    Study Notes

    Hair Removal Terminology

    • Hirsuties: Excessive hair growth in areas typically covered by fine downy hair, more common in women’s faces and men’s backs.
    • Hirsutism: Condition of excessive hair growth primarily affecting women.
    • Health screening form: A crucial questionnaire used in skin care services, disclosing medications and known skin issues or allergies.

    Hair Removal Techniques

    • Electrolysis: Permanent hair removal method that uses electric current to destroy hair growth cells.
    • Photoepilation (IPL): Utilizes intense light to disrupt hair follicles; non-invasive and minimal side effects.
    • Laser hair removal: Uses laser beams to target and disable hair follicles, particularly effective during the anagen (growth) phase. Requires darker hair than the surrounding skin for optimum results.
    • Shaving: The most frequently used temporary hair removal technique, particularly for men’s facial hair.

    Client Considerations

    • Autoimmune diseases: Conditions like lupus can cause adverse reactions to hair removal methods.
    • Skin conditions: Clients with rosacea or eczema may experience heightened inflammation post-treatment.
    • Medications: Certain prescriptions, including antidepressants and topical treatments like Retin-A, may disqualify clients from hair removal services.

    Hair Removal Tools and Methods

    • Electric clipper: Used for removing hair in hard-to-reach areas such as the nape of the neck.
    • Tweezing: Precision method mainly for shaping eyebrows or removing facial hair.
    • Natural arch of the eyebrow: Defined by the orbital bone, with hair growth potentially occurring above and below this area.
    • Depilatories: Caustic substances used for temporary hair removal; may irritate sensitive skin and require patch testing.

    Epilation Techniques

    • Epilator: Removes hair directly from the follicle; examples include wax, which can be hot or cold.
    • Waxing frequency: Recommended every 4 to 6 weeks for optimal results.
    • Hair length for waxing: Hair should be at least 1/4" long for effective waxing.

    Skin Care Post-Hair Removal

    • Post-treatment care: Aloe gel and cool compresses can soothe redness and swelling after waxing sensitive skin.
    • Mole caution: Avoid waxing over moles to prevent trauma.
    • Wax application restrictions: Do not apply wax to warts, moles, abrasions, or inflamed skin.

    Techniques and Precautions

    • Tweezing technique: Stretch skin taut using index finger and thumb before removing hair.
    • Temperature check for wax: Always test the temperature of heated wax on the inner wrist before application.
