Permanent hair removal

No recovery time

No more ingrown hairs

How does Electrolysis work?

The electrologist inserts a very fine, sterile probe alongside the hair in the follicle (The skin is not punctured). A very slight amount of electrical current producing heat is applied through this probe, the heat reacts with the water in your skin and its heated water not electricity that destroys the hair root, ending further hair growth.

How many treatments are needed to achieve permanent results?

Electrolysis Treatment programs are tailored to the patient’s needs. Many factors determine the number and the length of treatments required. Some of these may include the condition of the skin to be treated, the sensitivity of the skin, and the number of follicles involved, and even past methods of hair removal can impact treatment. The closer  you adhere to the treatment schedule recommended by your electrologist, the more effectively you can free yourself of unwanted hair forever.

Does Electrolysis work on all hair?

Electrolysis brings the heat directly to the source and only destroys the cells that need to be eliminated, leaving the skin intact. And since it does not rely on the amount of pigment in the hair or skin, it can treat all hair and skin colors equally well.

What do I do with hair in between Electrolysis treatments?

Do not pluck or wax! If necessary, trim the hair with a pair of scissors or nip the hair with a razor (depending on the area on the body). Some women bleach the upper lip and sides of their face. Bleaching is acceptable as long as it is done the week before your next appointment. This time allowance is necessary because bleach can sometimes cut some hairs, so it is possible that not all the hairs in the area will be raised up enough above the skin’s surface less than a week after you bleach.

Is it painful?

There might be some discomfort when inserting the needle, but mostly, the couple of zaps of electricity can feel like the snap of a rubber band. And like a snap of a rubber band, it’s quick and the pain doesn’t linger. If you’re use to plucking, it’s about the same pain level.

Why does Electrolysis work better than laser?

Lasers destroy hair follicles using heat, but the heat must reach the base of the hair follicle, which lies beneath the skin. Yet the heat produced by lasers hit the whole surface of your skin (which is the reason you have increased chances of side effects such as burning). 

When the heat reaching the follicle is sufficient, it can delay the growth of or destroy the follicle.  But not enough heat always reaches the follicle, so the stem cells are only “stunned” and will regrow, which is why the F.D.A. only allows laser to market as hair reduction, not laser hair removal.
