Are Insulated Needles Better for Electrolysis?
Yes, insulated electrolysis needles are often considered superior, particularly for sensitive skin or targeted treatments. These needles are coated along the shaft, exposing only the tip for energy delivery.
Benefits include:
- More precise heat targeting
- Reduced skin trauma and redness
- Faster client healing and comfort
- Ideal for thermolysis and blend techniques
They are especially effective for:
- Facial hair removal
- Clients with darker skin tones (to avoid hyperpigmentation)
- Areas near delicate skin zones
Use sterile, high-quality insulated needles from reputable electrolysis brands. Some professionals alternate with non-insulated types depending on client needs.
