The largest organ in our body is our skin. Knowing this, we can actively work to achieve healthy, younger looking skin. As active working individuals we tend to neglect ourselves and our health. We often take care of everything and everyone else around us, but it’s important to re-energize and take time for ourselves too.
There are many ways to achieve beautiful, healthy skin as well as good physical health. Some of these things include eating whole, unprocessed foods that include berries, whole grains, wild caught fish, lots of clean water and getting enough sleep. All of these things benefit our overall health including how good (or bad) our skin looks.
In order to achieve and maintain the healthy youthful skin we’re all looking for, we should avoid such things as smoking, drinking too much alcohol, and exposure to the sun without sunscreen.
We know that our skin is like a sponge and is capable of absorbing things in our environment, such as pollution in the air, lotions, makeup, chemicals in our water, and chemicals we use for cleaning. These impurities in our environment can have an affect on the health and beauty of our skin as well as our immune system.
Your skin will greatly benefit from a healthy lifestyle, high grade products for our skin and organic products for cleaning our homes.
In addition to these healthy lifestyle changes, add professional skin treatments to combat the aging process. These treatments all help the aging process and give you a more youthful look. As an added bonus professional treatments can improve your skin’s health!

Electrology is the science of permanent hair removal. Using state-of-the-art technology, a minute amount of electricity is gently applied to the base of the hair follicle. This process destroys the hair growth tissue. Therefore, the regenerative ability of the hair follicle is permanently eliminated.
The term electrolysis is used to describe all methods of permanent hair removal. The electrolysis modality was the first method used to remove hair permanently back in 1875. The term electrolysis branded the process of permanent hair removal.
An electrologist inserts a very fine needle (probe) into the hair follicle alongside the hair shaft (keep in mind how tiny hairs are). A minute amount of current is then applied to destroy the hair growth cells.
Medical electrolysis devices destroy the hair growth cells with chemical or heat energy. All modalities equally destroy hair growth cells that causes hair growth. The modality used is the preference of the professional electrologist.
Electrolysis is the ONLY FDA APPROVED METHOD FOR PERMANENT HAIR REMOVAL.
There are three modalities used today that fall under the heading of electrolysis:
- Galvanic or electrolysis is a chemical process. The current produces a chemical reaction in the hair follicle eliminating the hair growth cells. This method is widely used in the multiple needle galvanic electrolysis, utilizing up to 16 needles simultaneously. This is the preferred method for coarse body hair.
- Thermolysis or short-wave produces heat. When this modality is used it heats and destroys the hair growth cells in the follicle. This modality can be utilized in two ways: (1) flash method of thermolysis uses high intensity current for less time in the follicle (2) the current is used at lower intensity and longer timing.
- The blend method combines galvanic current with thermolysis current. Thermolysis heats up the chemical reaction in the follicle destroying hair growth cells. This is the preferred method for facial hair.
