Smooth Face. Smooth Body. Hair Removal.

Electrolysis involves permanently removing hair utilizing a fine, stainless steel, sterilized, disposable probe and electrical current. The probe, about the same size of the hair, is carefully inserted into the follicle alongside the hair by a skilled. A small amount of current is administered; just enough so the hair can be removed without resistance (the hair should not be pulled out) and the skin is not harmed. This is repeated over and over until the desired area is cleared.

Electrolysis

What is electrolysis?

Electrology is the science of permanent hair removal. Using state-of-the-art technology, a minute amount of electricity is gently applied to the base of the hair follicle. This process destroys the hair growth tissue. Therefore, the regenerative ability of the hair follicle is permanently eliminated.

An electrologist inserts a very fine needle into the natural opening of the hair follicle alongside the hair shaft (keep in mind how tiny hairs are). A minute amount of current is then applied to destroy the hair growth cells.

Medical electrolysis devices destroy the hair growth cells with chemical or heat energy. All modalities equally destroy hair growth cells that causes hair growth. The modality used is the preference of the professional electrologist.

There are three modalities used today that fall under the heading of electrolysis:

Galvanic or electrolysis is a chemical process. The current produces a chemical reaction in the hair follicle eliminating the hair growth cells. This method is widely used in the multiple needle galvanic electrolysis, utilizing up to 16 needles simultaneously.

Thermolysis or short-wave produces heat. When this modality is used it heats and destroys the hair growth cells in the follicle. This modality can be utilized in two ways: (1) flash method of thermolysis uses high intensity current for less time in the follicle (2) the current is used at lower intensity and longer timing.

The blend method combines galvanic current with thermolysis current. Thermolysis heats up the chemical reaction in the follicle destroying hair growth cells.

How many treatments are required?

The number of treatments varies for each client. Sessions can last between 15 minutes to over an hour, depending on the treatment area. Factors such as hair growth cycles, hair quantity and structure, previous hair removal methods, genetics, hormones, medications, and stress all influence the number of treatments needed. Following the recommended treatment plan is essential for achieving the best results.

Hairs grow in cycles, and not all can be eliminated in one session. Deep, coarse hairs may require multiple treatments to break down growth cells effectively. A personalized treatment plan will be created during your consultation to meet your specific hair removal needs.

Hair grows in cycles, and not all hair is visible at the same time. Hair follicles produce hair from the blood supply and eventually shed it. This continuous cycle of growth, rest, and shedding will persist until hair growth naturally stops.

Electrolysis treatments may cause a slight stinging sensation, but tolerance levels vary. Even the most sensitive clients find the treatment manageable. The discomfort is brief and ends quickly after each pulse.

Yes, electrolysis is effective on all skin and hair types. It can treat most areas of the face and body, including:

  • Eyebrows
  • Chin
  • Upper and lower lip

  • Breast and underarms
  • Abdomen
  • Bikini line
  • Legs and back

A custom treatment plan will be designed to target your individual needs.

After treatment, slight redness may occur, varying from person to person. Electrolysis technology today is more comfortable and effective than ever. Your electrologist will provide detailed post-treatment care instructions to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
