Beverly Hills Hair Free Dallas (BHHF) is an inclusive practice, which means we have extensive experience in safely and effectively caring for the needs of diverse clients. We not only treat many men, but our electrologists have considerable expertise in hair removal for clients of color. Individuals travel from across North Texas and beyond to benefit from our wide-ranging perspective and skills, as well as our use of advanced electrolysis as a truly permanent alternative to potentially risky lasers and a highly efficient alternative to standard electrolysis methods.
What are the risks associated with lasers?
Lasers for hair removal are often not indicated for certain individuals, including those with melanated skin and light or gray hair. Laser-assisted hair removal is associated with an increased risk of permanent hyper, & hypopigmentation, scarring, and other damage among these groups. These risks of complications are due to how the laser targets and inhibits hairs. The laser seeks out the melanin in the area of unwanted hair. Melanin is the pigment that gives our skin, hair, and eyes its color. Lasers cannot distinguish between the melanin in the skin and the hair. So, individuals with light hair/darker skin may not be good candidates for this process. The laser has the potential to inadvertently target the skin instead of the hair, resulting in lasting damage as the energy from the laser generates heat. The heat can burn the skin and cause patchy discoloration, where the treated areas are either lighter or darker than the surrounding tissue.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Even among those individuals who are candidates for lasers, the results from this treatment are not permanent. To maintain smooth, hair-free skin, you would need to undergo regular “touch-ups.” Electrolysis is a truly permanent procedure. After the initial series of treatments, you will not need any follow-up or maintenance treatment sessions. For this reason, the FDA characterizes electrolysis as the only solution to remove unwanted hair permanently.
How is electrolysis safe for people of color?
Electrolysis is designed differently than lasers. It does not target melanin. Instead, it targets the stem cells in your hair follicles. Hairs grow through these follicles or sac-like structures. Once treated, the follicle is damaged. Hair growth at the treatment sites is permanently inhibited.
Additionally, electrolysis does not generate and deliver heat to the treatment sites. This form of permanent hair removal is powered by electrical impulses, which are applied via small probes inserted gently into the hair follicles. So, there is no risk of thermal/heat damage, burns, or other complications.
What makes your electrolysis method more efficient than standard electrolysis?
We use multi-probe galvanic electrolysis. A non-conventional form of Electrolysis which uses 16 to 32 probes to treat unwanted hair. Traditional methods use a single probe. By using this treatment method, BHHF Dallas can deliver hair removal results 30 times faster than conventional means. This makes for a more convenient and comfortable experience, as we minimize the contact between the follicles and the current used to disrupt the hair cycle for good. Additionally, our team goes above and beyond to ensure your comfort. We use natural calm balm to soothe any irritation and promote healing.
What areas do you treat?
Our electrolysis approach effectively and predictably treats most areas of the face and body. However, our male patients commonly request treatment for the neck, back, and shoulders. We can also use reshaping techniques to create a more balanced and attractive hairline.
Everyone should have access to permanent and safe alternatives to shaving, waxing, tweezing, and depilatory creams. We are proud to make temporary hair removal methods a thing of the past for all—including those with thick, curly hair types.
