Electrolysis is a cosmetic procedure for permanent hair removal. An electrolysis device uses electrical current to eliminate individual hairs with heat energy.
Electrolysis is frequently used to remove hair in sensitive areas like the face, chin, and bikini area, but the procedure can permanently remove any unwanted hair type on the body including white, grey, or red hair. Electrolysis is appropriate for both men and women, and it works on all skin tones.
What Happens During Electrolysis?
During electrolysis treatment, a probe is inserted into an individual hair follicle. An electrical current targets the hair’s root and growth cells, which will weaken the hair over time until it is unable to regrow. After the follicle is treated, the hair is removed with tweezers.
Yes, electrolysis permanently removes unwanted hair.
The length of an electrolysis session on the face lasts from 15 to 60 minutes. Weekly follow up appointments are highly suggested.
After electrolysis it is important to stay out of the sun and to avoid touching or scratching the treated area. Keep it clean and dry, and do not go in a swimming pool or hot tub for at least 24-48 hours.
Because hair growth is cyclical, multiple sessions are usually required. The timeline for follow up sessions can vary depending on the individual, hair density, growth patterns, and the amount of hair to be removed.
Electrolysis is ideal for white or gray hairs, neither of which can be effectively removed via laser hair removal.
Electrolysis is suitable for hair removal in tattooed areas. Electrolysis uses electrical current (not tattoo-damaging lasers) to eliminate unwanted hair.
