Electrolysis Hair Removal

Electrolysis hair removal is a time-honored process that offers a permanent solution to unwanted hair for many people. Invented in France, electrolysis hair removal procedures harness the power of electricity to penetrate hair follicles to destroy them at their roots. While this method can be highly effective, there are some caveats that interested clients should consider before having the procedure administered.

Perhaps most importantly, electrolysis is highly invasive. An electrologist must insert a needle into each hair follicle to enter through the skin into the hair follicle at its base. The needle has low-level electric current flowing through it, which can increase the danger of shock to some patients.

Electrolysis Hair Removal Versus Laser Hair Removal

Electrolysis hair removal is often compared to laser hair removal. Both processes can be touted as permanent, although results do vary by client. Electrolysis requires fewer sessions than most laser treatments, but the sessions are much lengthier. Whereas a laser session will typically last 10-15 minutes, an electrolysis session on a comparable area could take more than an hour.

Laser treatments are non-invasive and can be completed during a lunch break. Furthermore, they are typically painless when handled by an experienced practitioner. Electrolysis hair removal treatments guarantee pain, just given the fact that the needle has to come into contact with nerve endings in the skin.
