Electrolysis Hand Hair Removal Treatment

Video Transcript

"We're going to treat Pam's hands, but there's a lot of things to consider when we treat hands, or other areas of the body. You've got to assess the issue. Now with Pam, she has a super--say for an example--she has a super amount of hair on her hands, and they're really thick, and they're black. Then I would recommend laser for Pam. Because it's kind of tedious. And the knuckle on the toes, I would say, like the ears, are a very sensitive area. There's certain--and like so, the nose. And there's a couple of other areas of the body I won't discuss (private areas) that are very sensitive. But to treat her hands, those are the questions I would ask. But truly Pam, to look at her, she has thin and sporadic hairs, not a real serious problem. It wouldn't pick up. There's not enough color in that hair to pick up on a laser. So we're going to go into electrology. Now I'm going to have Pam aim me her hands--look at--I'm going to assess it, and then the angular growth. Pam has the hair growing at this angle (a lot of the hair). So I'm going to do as I've done before. Slide the probe down the hair follicle. You're going to hear the delay on the air flow. And I'm going to treat--and now--she had wrapped her hands in EMLA, and so they've been--her knuckles are nice and numb. Because Pam's a sensitive girl. She has a low pain tolerance, so we don't want to make her uncomfortable. We're going to be very cautious to keep her very comfortable. There goes that last hair that I'm going to treat for this demonstration."
