Electrolysis is a permanent hair removal method approved by the FDA. It works by using a tiny probe (about the size of a hair) that’s inserted into the hair follicle. A small electric current is then delivered to destroy the hair growth cells, preventing future hair from growing in that follicle.
How It Works:
A fine, sterile probe is inserted into the natural opening of the hair follicle.
An electric current is applied to heat and destroy the follicle’s growth center.
The treated hair is removed with tweezers.
Types of Electrolysis:
Galvanic – Uses chemical reaction from electric current to destroy the follicle.
Thermolysis – Uses heat from high-frequency current.
Blend – Combines both for more effective results, especially on coarse or stubborn hair.
What to Expect:
Multiple sessions are required, since hair grows in cycles.
Can be done on any skin tone and hair color (unlike laser hair removal).
Common areas: face, underarms, bikini line, eyebrows, and more.
A mild stinging or warming sensation is normal during treatment.
Benefits:
Permanent hair removal
Safe for all skin types and tones
Precise—great for small or delicate areas like the face
