Electrolysis has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a permanent hair removal technique with an impressive success rate, yet multiple sessions may be needed before optimal results can be seen. Due to many variables influencing hair growth, regular visits with your electrologist will ensure every unwanted hair is removed on its due date.
Your individual pain tolerance will determine whether or not electrolysis causes any discomfort; however, most clients find today’s methods surprisingly comfortable; most describe the sensation as pinching, snapping or building warmth. If necessary, an electrologist can apply topical anesthetic prior to beginning treatment to numb the area before commencing the procedure.
Electrolysis has a track record dating back over 130 years and remains one of the few permanent hair-removal solutions. Electrolysis’s success lies in its ability to effectively eliminate all types of unwanted hair – ingrowns and distorteds typically caused by hormonal imbalance – as well as its permanent option for eliminating vellus hairs that appear around cheekbones or eyebrows.
Electrolysis provides you with long-lasting results when you visit an electrologist on a regular basis, to ensure that each hair is removed in its natural cycle and that results are achieved as planned. Therefore, it’s essential that appointments be scheduled frequently – most clients opt for once weekly or bi-weekly visits until all desired areas have been successfully treated.
After an electrolysis appointment, it is wise to limit sun exposure for at least 24 hours afterward in order to decrease the likelihood of hyperpigmentation in the treated area. To reduce risk, it is recommended that you utilize a broad spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen and wear long sleeves and pants whenever possible. If redness or swelling appears after your appointment, applying a cool compress may provide some comfort while decreasing inflammation. After your appointment, your skin may feel sensitive for 24 hours following treatment, however this usually resolves itself within this period. After speaking with an electrologist regarding post-treatment care for your skin and following their instructions regarding cleansers, moisturizers or regrowth serum use they will recommend. It’s also important not to pick at or irritate the treated area as this could lead to scarring and infection resulting in scarring and infections requiring future surgeries for repair.

Electrolysis has long been recognized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an FDA-approved permanent hair removal method and boasts a proven record of safety and results.

Electrolysis involves inserting a fine sterile probe into the opening of a hair follicle, where an electric current is discharged to destroy hair growth tissue within. Electrolysis is performed skillfully by experienced electrologists and completely painlessly; many clients read books or use laptops while waiting their turn in chair for their appointment.
Electrolysis treatments will vary according to individual circumstances, with your electrologist providing an estimate at your consultation. Treatment time varies based on hair type and thickness as well as how active follicles are – electrolysis works by attacking their roots deep inside your body where hair growth cycles continue.
As soon as a hair is at its peak growth cycle, treatment will be most successful and faster results will follow. We advise visiting an electrologist at least once every week in order to maximize success and get faster and better results from treatment.
Electrolysis can effectively treat facial and body hair, and is particularly useful in areas with thick or coarse locks – like arms, neck or back. Furthermore, electrolysis is used to address excessive hair growth caused by hirsutism.
People often fear electrolysis due to its perception as being painful. With today’s advanced electrology equipment, however, you should feel no discomfort during electrolysis treatment – only momentary sensations when the wire enters hair follicles such as mosquito bites or quick snaps may occur when inserting the wires – some even compare this experience with being hit by mosquitoes! For sensitive skin users a topical anesthetic may be applied prior to sessions to lessen any potential discomfort.
Electrolysis offers several other benefits as well. Shaving can cause razor burn, razor rash or folliculitis (an inflammation of hair follicles resulting in red, itchy bumps).
