What Is Electrolysis?
Electrolysis is an FDA-approved method of permanent hair removal that works by using an electric current to destroy hair follicles, preventing future growth.
Most areas of the body can be treated with electrolysis, including the eyebrows, face, abdomen, thighs, breasts, and legs. There are generally no permanent side effects, but sometimes a temporary, slight reddening of the skin may occur. At our clinic we offer this treatment for grey (white) hairs &for smaller areas like chin.
How It Works
A fine probe is inserted into the hair follicle.
A low-level electrical current is delivered to the base of the follicle.
This destroys the growth center of the hair (the root), causing it to fall out and preventing regrowth.
