Definition

DEPILITORY

A depilatory is a substance, usually a caustic alkali preparation, used for the temporary removal of sudperfluous hair by dissolving it at the skin’s surface. It contains detergents to strip the sebum from the hair and adhesives to hold the chemicals to the hair shaft for the five to ten minutes necessary to remove the hair. During the application time, the hair expands and the disulfide bonds break. Finally, such chemicals as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, thioglycolic acid, or calcium thioglycolate destroy the disulfide bonds. These chemicals turn the hair into a soft, jelly-like mass that can be scraped from the skin. Although depilatories are not commonly used in salons, you should be familiar with them in the event that your clients have used them.

 

 

Term

EPILATORS

An epilator removes the hair from the bottom of the follicle. Wax is a commonly used epilator, applied in either hot or cold form as recommended by the manufacturer. Both products are made primarily of resins and beeswax. Cold wax is somewhat thicker and does not require fabric strips for removal. Because waxing removes the hair from the bottom of the follicle, the hair takes longer to grow back. The time between waxings is generally four to six weeks.

Sugaring is another temporary hair removal method that involves the use of a thick, sugar-based paste and is especially appropriate for more sensitive skin types. Sugaring is becoming more popular and produces the same results as hot or cold wax. One advantage with sugaring is the hair can be removed even if it is only ⅛-inch long. Removing the residue from the skin is simple, as it dissolves with warm water

Also known as INTENSE PULSED LIGHT

Uses intense light to destroy the growth cells of the hair follicles. Can provide between 50 & 60% clearance of hair in twelve weeks. Requires no needles, has minimal sides effects, and minimizes the risk of infection.
