What type of current does the blend method utilize?

The blend method in electrology utilizes both high-frequency and galvanic current. This combination allows the practitioner to achieve effective hair removal by using the advantages of each type of current.

Galvanic current, which is a direct current, works by causing a chemical reaction that permanently destroys the hair follicle. This occurs through electrolysis, where sodium hydroxide is produced at the hair follicle site, damaging it and preventing future hair growth.

High-frequency current, on the other hand, provides a thermal effect that can help coagulate tissues and further enhance the effectiveness of the treatment. By applying both current types simultaneously, the blend method maximizes efficacy, providing a more comprehensive approach to hair removal.

This nuanced understanding of the current types is essential in electrology as the blend method is often chosen for its effectiveness on various hair types and skin tones, leading to a more tailored and successful treatment plan for clients.
