Electrolysis hair removal is a permanent hair removal technique that uses electrical currents to destroy hair follicles, preventing future hair growth. It is commonly used to treat small areas and works on all skin types and hair colors.

How Electrolysis Hair Removal Works

  • A fine probe is inserted into the hair follicle.

  • An electrical current is delivered through the probe to the follicle.

  • The current destroys the follicle’s ability to produce hair.

  • The treated hair is then removed with tweezers.

Types of Electrolysis

There are three main types:

  1. Galvanic electrolysis: Uses direct current (DC) to create a chemical reaction that destroys the follicle.

  2. Thermolysis: Uses alternating current (AC) to produce heat, which damages the follicle.

  3. Blend method: Combines both galvanic and thermolysis for more effective treatment.

Benefits

  • Permanent hair removal solution.

  • Effective on all skin tones and hair types.

  • Safe when performed by licensed professionals.
