Understanding Electrolysis
WHAT IS ELECTROLYSIS?
Electrolysis is the permanent removal of hair by use of electric current (DC). Electrolysis is the only FDA approved method of permanent hair removal.
HOW IT WORKS
A sterile probe is gently inserted into the follicle along side the hair. A measured amount of energy is then released via the probe into the follicle to destroy the source of the growth.
METHODS
There are three acceptable modalities for permanent hair removal with electrolysis, Galvanic (DC), Thermolysis (AC), and Blend (Dual). All three modalities are safe and effective to destroy the hair root and the hair germ cells the cause hair growth.
