Transdermal
Hair
Removal
There
are
basically
two
types
of
transdermal
hair
removal
devices.
One
is
like
an
electric
tweezer.
The
other
and
more
popular
transdermal
hair
removal
device
is
a
cotton
swab
that
transmits
a
low-voltage
electrical
current.
You
spread
a
conductive
gel
over
your
skin
and
press
the
swab
to
your
skin.

The gel
is passes the e
lectric
current to your hair follicles,
destroying the hair and
its root. These devices
are generally sold for home
use and are fast, painless,
and permanent. Sometimes,
these devices are called
transdermolysis, or needleless
electrolysis, and you can
find them online, at drug
stores, and in some salon.
Is transdermal
hair removal permanent?
No. But on the
plus side, some of these devices
do get rid of hair, especially
if the hairs you are trying
to remove are fine and not
very firmly attached. Some
women find that the results
last for months and are pleased
with the results. Women with
faster hair growth find that
hair comes back in a few weeks.
How time consuming
is a session?
The sessions
for transdermal hair removal
are not very time consuming
and while there is some discomfort,
there is almost no pain.
How much do
I need to spend?
The prices of
transdermal hair removal devices
and sessions vary. You can
usually get better value for
money if you buy a transdermal
device online as opposed to
drug stores or department
stores. If you’re going to
have to done professionally,
you will find salons charging
a little more for transdermal
treatments than for waxing,
while others charging a similar
fee for both.
Is there anything
else I need to know about
transdermal hair removal?
Yes. Be prepared
for some redness afterwards
and stay out of the sun once
you leave the salon until
your skin heals.
Still eager
to try this! How do I go about
it?
If you are determined
to try transdermal hair removal,
either find a home transdermal
kit or a salon. Only buy transdermal
devices if you can buy them
at a store with a fail-safe
return policy.
