|
|
The _______ ________ is defined as the part of the Hair located above the surface of the skin. |
Hair shaft the shaft |
|
|
The______ ______Contains the hair follicle and it’s appendages the follicle, Hair root, and the attached arrector pili he muscle and sebaceous gland |
Pilosebaceous unit |
|
|
Hair shaft |
Medulla (center) cortex (second) cuticle of the hair (outer layer) |
|
|
Hair growth cycle |
Anagen phase catagen phase Telogen phase Latent phase |
|
|
First stage of hair growth during which hair is produced |
Anagen |
|
|
Second transition stage of hair growth; in the catagen stage the hair shaft grows upward and deataches itself in the bulb. |
Catagen |
|
|
_________is the final or resting stage of hair growth. |
3rd Phase Telogen phase |
|
|
After the telogen stage, the follicle is empty and dormant. The old hair sheds and the cycle then begins again. the follicle can be void of hair in the telogen stage until it cycles back into the anagen stage. |
Latent phase 4th |

|
Hand method waxing |
With hand method the product is applied against the hair growth and removed in the direction of the hair growth using a thick application. This application is similar to hard wax it can be applied either warm or at room temperature with the hand. |
|
|
Spatula method waxing |
The product is applied with the hair growth as with soft wax and removed against the hair growth with the spatula and a strip |
|
|
Waxing |
The primarily hair removal method used by aesthetician is waxing. Wax is commonly used epilator, applied in either soft or hard form as recommended by the manufacture. Both products are made primarily of resin and beeswax. Wax is applied evenly over the hair and then removed. Hard wax is thicker than soft wax and does not require fabric strips for removal the benefit of waxing is that the hair takes longer to grow back in the skin feels soother without the hair or stubble. |
|
|
Sugaring |
Sugaring is another ancient method of hair removal dating back to the Egyptians it is an alternative for those who have sensitive skin or who react to waxes with bumps and redness. |
|
|
Threading |
And ancient method of hair removal is treading, which is still common practice in many Middle Eastern cultures today. |
|
|
Depilatories |
Depilatories is a substance usually a caustic alkaline preparation used for temporarily removing superfluous hair by dissolving it at the Skin level. Chemical depilatories example Nair |
|
|
Intense pulse light |
Different from a traditional laser the first generation lasers were a solid beam of light. Pulsed light produces a quick flash of light. The short powerful pulses shatter their target without allowing heat to build up and burn the surrounding skin. IPL is used for hair reduction as well as for vascular and pigmented lesions and skin treatments. |
|
|
Laser hair removal |
In laser hair removal laser beam is pulsed on the skin, impairing the hair follicle. It is most effective when used on follicles in the growth, or anagen phase. |
|
|
Laser and pulse light technology |
Photoepilation Uses intense light to destroy the growth of cells of the hair bulb photoepilation includes both hair laser removal and intense pulse light IPL to reduce growth. |
|
|
Thermolysis |
This method of electrolysis utilizes a high frequency current to produce heat, which coagulates and destroys the hair follicle. Thermolysis also known as electrocoagulation, destroys the hair by Coagulating-the papilla through heat. An alternating current AC passes through a needle causing vibration in the water molecules surrounding the hair follicle. this action produces heat, which destroys the papilla. |
|
|
Hair Papilla |
A cone-shape elevation at the base of the follicle fits into the bulb. this is the dermal papillae the connective tissue that contains the capillaries and the nerves. Hair Papali are necessary for hair growth and nourishment of the follicle. Vitamins, minerals, and nutrients are needed for strong, healthy hair. the blood vessel brings nutrients to the base of the bulb, causing it to grow and form new hair. Sensory nerves around the base of the follicle. |
|
|
The hair follicle and appendages |
1. Outer or dermis coat. 2. Inner or epidermic coat. 3. Cortex of hair. 4. Medulla of hair. 5. Cuticle of hair. 6. Inner root sheath. 7. Outer route sheath. |
|
|
Galvanic electrolysis: |
This method uses direct current, which causes chemical decomposition of the hair follicle. The galvanic method decomposes the popular, the source of nourishment for the hair. The needle is connected to the negative |
|
|
Electrolysis |
The process of removing hair by means of electricity is considered the only true method of permanent hair removal. |
|
|
Hirsutism |
medical terms are applied to excess hair growth. The first is hirsutism, which is excessive hair growth on the face, arms, and legs, especially in women. |
|
|
Hypertrichosis |
The second is hypertrichosis an excessive growth of hair. It is characterized by the growth of terminal hair in areas of the body that normally grown only Vellus hair. The amount of hair and individual has differs from person to person. What would be normal hair growth in one person might be extreme in another. |
|
|
Blend |
This method combines both systems sending a current through a fine needle or probe the blend method combines the benefits of the galvanic and the thermolysis methods bypassing AC and DC current through the needle at the same time results are reported to be quicker than with galvanic method alone. Are |
|
|
Temporary hair removal methods |
Temporary methods of hair removal include depilation and Epilation. depilation is the process of removing hair at or near the level of the skin.Both shaving and chemical depilation are included in this category. Epilation is the process of removing hair from the bottom of the follicle by breaking contact between the bulb and the papilla. |
|
|
Room preparation and supplies |
Tweezers, applicators, wax strips different sizes Linens/roll paper pre-and post epilation products |
|
|
Contra indications for hair removal |
Varicose vein’s Phlebitis Skin disorders, epilepsy, diabetes or any other medical conditions that are contraindicated Recent chemical exfoliation recent injectables recent laser or IPL treatments exfoliation of Retin-A or other vitamin A topical products recent use of Hydroquinone for skin lighting Recent use of topical or oral Cortizone medication Recent use of acne medication do not wax within one year for some Recent use of blood thinning medications (Coumadin, warfarin) Circulatory disorders phlebitis, thrombosis Chemotherapy or radiation Epilepsy, diabetes, hemophiliacs ( Face and body waxing) Auto immune disorders AIDS Lupus Medication such as tetracycline may have an adverse reaction to wax Rosacea or very sensitive skin, sunburn, inflamed skin bruising History of fever blisters are cold sores herpes Present a pustules or a papules on the area to be waxed Do not wax over scar tissue moles skin tags or warts or varicose vein‘s Do not wax over skin disorders eczema, seborrhea, psoriasis Do not wax papery- like or over thinned skin.
