Electrolysis & Me

Electrolysis is the process of permanently removing unwanted hair from a man or woman's body. It is performed by an electrologist (that's me) using a fine needle or probe that is inserted into each hair follicle. Next a determined amount of electricity is applied to the follicle, causing destruction to it. After the follicle is treated, it will no longer be able to produce a hair.

   The thermolysis method of electrology that I use is called the SIMPLE technique. SIMPLE (Sequential Inverted Micro-Pulsed Led Energy) treats the entire dermal area, including the papilla, with mini or micro amounts of pulsed electricity. I also use the multi-needle galvanic electrolysis method. This technique uses more than one needle or probe to produce a chemical in the follicles that will destroy its ability to produce hair.
   I am an Illinois Licensed Electrologist (LE) and a Certified Professional Electrologist (CPE) through the American Electrology Association (www.electrology.com). I am also a member of the Illinois Electrology Association (www.electrolysiseai.org). My business offers clients the convenience of being treated in their own homes or private offices. All of my equipment and supplies are brought to you. Each client is provided a prepackaged sterile needle, sterile forceps and sterile needle tip for each and every treatment. A portable massage table is also available to my clients if there is not another comfortable place to perform treatments.
   In addition to being an electrologist, I am also an electrolysis client. I have received treatments on my eyebrows, chin, upper lip, neck, sides of face, breasts and arms. As a client, I highly recommend asking LOTS of questions. No question is stupid. So please ask.

Hair removal is a private matter. It is important to feel comfortable with your electrologist and to understand what is going on during your treatments. It is my hope that The Traveling Electrologist's website as well as my blog (joellasblog.thetravelingelectrologist.com) will provide electrolysis clients, whether mine or a colleague's, the information and answers they are looking for.
