We have nowadays many many options of how to deal with facial hairs if you
Want to use a temporary method we have
waxing shaving
We also have
Threading. So there's many ways. However, there's only two
specific
Permanent removal which is laser and electrolysis. So go get yourself a pen and paper and we're gonna start right now
So very quickly, my name is Maria from Vancouver Canada, I want to thank you for the people that have been following me
I'm so appreciative for the individuals that do not know me. Hopefully you will follow me. My tutorials are mainly on
Education in skincare and the different kinds of machineries the pros and cons
so I will really love for you to follow me if you do subscribe and
Most of all share my tutorials with others. So today I'm going to discuss about the difference between laser and
Electrolysis, there's a little bit of confusion. So I want to put a pin point, of course
I have the tendency to like one more than the other and you will notice that but mainly is to educate the
People that the industry and also the community so you can make the right choice
Which one is better for you laser or electrolysis, so let's get started
For centuries women had to deal about
facial hair body hair and
It is not only to deal because it looks better
For the western women but sometimes could be hormonal
It also could be that you have inherited the facial growth
For example a certain nationalities have more hair than other nationalities
but we also know that the last 20-30 years that men also want to take care of their
unibrow or
Chest hair back hair. So this now it's about not only about women
It's also about men wanting to look groomed and want to take care about themselves
So the temporary hair removal methods are the very popular one is waxing or threating tweezing
Shaving but that is only temporary and also chemical creams that you can apply which are like a rare. Yup
Dehydrating to the skin. However, some individuals are happy with that mythology
Knowing that you know that the hair will come back
Sometimes a thicker sometime distorted but that is an option that you have
but there is another option two options actually one is
Electrolysis and one is later
I would like to talk a little bit about the history of electrolysis first and then we go into the laser
Electrolysis have been around for over a hundred 35 years. So it has a lot of documentation. It has a lot of
history and
because of that the FDA has approved it as permanent hair removal the only
Procedure that actually destroys the hair
the only thing with electrolysis is very tedious you're doing one hair at the time the more
Experienced electrologist can work a little bit faster
But still it takes time for that hair to get destroyed. So here I have a drawing
Sorry, that is backwards. But that's the way it goes
So you have the skin here epidermis dermis
And the bulb is found at the bottom here of the dermis here
the electrologist will insert a filament a lot of people call it needle but it is a
Thin filament which is that just as thick as the hair
the electrologist will insert all the way down to the end of the bulb and then the
electrologist will release
The current and I'm gonna talk about it at different modalities the second
Once that is destroyed it might take two or three seconds
the electrologist will pull the hair out and it will slide out if it is tugging the
Electrologist will have to go back into that hair follicle and put an additional current to get it destroyed
Is it painful? Well, it doesn't feel good
but the
dissertation must or the electrologist must
Ask the client or the patient how much current she can handle so the patient or the client is the one that controls
How much current so if you put less current of course takes a little bit longer if you put more current then
It'll be much faster. But it also could cause a little burns on the surface. So you have to be very very careful
There is three modalities and the first and all three of them. They will have to
Insert the little filament. So the first modality is called the galvanic
Electrolysis, and that is the old
Mythology, it takes actually sometimes even 15 or 30 seconds per hair
but what happens is that the the galvanic is at the rect current I caused this a
Chemical reaction. Of course, you have to have a little bit of knowledge and history here
chemical reaction and that chemical it turns into sodium
hydroxide and the sodium hydroxide which is lye it can actually
decomposes the hair bulb and
Then you pull just slide the hair out. It's very slow. Very very accurate
The second one is thermolysis and thermolysis. They we use high frequency current
it is an oscillating current causing heat and that will coagulate so I guess
We go down here. We coagulate the bulb but that is only a couple of seconds two three four seconds
Depending how thick the hair is and then we slide it out the third mythology
Is that the the last one that was developed later on?
that's called the blend and
Basically, we are inserting with one needle. We're asserting both currents
So it's all about a little bit more about the technology, but it works
Amazing it is of course slower than laser, but we do see a hundred percent results
I have a lot of information
So if you want more information of all this please send me up through the link below about
Additional information and I'm more than happy to send it to you
Laser for hair removal was
Created or invented in the 90s. So we don't have as much documentation or history on laser
Also, the laser allows us to just to describe it as permanent hair reduction
not permanent hair removal only
electrolysis is permanent so laser is just
Reduction very important to remember after the treatment you have will have some redness
There's no insertion of a filament. So it's not as evasive as
electrolysis
after the treatment you will cool it down with some aloe vera vera juice or
gel, whatever you have and
But it is not permanent and let me look through a little bit of theory here. So we have laser
Sorry is backwards laser
mainly done by
doctors and IPL more by medical estheticians or clinical estheticians
so we have a probe and with the probe there is a
The light pulse coming throughout the skin the light pulse is attracted to the bulb
Okay in the bulb area. We have a lot of melanin pigment, but also
Very very important to know is that in the germinativum layer?
we have melanocytes, don't we and
also in the papillary layer we have
Melanocytes and also throughout the dermis now the darker the skin
more
Release of melanin, so if I'm a light-skinned, of course, I will have less melanin
versus the person that has a
darker skin now I always
not encourage laser onto the face because
There has been cases that big after the the laser women had
Experienced hair growth and this is called paradoxical
Hypertrichosis hair growth is caused by the heat
The heat of and of course you as the client or patient
Can control the amount of heat if it is too hot you just mentioned to the technician
That is too hot
However, sometimes you just want to bear a little bit extra heat
But that can also cause if you have a darker skin hyperpigmentation
or
Hypo hyper means more hypo means less so you'll have a discoloration
Why is because there's not only pigment here this pigment?
Throughout even if you have light skin but a light skin, you're not gonna notice as much as a darker skin also
Laser, you cannot do laser on
blonde hair
red hair or
White hair you cannot and the some technicians will not do laser on. Very dark dark skin
So you have a little bit of being limited with a laser
However, I do believe that laser in larger areas like arms
legs Tommy back
areas, that it doesn't matter if all the hairs are not
Destroyed and the that is that is okay that you don't mind if you all have the odd hair coming back
However, because the FDA is saying that it is permanent hair reduction
It is reduction because the hair will come back
Maybe not as thick but it will come back
So before you start any tampering with your face that you're starting with hair
grows hypertrichosis or on the body
Go and check with your doctor. I would say that is the most important thing ask your doctor to send you to an
Endocrinologist to check out why you're having hair growth. You could have polycystic ovarian syndrome
Or you might go through menopause
A lot of times if you're pregnant
I do not buy electrolysis or laser on pregnant women but a lot of times through pregnancy, you might get additional hair
However, once the pregnancy is over the hair won't drop
If they don't drop then go get some electrolysis, especially face on on the face
so before you do any form of
Electrolysis laser or anything like that
Check why you're getting this hair growth if it is hereditary because your whole family has hair then
Choose the right procedure for you
So your choice electrolysis or laser? Hopefully I have
explained it in detail for you now when you do
electrolysis
some the things that you need to know is that just after the electrolysis you will see like little little red dots
Because she has destroyed
Some some tissue and the so you must apply
Hopefully she will but if she doesn't apply some polysporin
and
In do it like every day for a few days. However, after a couple of days you will see like little scabs
Please do not touch those scabs do not because if you pick up those scabs
You will cause like a little scars and you don't want that as cars then and will they will not go away
So when I use you advise to apply some mineral makeup not foundation some natural mineral makeup
And I have a link below that you just put it on
It's just like powder and it covers up a little bit of the the little red dots or the scabs
with laser
There's no needles going yet, so there's not gonna be any irritation that way you'll have some redness from from the heat
So I usually advise to apply some gel like aloe vera gel some soothing creams
But aloe vera gel is it's the best thing and after about a couple of hours the redness will go away. I
Hope Oh before I forget
With body area I don't first of all I don't advise laser on the face but on the body
Go to a technician that has a lot of experience first of all, but you can also get yourself a little
laser machine for home use that you can use in between
So you go to the technician she does a year all over the place
But when some of the hairs come back you can do it
Don't do it on the face, but on the body you can and below
I have a couple of links of
some from the US and some from
Canada that there are actually these are actually quite good machines that you can do laser on the area where the hairs are coming back
Okay, please not on the face
So, what will it be laser or electrolysis they all both of them have their pros and cons
One is permanent and one is permanent hair reduction
So you need to make that decision. Do you have a small area or a large area?
Are you working on the face or the body? So they both have?

Hope I answered all your questions
If you have additional questions, please up put in the comment below and I will personally will answer myself
