Is electrolysis reliable and safe?

Electrolysis, a technique first developed in 1875, is the only safe and permanent method of hair removal approved by the FDA. Top

How is electrolysis performed?

During electrolysis, an electrologist inserts a sterile probe into the hair follicle. The probe is then slightly heated to destroy the follicle so that each hair can be easily and permanently removed. Because treated follicles are destroyed, the results of electrolysis are permanent. Top

Does electrolysis hurt?

You will likely feel a mild stinging during treatment. However, there are ways to lessen or eliminate the pain. If you are particularly sensitive to pain, you can use special creams to numb the treated area and you should avoid caffeine on the day of your treatment. Top

Will the hair grow back?

Electrolysis usually destroys a hair follicle after one treatment. Once a follicle has been destroyed, it is no longer capable of producing a hair.

For extremely thick, dark hair, it may take an additional treatment to destroy the follicle. Top

Will electrolysis scar my skin?

No. At worst, you'll experience a slight redness or swelling in the treated area. You can eliminate these symptoms with ice and other topical treatments.

It is essential that individuals who have recently had an electrolysis treatment keep the treated area clean and refrain from touching or picking at the area. It is quite normal for tiny scabs to appear; this is part of the healing process. Scarring may occur if the client picks at these scabs, so a speedy, healthy recovery really depends on the client.

Will I bleed during electrolysis?

No. Electrolysis does not pierce the skin. The electrologist inserts the needle into a hair follicle, sends an electrical current through the needle, and kills the hair. The electrologist then pulls the dead hair from the follicle with tweezers. You do not have to worry about hygiene, either, because the needle is a factory sterilized, disposable probe. Top

Isn't electrolysis really expensive?

Electrolysis requires you to make an initial investment of time and money, but in the long run you will end up freeing yourself from the expense and hassles of temporary hair removal methods. You are investing in something you'll have forever: a smooth, hairless look. Top
