Electrolysis is permanent and is the only FDA approved method of permanent hair removal. It uses electrical currents to destroy hair follicles, preventing future hair growth. An extremely fine hair sized probe is inserted into each follicle, not puncturing the skin and a small electrical current is applied. This current heats the follicle and triggers a chemical reaction, effectively destroying the bulb of the hair each time. The procedure is repeated for each individual hair follicle. Approximately 93% of electrolysis treatments result in permanent hair removal, making it a highly effective method for achieving lasting results.
