especially where skin relief. I know some of my colleagues use this to remove acrochordons on neck and chest or to dry acne pimples.

This technique requires great concentration to keep the beam on the target and that it does not deviate.

I remember that the violet electrode is antibacterial, and red is used to reduce inflammation and soothe the skin.
