Electrolysis Probes Make the Difference
Choosing the Right Probe for Electrolysis for Permanent Hair Removal
Today, I want to share that electrolysis probes for hair removal can make a big difference. The most important rule for using the proper probe is to make sure the electrolysis probe matches the diameter of the hair being treated. The proper diameter probe allows the probe to destroy the derma papilla most effectively.
It is also important to be informed on the type of probes an electrologist is using, as there are several different kinds. At Limoges Electrolysis in New York City, I use mostly insulated and gold probes by Ballet. Ballet is the industry leader worldwide in sterile disposable electrolysis probes and is considered the best. To learn more about Ballet probes, you can visit Ballet Needles. Below is an explanation of why and how insulated probes benefit the client being treated.
Insulated Probes for Hair Removal by Electrolysis
“Insulated probes are becoming more popular and they are highly recommended by most electrologists today. The probes consist of stainless steel and are coated with medical grade Teflon. When using an insulated probe, the energy emitted with each impulse converges at the tip of the probe and the base of the follicle, where the hair growth cells are located. This focusing of the energy, exactly where it’s needed, increases the effectiveness of each insertion, thereby allowing your power setting to be slightly reduced. Reducing both the intensity and duration of the current will increase the client’s comfort, but it is also important to understand that the insulation provides another level of protection. It protects the surface of the client’s skin from cutaneous reactions that can occur when current touches the skin surface.”
You can see here that only current is coming out of the probe’s tip, destroying the dermal papilla. The rest of the probe is coated, protecting the skin from the heat of the current.
Gold Probes for Electrolysis Hair Removal
Limoges Electrolysis also uses insulated probes. Gold probes are considered the highest quality and are great for sensitive skin. They are also wonderful for those who have sensitivities or allergies to nickel or stainless steel.
