How does it work?

It works by the principle of destroying the hair at its growth center, the follicle. The hair follicle is treated with chemicals and heat energy to destroy and prevent future growth. Probe is inserted into the hair follicle and then hair is removed with tweezers.

Who can undergo electrolysis treatment?

Anyone whose health conditions allow to undergo electrolysis can undergo electrolysis hair removal. It is always important to get approval from your medical doctor and to inform your provider of any medical conditions.

Side effects?

There are no permanent side effects connected to electrolysis treatment. Minor side effects include redness and slight irritation right after the treatment. Some people experience breakouts that can be prevented with proper treatment if done under supervision of board certified physician. Usually any side effects are short term and go away within few weeks.

Pros and Cons?
