Electrolysis

Electrolysis is a method of permanent hair removal that uses an electric current to destroy the hair follicle. This technique involves the insertion of a fine needle into the hair follicle, delivering a brief electrical pulse to damage the follicle and inhibit future hair growth. Electrolysis can be performed on various areas of the body, including the face, underarms, bikini line, and legs, making it suitable for all hair types and skin tones.

Benefits

Permanent Hair Removal

Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal, offering long-lasting results.

Suitable for All Skin Types

Effective for individuals with different skin tones and hair colors, including fine or light-colored hair.

Targeted Therapeutic Approach

Targets individual hair follicles, making it ideal for small areas and sensitive regions.

Minimal Discomfort Treatment

Most patients experience only mild discomfort during treatment, which can be managed with topical anesthetics.
