What Is Electrolysis?

Electrolysis is permanent hair removal. Regardless of the cause - heredity, metabolic, or hormonal conditions - electrolysis will permanently remove unwanted hair to reveal a glowing, confident you!

Does It Work?

Of Course! Electrolysis is the only (and I mean ONLY) method approved by the FDA for PERMANENT removal of unwanted hair. Only electrolysis provides both hair removal and hair elimination.

Okay, Well HOW Does It Work?

Glad you asked! A small electric current is transmitted by a fine, sterile probe (or needle) directly into the natural opening of the hair follicle, destroying the dermal papilla, the matrix, and an area called "the bulge", all of which cause hair to grow and regenerate. As you continue sessions from your treatment plan created by your Electrologist, the regrowth of your hair will start to slow down and the hair will become more shallow.

Got it! Now, What Type Of Method Is Used?

The method chosen by the electrologist is the modality.

What are modalities?

Medical electrolysis devices can destroy the hair growth cells with chemical energy, heat energy, or both. All are effective and there are three different modalities that are currently in use:

Galvanic electrolysis is a chemical process. The current produces a chemical reaction in the hair follicle eliminating the hair growth cells.

Thermolysis (also called short-wave) produces heat. This modality heats and destroys the hair growth cells in the follicle. A higher intensity current can be applied for less time in the follicle, or current can be used at lower intensity with longer timing.

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