Question 1

What is electrolysis?

Accepted Answer

Electrolysis is the only FDA-recognized method of permanent hair removal. A tiny, sterile probe is inserted into the natural opening of the hair follicle, where a small amount of energy destroys the hair growth cells. Once a follicle has been successfully treated, it will no longer produce hair.Electrolysis is effective on all skin tones and all hair colors, making it an excellent option for permanent hair removal.

Question 2

Is electrolysis permanent?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Electrolysis is recognized by the FDA as the only method of permanent hair removal.Because hair grows in cycles, not every hair can be treated during the same appointment. Multiple treatments are necessary to permanently treat all hair follicles in the area. Your treatment schedule will depend on your natural hair growth, hormones, and consistency with appointments.

Question 3

How is electrolysis different from laser hair removal?

Accepted Answer

Laser hair removal works by targeting pigment (melanin) in the hair. It generally works best on dark hair and may not be effective for blonde, gray, white, or red hair.Electrolysis treats each hair follicle individually and is effective regardless of hair color or skin tone. It is commonly used after laser hair removal to permanently remove any remaining hairs that laser could not eliminate.

Question 4

Does electrolysis work on all skin tones and hair colors?

Accepted Answer

Yes.Unlike laser hair removal, electrolysis is effective on all skin tones and all natural hair colors, including blonde, gray, white, and red hair. Because each follicle is treated individually, skin pigmentation and hair color do not affect the success of treatment.
