How To Get Rid Of Body Hair Permanently

If you are like me you want to get rid of body hair permanently not temporary and what most people don’t realize is that most of the products available today will remove hair but NOT permanently. The reason is that most of these products today are in the form of a cream that simply rubs on and burns the hair off at the skin surface allowing you to rub it away, but it will grow back because really it’s no different than shaving. These types of products are called depilatories because they use a chemical that burns the hair to remove it.

Electrolysis Can Get Rid Of Body Hair Permanently

To get rid of body hair permanently you need to use electrolysis as this is the only method approved by the FDA. This method involves using electric current to kill the hair follicle and the surrounding growth cells for permanent hair removal. The hair cannot grow back because the dermal papilla that feeds the now burnt follicle has been killed also.

I did some investigation to find that using an electrolysis method is painful, expensive and time consuming as the process is very slow and requires trained technicians. To read more detail, see our electrolysis removal article.

What I did find was a better method to get rid of body hair permanently without the pain or expenses and it can be done at home very easily. The process is very similar to the electrolysis method in the fact that it uses small electrical pulses that travel through the hair to the follicle BUT the process is painless. There are no needles and the electrical pulse does not hurt because you cannot feel it.

How I Was Able To Get Rid Of Body Hair Permanently

During my investigation I found that this remarkable little tool was called a Verseo ePen and it only cost $59. It can get rid of body hair permanently and not cost you a fortune at the spa.

Yep that is correct $59 and you can get rid of body hair permanently, so I bought one, see my Verseo ePen review.

Electrolysis Removal Method

Electrolysis Removal

Is Electrolysis Removal Best?

The truth about having your hair removed using Electrolysis Removal is that just because it has been around awhile doesn’t make it the best method for permanent hair removal.

The facts are what they are, the process of electrolysis removal is out dated, painful and expensive.

Electrolysis Removal Technology

The process works by inserting a long metal needle (Probe) down the hair shaft until it reaches the hair follicle. A small electric current is sent through the needle where it zaps the hair follicle destroying it and the growth cells around it.

There are 3 main types of electrolysis removal treatments

Thermolysis Electrolysis Removal: This has also been called radio treatment or high-frequency treatment. It works by sending alternating current that provides heat at the follicle, burning it and killing it.

Galvanic Electrolysis Removal: Considered to be the original electrolysis removal method. This process involves sending a direct electric current down a needle (Probe) that we spoke about above already. In more detail when the zap occurs at the follicle it reacts with the tissues saline to produce sodium hydroxide (lye), a caustic agent that destroys the hair bulb and dermal papilla with are the growing cells at the follicle. The patient has to hold a metal rod covered with conductive cream or gel so that the current set in milliamperes can pass through the body easier. This is where it get painful because depending on the patient’s pain threshold the technician controls the duration of the electric pulse. This method of electrolysis removal is very slow and painful as it may require more than 60 second per individual hair including repeated needle insertions down the hair shaft into the follicle.

Blending Electrolysis Removal Method. This is a combination of Thermolysis and Galvanic so that a chemical and heating action occur at the same time in the follicle killing it.

There are no clinical studies showing the effectiveness of one method over the other only that it does work with some effectiveness. What can affect the effectiveness of the electrolysis removal method is the current phase of growth the hair is in. Only hairs in the growth phase (anagen) should be treated because hairs in the resting phase (telogen) are believed to be more resistant to damage. Anagen-phase hairs can be distinguished easily from telogen-phase hairs by shaving the area to be treated and, in a few days, treating only those hairs visible on the skin surface (anagen-phase hairs).

There are better least pain full and less expensive electrolysis removal methods and you should see our Verseo ePen Reviews for more detail.

Laser Hair Removal In The News

laser hair removal side effects

Is Laser Hair Removal Safe?

Most people don’t realize just how unsafe laser hair removal can be because most of us seek permanent hair removal treatments without doing any research on our own. When I was investigating the best hair removal solution I thought for sure it would have to be either laser hair removal or electrolysis removal but both have risk involved. One thing I have noticed is that no matter who you talk to or what website your on everyone says that they have the best hair removal solution even if it is laser hair removal.

Naturally I am always looking for proof of these claims when I noticed in the news yesterday about a woman who was suing for 5 Million dollars because she claims that the laser hair removal process that she had done left her with spotted skin, scars and no sex life.

Quoting from the article: “QUEENS, N.Y. (CN) – A woman claims that unlicensed plastic surgeons at a laser hair-removal clinic “polka dotted” her skin and ruined her sex life. She claims that New York Attorney General Cuomo allowed the LaserKlinic to falsely advertise itself as “the most professional and friendly staff in the industry” offering a laser treatment with “few side effects.

Laser Hair Removal Side Effect

The key message here is that there really are side effects to laser hair removal treatments and it’s crazy expensive and there is a risk that the lasers can actually damage the skin if left tool long.

“After seeing the company’s website, Nahum says, she made an appointment for a $2,500 treatment on her legs, arms and back. Nahum says she wanted to cancel her second treatment after the first one burned her skin, but a supervisor persuaded her that the clinic would use less-irritating lasers the next time.
But Nahum says the operators of the machine “kept the laser in the same place for too long and did not follow required procedures and protocol given the plaintiff’s skin type and skin color,” inflicting more scarring.”

Laser Hair Removal Is Not For Me

I feel bad for Nahum that the laser hair removal didn’t work out for her. This proves that you cannot always go by what a website tells you and that you should always be looking for real customer reviews on what the Best Hair Removal Product is just like we discuss on this site.

If you are considering Laser Hair Removal you may want to seek other options by first checking out a real review of a permanent hair removal solution.

Electrolysis Hair Removal Kit

The Electrolysis Hair Removal Kit

I was asked if I could find an Electrolysis Hair Removal Kit by my wife on her birthday but I could figure out why I could not find one anywhere. That is because the only Electrolysis Hair Removal Kit available are commercial units used by clinics and spas and require a trained operator to use it. The process is really quite delicate and not something you want to try at home. If not done correctly can cause bleeding, and scaring.

One the oldest methods used for permanent hair removal is a process called electrolysis and it is performed in a clinic or spa.

This process is very expensive and slow because each hair follicle and the growing cells around it are killed. A needle is slid beside the hair shaft, which can be very painful, and then an electric shock is then sent through the needle all the way down to the hair follicle, Zap! This process is very painful but causes permanent hair removal.

Electrolysis Hair Removal Kit Review

What I did find was an Electrolysis Hair Removal Kit called an ePen, which can give you the same results as a professional electrolysis but without the “PAIN” or “COST”.  Also you can use it on more than one hair at a time. This unique product has many advanced features, which include skin-sensor, automatic timer/buzzer, and LED indicator lights. Front of hand-held unit has an adjustable head to ensure comfortable position when using cotton bud/Q tip treatment on face – ideal for treating unwanted facial hair including eyebrows and upper lip.

Using The Electrolysis Hair Removal Kit

For the larger treatment areas the Electrolysis Hair Removal Kit comes with a set of Conductive Gel Pads provided. This allows you hands free treatment of the upper lip, legs, arms, under arms and bikini line. The Verseo ePen allows many hairs to be treated simultaneously. All types of hair can be effectively removed forever. As this amazing technology is needle free. There is no pain, scarring or pitting associated with needle electrolysis.

Apply conductive gel provided to treatment area. Insert cotton bud/Q tip into gold cotton bud/Q tip holder. (If using double-ended cotton bud/Q tip, cut in half). Dip cotton bud/Q tip into gel and apply to treatment area. Small pulses of completely safe electrical energy pass through the gel on to the cotton bud/Q tip. When the cotton bud/Q tip is applied to the treatment area, this energy passes through to the hair follicle. The water and salt solution are then chemically changed to sodium hydroxide, which slowly destroys the hair root and papilla. This allows for the painless and permanent removal of the hair.

The Verseo pads that come with the Electrolysis Hair Removal Kit work the same way as above. The self-adhesive pads also contain conductive gel, ready for treatment. Simply apply the self-adhesive pads, which are connected to the main unit via a lead, slide the function button to FACE PAD or BODY PAD, then sit back and relax – The Verseo ePen will do the rest. You should also see the other Verseo Electrolysis Hair Removal Kit options.

The Verseo ePen is the best Electrolysis Hair Removal Kit that you can do right at home.
