About Lima Electrolysis
About Shelly Mooney, CT
I started to go to a local Electrologist years ago when my kids were little. I was embarrassed to have anyone know so I told my kids I was going to the doctor when I was leaving for my appointment because as kids are they tell the truth to others and that was the last thing I wanted them to tell anyone.
I went for a few years and became somewhat friends with my electrologist. She never had kids of her own and soon tried to talk me into going to school and taking over her clients. It took me a couple years to warm up to it. She would say you have the perfect personality. And one day she had me come in and work on her arm. I still wasn’t sure. Then the year my oldest daughter started her senior year that summer before I went on vacation and came home and said to myself. I want what Karen has. So I finally made my mind up to go to school. Then the hard part started. To find a school. There were only two approved by the Ohio State Medical Board and one was in Cleveland which had already started for the year and the other was in Lexington, Kentucky. I finally decided to go to Lexington which really my only option and was to far for a mother to go to school, but I did it.
I graduated from Southeastern School of Electrology in March of 2009. I took my boards soon after and was in business by August 1st of 2009.
With no regrets here I am. Years later. Lots of hard work and practice I love helping people and changing their lives so they have much more self esteem and feel better about themselves. Each and every person I realized that comes to me does this for themselves only and no one else.
About Our Equipment
Lima Electrolysis has two top of the line epilators. An epilator is the device used to remove the hair. Using an epilator with a very fine filament to follow the hair with current destroys the hair follicle on the inside of the skin. Then using tweezers each hair is removed after treated. We use two devices the first one is a Clareblend epilator. This epilator is used for the blend. The second epilator is an Apilus, It is used for straight heat or the flash method. Both machines have very good results.
I use loupes for magnifications to epilate the hairs.
Cotton balls and witch hazel to wipe the skin.
Tweezers to grab the hair after I treat each hair.
History of Electrolysis
Dr. Charles Michel an opthamologist, in St Louis, Missouri published his first clinical report in 1875 reporting his successful removal of a painf\ul ingrown eyelash in 1869, from a patient by inserting a fine needle hooked to a battery using galvanic current to destroy the hair follicle so the eyelash never regrew, hence the birth of electrolysis.
Since then electrolysis has been used far and wide to help eliminate unwanted hairs helping many people for medical and cosmetic reasons changing their life for the better.
Still today electrolysis is the ONLY FDA APPROVED METHOD for permanent hair removal.
