ELECTROLYSIS

Electrolysis is a permanent hair removal method that uses a fine probe to deliver a controlled electrical current directly into the hair follicle, destroying its ability to produce new hair. Unlike laser hair removal, electrolysis is effective on all hair colors and skin types, including light, grey, red, and fine hair, making it the only FDA-recognized method for permanent hair removal.

It is commonly used to treat small or stubborn areas such as the face, chin, upper lip, neck, bikini line, and areas where precision is essential. Electrolysis is especially beneficial for removing hormonal hair growth, treating ingrown hairs, and finishing areas after laser treatments to eliminate remaining resistant hairs.

Because each hair follicle is treated individually, electrolysis provides highly precise, permanent results, making it ideal for clients seeking a long-term solution to unwanted hair. With a tailored treatment plan and multiple sessions, electrolysis offers safe, effective, and lasting hair reduction with minimal risk when performed by trained professionals.

Electrolysis is particularly suited for clients who want a targeted and permanent solution to unwanted hair in delicate or hard-to-treat areas. It is ideal for shaping eyebrows, refining hairlines, removing isolated coarse hairs, and treating areas where laser may be less effective or unsuitable. As hair grows in cycles, a series of sessions is required to achieve optimal and long-lasting results, with each treatment progressively reducing hair density and regrowth. When performed by a qualified practitioner, electrolysis is a safe, precise, and reliable method that delivers true permanent hair removal, helping clients feel more confident and comfortable in their skin.

What an Electrolysis Treatment Involves

During an electrolysis session, a very fine sterile probe is inserted into the hair follicle, and a controlled electrical current is applied to destroy the root of the hair. The hair is then gently removed with tweezers. Each follicle is treated individually, making the procedure highly precise. Sensation varies from person to person, but most clients describe it as a mild stinging or warmth. Treatment duration depends on the size of the area and the number of hairs being treated, and multiple sessions are required to target hairs at different growth stages.

How to Prepare for Electrolysis

To ensure the best results, clients are advised to avoid waxing, tweezing, or threading in the treatment area for at least 2–3 weeks before the session, as the hair root must be present. Shaving is usually acceptable. Avoid sun exposure, tanning, or active skin irritation prior to treatment, and arrive with clean skin free of makeup, lotions, or oils. Staying hydrated and well-rested can also help minimize skin sensitivity.

What to Expect & How to Care for the Skin

After electrolysis, the treated area may appear slightly red or swollen — this is normal and typically subsides within a few hours to a couple of days. Clients should avoid touching the area, applying makeup, excessive heat (such as saunas or hot showers), and sun exposure for 24–48 hours. A soothing or antiseptic product may be recommended to support healing. Following proper aftercare helps reduce irritation and ensures optimal, long-lasting results.
