This vocationally related qualification focused on carrying out advanced electrical epilation techniques to treat skin tags, milia, telangiectasia, spider naevi and blood spots.
Advanced electrical epilation techniques refer to methods used in the removal of unwanted hair using electrical devices. These techniques are commonly employed in dermatology and cosmetology practices. Some advanced techniques include galvanic electrolysis which involves the chemical decomposition of hair follicles using direct current.
Meanwhile, thermolysis uses high-frequency alternating current to generate heat and destroy hair follicles. The blend method combines the advantages of both, making it effective for different types of hair.
Also known as flash thermolysis or high-intensity thermolysis, this method uses short bursts of high-frequency alternating current to rapidly heat and destroy hair follicles. It’s known for its speed and effectiveness.
Another of the techniques is multiple needle electrolysis, which involves the simultaneous insertion of multiple needles into hair follicles, allowing for the treatment of larger areas in a shorter amount of time. It’s particularly useful for areas with dense hair growth.
Other methods include Computerised Electrolysis Systems, Radiofrequency Epilation, Automated Hair Removal Devices, Optical and Electrical Synergy (OES), Galvanic Patch Technique, The latter involves the application of a conductive patch containing a galvanic current to the skin’s surface, targeting multiple follicles simultaneously. It’s less invasive than traditional electrolysis methods but may require multiple sessions for optimal results.
Microneedling and Chemical Peels Level 4
Microneedling and chemical peels are two of the most popular cosmetic procedures. They can be used to address various skin concerns, including acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and overall skin rejuvenation.
