CASE STUDIES

Note: Below are case studies for facial hair removal as well as underarms, bikini hair removal, and other body parts. Some of the "after" photos will show some hair remaining. Photos were taken at the completion of each set of 6 treatments. If a patient has no hair remaining he/she does not return for an "after" photo. The "after" photo may be the last photo that was taken, and the patient possibly took up to six treatments following that photo, then did not return for the treatment during which we would have done the final photograph because he/she was satisfied with the result and needed no further treatment.

Had they returned in three months for the regular follow-up photo, the area would have exhibited no hair. Where the "after" photo shows no hair, these were usually taken when the patient was in the office to get another area treated.

Sometimes the patients did not allow the area to be totally cleared because they didn't desire a totally denuded appearance.

Upper Lip

The upper lip of a 24 year old female patient had never had any temporary removal methods used. "Before" count was 33 hairs per square centimeter.

Nine months later, after a total of four and two-thirds hours of treatment and the hair density of the area was 4 per square centimeter; it had been two months since the area had been treated when the final photo was taken.

This 20 year old female patient who had bleached the area previously. The "Before" photo shows 65 hair per square centimeter. Seventeen months and eight and one quarter hours of treatment later, the "after" photo was taken.

Eleven weeks since her last treatment, she only had 12 very fine hairs in the square centimeter where the 65 coarse ones had originally been.

Chin

The "before" shot shows unwanted chin hair of a 22 year old black female who wanted the black hairs removed on her chin; she had only cut the hair prior to treatment; hair density was 12 hair per square centimeter.

Ten months later, the hair density is only one hair per square centimeter; seven weeks had elapsed since the last treatment and the patient had received five hours of total treatment.

This shows a 28 year old Hispanic male who didn't want to shave because of the skin irritation it caused. He had only shaved the area prior to beginning treatments. He received four hours of treatment over 16 months.

Jawline

This show the jawline just below the earlobe. This 33 year old female patient had received treatment in another city but had discontinued for five months due to moving. In the photo is seen basically a five month growth and a hair density of 10 hair per square centimeter.

After three and one half hours of treatment over a period of nine months, the hair density was reduced to one per square centimeter. It had been three weeks since her last treatment.

The photos shown are included to show that many times, the actual texture of the skin improves when the hair is permanently removed.

Neck

This 36 year old female had tweezed the hair from her neck prior to beginning treatment; this photo was taken one week after she had last tweezed. The "after" photograph was taken one month after her last treatment.

The time elapsed between the two photos was 19 months. During that time, she had a total of ten and two-thirds hours of treatment on her neck.

Axilla (Underarm area)

Prior to electrolysis, this 32 year old female had only shaved the area. The "before photo" shows 23 hair per square centimeter. The "after" shot was taken 9 months later and was taken 6 weeks after her last treatment. She had only one hair per square centimeter; total treatment time was twelve and one half hours.

Breast

The 30 year old patient had tweezed the area two years prior to treatment.

The "after" shot was taken 18 months later, five weeks since the area had been treated; she had a total of five and two-third hours of treatment.

This 25 year old patient had done nothing to the hair prior to having the area treated.

The "after" photo was taken one month after the last treatment. She had a total of five and one quarter hours of treatment.

Upper Abdomen

This shows the upper abdomen (navel at top center of photos) of a 28 year old female. Prior to beginning electrolysis treatments, she had done nothing to camouflage or remove the hair. Among other things, she wanted ingrown hair removal. The hair growth extended from the top of the pubic hair to the umbilicus (navel), with a count of 12 hair per square centimeter. After 28 hours of treatment over 22 months, the count was zero.

The "after" photo was taken one year after treatments were completed when the patient began treatment on another area of her body.

This is the abdomen of a 23 year old female.

The results were achieved in 12 months with less than two hours of treatment. Note how the skin no longer has ingrown hairs and sores.

Bikini line (upper thigh)

35 year old female previously had three months of treatment in another city. Four months later she began treatment with AMEC. The "before" photo shows 8 hair per square centimeter. Two months after one 30 minute treatment, her hair density was only 3 per square centimeter.

Her results were so remarkable that we made the photo. Another "after" shot was not taken as she completed her treatment prior to the sixth treatment when the photo would have been made. This case is just a "one in a million" chance but is included to illustrate the extremes that can occur in this type of treatment.

31 year old female had only shaved prior to treatment and had a hair density of 16 per square centimeter.

Three months later, after a total of four hours of treatment, her density was five per square centimeter; it had been two weeks since her last treatment. This patient moved from the area so subsequent pictures were not made. She did write that six months later she was to the point that she only needed about 5 minutes every two or three months and was thrilled that she could wear her high-rise bathing suit with no embarrassing "fallout".
