What is Electrolysis?
Electrolysis is a method of permanent hair removal that involves the use of a fine probe inserted into the hair follicle, through which a small amount of electrical current is applied. This current destroys the hair growth cells, preventing future hair growth. Unlike other hair removal methods such as shaving, waxing, or laser treatments, electrolysis targets individual hair follicles and is effective on all hair types and skin tones. This meticulous process ensures that treated hairs do not grow back, offering a long-term solution for those seeking smooth, hair-free skin.
​
Electrolysis employs three primary modalities: galvanic, thermolysis, and blend. The galvanic modality uses a direct electrical current to produce a chemical reaction within the hair follicle, creating lye which destroys the hair growth cells. Thermolysis, also known as short-wave or radio-frequency, uses alternating current to generate heat within the follicle, effectively coagulating and destroying the cells responsible for hair growth. The blend modality combines both galvanic and thermolysis techniques, leveraging the strengths of each to enhance effectiveness, particularly for coarse or stubborn hairs. By utilizing these three methods, electrolysis can be tailored to suit different hair types and treatment areas, providing a versatile and comprehensive approach to permanent hair removal.
​
​Keep in mind that once the journey and process of electrolysis has begun, it is important to commit and continue treatment consistently to receive desired results. While electrolysis is permanent, hair that is left untreated can cause the hair to strengthen itself and return back to its original diameter and depth. It's also important to note that there are varying factors that can influence growth such as certain medications and hormones.
