Electrolysis for Competitive Athletes

Every millisecond makes a difference

Electrolysis By Stacy Permanent Hair Removal for Athletes

In athletic competition, even a fraction of a second can make a difference. A streamlined profile can cut down on wind or water friction, provide a comfortable "feel" during athletic activity and make hygiene easier. Experts also say that athletes who participate in a sport which produces chafing could find some relief through hair removal. As a result, the taming, shaping, and permanant removal of body is going extreme for athletes.

Many athletes choose permanent hair removal with electrolysis.

The trend of widespread body hair removal, from back to arm and leg hair to the pubic region—even going totally bare—is most common among swimmers, cyclists and triathletes.

Athletes who turn to hair removal for improved athletic performance may choose to commit to weekly upkeep. But for those who would like the convenience of a permanent solution, electrolysis is the only effective option. Other methods may reduce the amount of hair or frequency of maintenance but only electrolysis is permanent.

Discuss your goals with your professional electrologist to develop a hair removal plan that meets your needs.

Top 10 Electrolysis Facts

1. Electrolysis is the ONLY METHOD of PERMANENT HAIR REMOVAL APPROVED BY THE FDA. Some lasers, not all, are cleared to advertise permanent hair REDUCTION, but NEVER permanent hair removal. If they do so, they are fraudulent advertising.

2. Electrolysis is SAFE for ALL SKIN TYPES. Even if your skin is very light and sensitive or very dark and sensitive, electrolysis can be performed.

3. Electrolysis WORKS on ALL HAIR TYPES. No matter if you have light, grey, black, blond, red or dark hair. This treatment will effectively and permanently remove your unwanted hair.

4. Electrolysis can be performed in any area of the body, including the area surrounding the eye, like the cheekbone and eyebrow where treatments can be tailored to match the shape of the face.

5. Electrolysis can successfully treat distorted hair, which is usually a hair-trait predominant in African, and African-American ethnicity.

6. Electrolysis can be performed in any stage of hair, and have successful results. In laser, the only time you can get this treatment is when the hair is in a stage called anagen. It is highly unlikely that ALL of your hair will be in that stage at the same time.

7. With Laser Treatments you need to avoid the sunlight for almost the rest of your life, especially if you do laser on your face repeatedly (which is not recommended; laser was built to perform treatments on the body).

8. Electrolysis will NEVER damage your skin to a nerve level. If you have a laser treatment from a person that is not well trained, you can have nerve damage or up to third degree burns.

9. With electrolysis you are NOT RADIATING YOUR SKIN (BECAUSE LASER IS AN EMISSION OF RADIATION), which can cause nerve damage, burns or hypersensitivity right after the treatment, or worse, permanent skin damage that may appear 10, 15 or 20 YEARS AFTER your treatment.

10. Some Electrolysis machines have up to 550 programs for each body part. That means the machine power can be adjusted, and is customized to each body part.
