NY Electrolysis
Discover a more efficient way to permanently remove hair!
Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method of hair removal. Licensed Electrologist Yuki Arai, L. E., C. P. E, uses a unique two-handed method to shorten the treatment time and keep clients comfortable.
Ms. Arai’s meticulous, careful work on your skin makes
the hair removal treatment even at ease.
What is electrolysis and what are the benefits of the treatment?
Electrolysis is a method of permanent hair removal which removes individual hair one at a time. While other hair removal methods, such as lasers, only work on the surface, electrolysis uses disposable needles to penetrate deeper into the skin, thus inducing more permanent effects. Electrolysis can be used on all skin types and doesn’t damage your skin. Anyone can do it – people who have thick hair, thin hair, any color of hair. Since each hair is treated, the success rate is very high. Also, there is no risk of hurting or burning your skin.
The machine used for electrolysis is different from most other hair removal machines in that it has air going through it. Air is flowing through the place where you insert the needle, which also lowers the temperature of the top layer of the skin and also eliminates the discomfort of the needle going into the skin, so it is not too uncomfortable.
How do you choose which type of needle is used?
I use three types of needles here depending on the client’s skin type, hair type, and the area which is getting hair removal. The first type of needle is insulated with a special coating all over it. When inserting a needle into the skin, the heat does not come up to the surface of the skin, and therefore the skin will not get burned. This type of needle is used on customers who have stiff hair, or on areas such as a man’s back or beard/moustache, or a woman’s bikini line. A 24k gold needle is used for people with sensitive skin. It is used on places such as your face, sideburns, chin, etc. For some people, their skin is so sensitive scars remain afterwards. So we use this kind of needle on those types of clients, or people with atopic allergies. The third kind of needle is a stainless steel needle. It also has a coating so the heat does not come to the surface of the skin. It is used on people who have regular skin whose hair type is not particularly weak or strong, and can be used on the face or on the body.
Tell us your special method of performing electrolysis.
In order to save time, I use a two-hand technique. Most electrologists use their dominant hand. However, I use one hand to hold the needle holder, and I use tweezers with my other hand. With one hand, I insert the needle into the hair follicle and after putting heat onto the hair, I can tweeze it out. If you only use one hand to perform this task, you have to switch between tools all of the time. I got special training to learn to do this, so I can reach any place with either hand without having to put down any tools.
Is there anything to keep in mind when we consider electrolysis?
There are some, but the most important thing you should know is that the way you remove unwanted hair regularly may affect your hair growth. For example, waxing and tweezing literally pull out your hair from the roots changing your hair growth cycle, and is closely related to permanent hair removal strategy. This can ultimately delay the speed of permanent hair removal process. Shaving, on the other hand, works only on the surface and it doesn’t change the hair growth cycle. So, I recommend shaving if you plan permanent hair removal.
The founder and electrologist of NY Electrolysis, Yuki Arai, first established her career as an aesthetician and electrologist in Japan. After moving to the United States, she obtained an electrologist license in the State of New Jersey, which requires 600 hours of training in theory and technique. With solid technique and experience in both countries, Ms. Arai provides a hair removal treatment service that guarantees optimal satisfaction.
