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.
