Are Infection Control Precautions followed by Electrologists?
Yes! The professional electrologist will use only pre-sterilized needles and forceps for each treatment. Also, universally accepted standards of infection control and general hygiene will be followed. Does Electrolysis hurt? The patient might feel a slight tingling sensation since each hair follicle is surrounded by its own network of nerve endings. The sensation, which may be felt, is assurance that destructive activity is taking place. The use of modern computerized equipment helps minimize discomfort. Also, there are various techniques for reducing pain such as topical anesthetics. Some feel that pain from electrolysis is less than the sensation felt from plucking hair.
