Electrolysis
Electrolysis is a method of removing individual hairs from the face or body. During the treatment, the electrologist typically will first apply a local anesthetic. Then, using a handheld device connected to an electrolysis machine, the electrologist will insert a fine needle into the hair follicle and apply a current that permanently destroys the cells that cause hair growth, then the hair is removed with tweezers. The patient might experience mild redness at the site, but can resume normal activity right away. Electrolysis safely and permanently removes hair from all skin tones. It is the only FDA-approved permanent hair removal treatment. Because electrolysis permanently destroys the growth cells in the hair follicles, the hair will not grow back.
Most areas of the body can be treated with electrolysis, including the eyebrows, face, abdomen, thighs, breasts, and legs. There are generally no permanent side effects, but sometimes a temporary, slight reddening of the skin may occur.
