  • What is Electrolysis?

    Electrolysis is a permanent hair removal method that uses electrical currents to destroy hair follicles, preventing future hair growth. It is a widely recognized technique for achieving long-term hair removal and is suitable for all hair and skin types.

  • How Does It Work?

    Insertion: A tiny probe is inserted into the hair follicle. This probe is very fine and designed to be as minimally invasive as possible.

    Electrical Current: An electrical current is then applied through the probe. This current can be in the form of galvanic (chemical reaction), thermolysis (heat), or a combination of both (blend method) to destroy the hair follicle.

    Hair Removal: Once the follicle is damaged, the hair can be easily extracted using tweezers. The follicle's ability to produce hair is permanently destroyed, preventing future hair growth.

  • What is the Downtime?

    Electrolysis typically involves minimal downtime. After the treatment, you may experience some redness, swelling, or minor discomfort in the treated area. These effects generally subside within a few hours to a few days. Most people can resume their normal activities immediately after the session.
