This downy, un pigmented hair is the first type of hair that grows from hair follicles. It can be found everywhere on a baby's body, except on the palms, lips, and soles of the feet. Most fetuses develop lanugo around the fourth or fifth month of pregnancy Babies born prematurely tend to have more lanugo than babies born at full gestation. Some babies have thicker or darker lanugo than others. In all babies, vellus hair eventually replaces the lanugo Vellus Hair Vellus hair is the light, short, fine hair that covers much of a person’s body. The primary role of vellus hair is to protect the skin and keep the body warm. Vellus hair has a similar structure to terminal hair. Both types of hair grow from a hair follicle. Each hair follicle contains a gland that secretes sebum, an oil that lubricates the skin and hair. However, unlike terminal hair, vellus hair does not typically have a medulla. The medulla is a portion of the hair’s core that strengthens it, allowing it to grow longer. However, unlike terminal hair, vellus hair does not typically have a medulla. The medulla is a portion of the hair’s core that strengthens it, allowing it to grow longer. The thickness, color, and length of vellus hair will vary between individuals. In some people, vellus hair is only visible in bright natural light and at a close distance. Other people have slightly thicker and darker vellus hair that may be more noticeable. Some areas of the body may have thicker vellus hair than others. Terminal Hair Terminal hair, on the other hand, is the longer, thicker, and darker hair that grows on the head. It also forms the thick patches of body hair in the pubic region, under the arms, and beard. Terminal hairs may appear on other parts of the body, particularly after puberty. It is normal to find a few longer, thicker strands of hair in an area primarily covered with vellus hairs The growth of terminal hair is influenced by hormones. There are hair follicles all over the body. Hair Growth Cycle Vellus and terminal hairs follow identical growth patterns. The three phases of hair growth for both types of hair are: Anagen: The period of active hair growth, during which the hair grows longer. Vellus hair tends to have a shorter anagen phase than terminal hair. Catagen: A period of transition, during which the hair follicle contracts and limits blood supply. The hair can easily fall out during this stage. Telogen: A resting period during which the hair does not grow. Everyone will have hairs in all three stages of development at any one time. This is why some hair may regrow immediately after being plucked, but other hair may take months or even years to return . EpiBlading vs. Microdermabrasion Comparison EpiBlading Microdermabrasion Physical Exfoliation ✓ Removes Vellus Hair/Peach Fuzz ✓ Low Start Up Cost ✓ Increases Product Penetration ✓ ✓ 35+ 25-35 Target Market Safe for Telangiectasia ✓ Perfect Before Social Events ✓ Increases Client Loyalty ✓ ✓ The 45 Degree Angle What is a 45 degree angle and why is this important? Proper hand position and how the blade is handled is essential for obtaining optimal results  If the handle is held too high, away from the blade, less blade control is noted, thereby increasing risks of cutting the skin  More control and precision is felt when the index finger is held closer to the edge of the handle. This ensures an effective and precise control of the blade handle  Maintaining 45 degrees throughout treatment along with consisted hand pressure and skin tension, takes practice and continual adjustment to accommodate various facial contours  Important  Never prep skin using acetone, chlorhexidine or alcohol  Continuously ask for client feedback on pressure from both the blade and your supporting hand  Only use correct single-use, surgical blades for EpiBlading – 10R & 14  Dispose of blades in medical sharps waste container immediately post treatment  Do not use blades to remove terminal hair  Do not treat over moles, skin tags or broken skin  Do not use excessive pressure to support or when treating the skin  Use appropriate serum/glide on the skin during treatment Epi-Glide Epi-Glide is a Professional perfectly blended fine glide medium to provide a protective barrier for ultimate blading and client comfort.

We start on the forehead so that client and practitioner can ask and answer questions and get feedback on hand and blade pressure. • Make sure you can position yourself (whether you are standing or sitting) to the left, right and center of the client. This will help you maintain an ergonomic position throughout the treatment Treatment Steps First Aid Should an incident occur, it is important that you follow safe procedures. Your professionalism and preparedness are key in your continued successful out comes.  Make client aware of the cut and assure them that it will stop bleeding and heal very quickly  Don’t panic. Stop the treatment immediately.  Use 2x2 gauze to apply pressure to the area for 20-30 seconds  Apply corn starch to gauze and apply pressure to the area  If bleeding has stopped, continue with treatment on the rest of face  If bleeding has not stopped, elevate clients head, apply cornstarch and continue applying pressure. Bleeding typically settles within 30 seconds to 2 minutes. Once bleeding stops treatment may be resumed, avoiding that area  Ensure incident has been documented in the clients records and inform your supervisor or manager  Client follow up the next day to ensure the skin cut is healing well and client has been told not to pick or scratch the affected area. Be sure to end the conversation on a positive note ,talk about how soft her skin is , the ease of the makeup application, etc. Butter Blades Southmedic 10r Butter Blades are not designed to remove Terminal Hair only Vellus Hair as is has a smaller & thinner diameter ,Removing Terminal Hair with the butter blade will be uncomfortable for the client and your blade will be meet with resistance against the Terminal Hair . If you need to remove the terminal hair removed you can pluck individual hairs before treatment or please book client 72 before EpiBlading treatment if you are waxing. Aftercare  EpiBlading will result in some Trans epidermal Water Loss (TEWL). This is dehydrating, as some layers of the stratum corneum are removed, hence re-hydrating and replenishing the skin is vital and will alleviate any tightness or dehydration felt  Apply serum , masks eye cream moisturer & sunscreen  After the client’s treatment, it is important to reinforce a home maintenance program that the client should follow  Skin is sensitive to AHA’s and retinol products post Treatment  Client to refrain from sun exposure and must always use SPF 30+  It is imperative that the client refrain from excessive heat/strenuous exercise to avoid perspiration for 24 hours post treatment Troubleshooting Important Point “I’m not getting all of the hair off, the blade must be dull” Your are holding the blade at an angle higher or lower than 45 degree Keep the blade at a 45 degree angle “I’m seeing scraping or friction marks on my client skin ” The is very common and is is the result of no enough EpiGlide Medium or the skin is dehydrated if the skin is highly dehydrated a hydration mask is recommended after cleansing and before your EpiBlading Treatment Sanitation & Protection  Disinfect Tools  Blade handles, tweezers, scissors etc.  Barbicide must be used for sanitizing all equipment that are not disposable  Wash tools/instruments in warm water with soap and rinse thoroughly  Immerse Barbicide for a minimum of 10 minutes as directed  Remove and rinse and dry with paper towels  Store in clean, covered container or UV sanitizer  Autoclave, if available Assessment & Feedback  Your Trainer will now provide you with your EpiBlading exam  Please complete the Feedback form Consumables KG BEAUTY AND MODALITY PRACTICAL TRAINING ARE PROUND TO PARTNER WITH Excl usiv Supp e QLD li Of O er EpiB ur For all your l ad i Kits ng EpiBlading & Consumables The https://salonpacific.com.au/ NO 1 EpiB l Sout ading 1300 651 439 h Me dic 1 0 R Butt Salon Pacific Beauty Supplies is a boutique wholesaler of hair, nail and beauty products qualified team of ewith r Balhighly a des industry professionals.

Oftentimes, Epiblading is perceived just as shaving the area or face, however this is not the primary indication or reason of performing this treatment. Primarily partial removal of the epidermis via epiblading, like other mechanical exfoliating treatment, is to allow for enhanced product absorption, increased light penetration (LED, IPL and laser) or better efficacy of RF or needling treatments and the like. With EpiBlading, IPL or laser hair removal can be performed immediately after on hairs that have pigment, in order to achieve long term hair reduction. Alternatively, a hair retardant such, can be used immediately afterwards (daily application of homecare is required) to inhibit and slow down the growth where IPL or laser hair removal is not available or for lighter colored hairs, where these modalities are not effective. Frequently Asked Questions Continued Not only does EpiBlading leave you with a smooth complexion, but it also leaves the skin hair free for a period of time. Many people notice that they receive more compliments on their face after removing facial hair. Shaving does trigger increased skin cell turnover and mildly exfoliates your skin, whilst EpiBlading provides a deeper and more targeted exfoliation. The Surgical Butter Blade is designed especially for EpiBlading to gently exfoliate the epidermis and remove Vellus hair on the face the Butter Blade is not designed to remove terminal hair and will cause drag, other more effective ways to remove terminal hair are available. EpiBlading also provides much better exfoliation, which in turn leads to a smoother and brighter complexion. Here are all the amazing ways EpiBlading helps your face: Softens rough skin, leaving your face looking and feeling smooth      Brightens your skin tone Improves superficial hyperpigmentation Helps improve the appearance of mild scars Softens the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines Frequently Asked Questions Continued There is some confusion regarding hair that is epibladed or shaved, in that it makes the hair grow back thicker. This is not true as these methods only remove the tapered end of the hair only and gives the illusion that the hair is growing back thicker, however this is only temporary, once this particular falls out due to it coming to the end of its telegenic phase of the hair growth cycle, the hair that replaces that one has a taper and again appears thinner. Terminal hairs are thick, dense hairs that are often deeply pigmented so they appear much darker than vellus hairs. They also have deeper follicles than vellus hair so they start growing from further down in the dermis. Just as a terminal follicles become progressively vellus follicles, due to hormonal changes, the result being the production of a terminal hair. At puberty, vellus hairs in both males and females normally become terminal in the genital region and the axillae, as well as the face for males EpiBlading Myths EpiBlading Will Cause Your Hair to Grow Back Darker. This EpiBlading Myth that the procedure, your hair will grow back thicker, is inhibiting some potential clients from trying the procedure. There are two types of hair in the body – vellus and terminal. Vellus hair is the soft, brown hair that grows on the face and around the some parts of the body. Terminal hair, on the other hand, is stronger, thicker hair such as the hair on your head and pubic regions. It is biologically impossible for vellus hair to turn into terminal hair just by merely cutting it, there needs to be a hormonal trigger to allow this to happen. EpiBlading Myths EpiBlading Will Cause Your Hair to Grow Back Thicker. Cutting or shaving vellus hair cannot change the structure of the hair follicle. Cutting the hair off on the surface level of the skin, does so without even affecting the actual follicle. Hair grows at a blunt edge, so if you touch your face often, you may feel that hair growth coming back in and think that it is thicker, but that is not the case. Once the hair has fully grown back in, it will look and feel exactly the same as before. We always give the example of bald men shaving their heads – their hair doesn’t grow back any thicker or more. EpiBlading Myths EpiBlading Is Super Painful EpiBlading is totally pain free. In fact, it’s way less painful than waxing or threading. You use light feather strokes to remove the dead skin and vellus hair. It is not abrasive or painful at all. It’s is safe for all skin types, with the exception of those with active acne. EpiBlading Myths EpiBlading Will Cause Breakouts The truth is the exact opposite — not only will EpiBlading not cause breakouts, it will actually prevent them from happening. By exfoliating the dead skin, EpiBlading will help to keep your skin clear, it will also allow for much better product penetration. With the dead skin cells, oil, and debris removed in the follicle, the active ingredients will absorb quicker and more effectively, speeding up cell turnover and killing more bacteria. Removing that layer of dead skin with the EpiBlading Butter Blade tool will help to alleviate congestion. EpiBlading Myths You Can Use a Regular Razor to EpiBlade While you can use a regular razor to shave your face, you will not get the same results as you would if you used a proper Surgical Butter Blade. You will not get nearly the amount of dead skin and vellus hair removed as you will with a professional Epiblading treatment.
