Electrolysis Hair Removal

What is Electrolysis?

Electrolysis is the only FDA-recognized permanent hair removal treatment. It works by inserting a tiny probe into each individual hair follicle and delivering a small electrical current that destroys the follicle’s ability to produce new hair.

Unlike laser hair removal, electrolysis is effective on all skin tones and all hair colors, making it an excellent option for patients seeking a permanent solution to unwanted hair.

How Does Electrolysis Work?

A very fine, sterile probe is gently inserted into the natural opening of each hair follicle. A controlled electrical current is then applied to destroy the cells responsible for hair growth without damaging the surrounding skin. Once treated, the hair is removed with tweezers, and future growth from that follicle is permanently prevented.

Electrolysis provides a permanent solution for unwanted hair by treating each follicle individually. It is a safe, precise, and effective treatment for both men and women and can be customized to virtually any area of the body.

What Happens During Treatment?

Your provider will carefully treat each unwanted hair individually using a fine probe. Most patients describe the sensation as a slight tingling or brief pinch. Treatment times vary depending on the size of the treatment area and the amount of hair being removed.

Since hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are typically recommended to permanently treat all active follicles.

When Will I See Results?

Results are progressive with each treatment. As more follicles are permanently treated, hair becomes finer, lighter, and less noticeable until it no longer grows back. The number of sessions needed varies based on the treatment area, hair density, and individual hair growth cycles.

Why Choose Electrolysis?

  • Permanent hair removal solution
  • Safe for all skin tones and hair colors
  • Suitable for virtually any area of the body

How Long Does Treatment Take?

Treatment sessions can range from 15 to 60 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated and the number of hairs present. Your provider will recommend a treatment schedule based on your individual goals.
