At first glance, Microlysis may appear somewhat similar to Transdermal electrolysis; however, the two treatments could not be more different. Transdermal traumatizes the hair growth tissues by way of a negative charge (thereby creating sodium hydroxide inside the follicle shaft). Microlysis uses a positive charge, which creates a very mild chemical change in the tissue by producing hydrochloric acid. The HCl does have some minor impact on the lower follicle tissues, but the salicylic acid produces much more traumatization to the entire hair follicle itself. both the HCl and salicylic acid do work in unison (both having acidic pH and overall chemical properties). Microlysis and Transdermal would be somewhat equal in results if the
Microlysis treatment only used the first phase (salicylic acid). Where
Microlysis shows its superiority is when the anti-androgen (phase 2)
complex is added. The bio-active sterols and synthetic anti-androgens
are pushed through the skin into tissues where the hair growth is
supported. These anti-androgenic compounds are specifically designed to
block the hormonal signals which instruct the hair to grow. This creates an improved short-term result, which is such a major factor when keeping your patient motivated to continue the treatment regime. A full 90% of patient dropouts occur within the first 60 days. The faster they see results, the less likely they will 'dropout' from your practice. |
