Title: Q: thermolytic or blend electrolysis, what's your experience(s) ?
Post by: CharleneT on September 01, 2009, 10:02:20 AM
Hey all,

I was wondering what experience or knowledge anyone might have about the difference between thermolytic and blend electrolysis.  I have had both recently and the thermolytic was faster and less painful.  The Blend, slower and more painful.  After doing a little reading about them I can't figure out which is better.  Some say one, some say the other ...arrrggg...  I'd rather go with the faster/easier, but in the end I want the hair gone and as few pits as possible !!  Confused    ??? for sure

Thermolysis left me with pitting.  I had my electrologist switch to galvanic.  I have not tried blended.

I am blended and I have had good results.  I have not noticed any pitting

I've been scouring the internet for info... not actually a lot out there!  So far though the trend is definitely that blend is better than thermolytic.  I will say that my face is taking longer to heal up after the thermolytic.  I think I'm going for blend only from now on.  Speed is good, but clear face is better ( as well as healthy one ).
