Electrolysis During Pregnancy

Image
  Pregnancy can cause hormone fluctuations, oftentimes increasing the amount of hormones in the body, resulting in unwanted hair growth. The main hormones that cause this growth are called androgens. This growth can happen in different areas on the body including the face, chest, and abdomen. Also increased blood circulation and pump-up metabolism are bringing more nutrients to your follicles, which increase growth. Many people ask if it is safe to practice electrolysis during pregnancy. There have been no reports of electrolysis causing problems in pregnant women, and the practice has been around for well over 100 years. Many electrologists require a letter from your health provider authorizing treatment during pregnancy. If you chose to have electrolysis during pregnancy, there are some important guidelines your Electrologist should know and follow.

At Limoges Beauty , we use premium quality tools and equipment. In this article, we will be discussing everything there is know about the insertion probes we use.
