Permanent Hair Removal – Electrolysis

Electrolysis

Have you tried laser but white or fine hairs still persist?
Do you have a few isolated hairs on the face?

It may be time to consider another method of permanent hair removal: electrolysis.

✔ Is Electrolysis Permanent?

Electrolysis is one of the most reliable methods of permanent hair removal, used by professionals for decades with excellent results.

During the treatment, the hair follicle is carefully cauterized, destroying not only the existing hair but also the cells responsible for future hair growth.

Permanent Hair Removal – Electrolysis

When is Electrolysis Recommended?

Electrolysis is ideal when:

Permanent hair removal is required
Treating white, blonde, or fine hairs
Removing individual hairs without affecting surrounding areas
Treating delicate areas such as the face

How Does It Work?

The procedure requires precision and expertise.
A very fine probe is inserted into the hair follicle, delivering a small amount of electrical current.

This process destroys the hair root and the responsible cells, leading to permanent elimination of the hair.

How Often Are Sessions Needed?

Due to the hair growth cycle, sessions are typically recommended once per month.

Hair Growth Cycle

Hair grows in three phases:

Anagen (growth phase): Best stage for effective treatment
Catagen (transition phase)
Telogen (resting phase): No effective result, as the hair is already inactive

Optimal results are achieved during the anagen phase, when the hair is actively growing.

Electrolysis vs Other Hair Removal Methods

Advantages:
✔Effective for all hair types, including white and fine hair
✔Immediate confirmation of follicle destruction
✔ Targets individual hairs without affecting surrounding skin
✔ Ideal for areas with moles or skin lesions

Disadvantages:

More time-consuming compared to laser
May cause mild irritation lasting about one hour

Suitable Age

There is no strict age limitation.
However, it is generally recommended after childhood, commonly starting during adolescence (15–17 years old).

Can It Be Done Year-Round?

Yes, electrolysis can be performed throughout the entire year, regardless of sun exposure.

Pregnancy

Electrolysis is considered a safe method, with no known effects on pregnancy.
The electrical current used is minimal and applied locally at a very shallow skin level.
