How Does Electrolysis Work?

Electrolysis uses a low level electrical current to remove hair permanently. The current is delivered to the Dermal Papilla (the source of nourishment for the hair located at the base of the follicle) and the productive organ or matrix of the hair through a very fine sterilized and disposable probe inserted into the follicle along the hair shaft. Once the current is applied and the papilla and the reproductive organ/matrix of the hair are destroyed, no further hair growth will occur.

Repeated treatments are necessary to achieve permanency, however, hair that does return is thinner and less resilient. Once the dermal papilla is completely eliminated, new hair growth from the follicle is absolutely impossible. All other methods of hair removal are not permanent. Tweezing and waxing will remove the hair shaft from the follicle, but will not destroy the life source of the hair, thus return growth is certain. 
 
The surface of the skin is never penetrated. While the feeling varies with the individual, many people report that waxing and tweezing actually cause more discomfort. We use sterile disposable probes that are never reused, and tweezers are sterilized in an autoclave after each use.

How Long Will Each Treatment Take?

How Long Is The Recovery Time?

No recovery time is necessary. You can return to work and normal activities immediately after a treatment.

How Often Will I Need To Come In?

It depends on the type of hair and the varying cycles of growth.  

How Many Treatments Will I Need To Achieve Permanent Hair Removal?

The amount of time required, or the number of treatments, varies with each individual. Factors include the size of the area to be treated and the average number of active hair follicles per square inch. Previous methods of hair removal also play a factor.
