Electrolysis

Electrolysis is a revolutionary way to remove unwanted hair because it is the only method considered absolutely permanent. Many individuals try very hard to get rid of the unwanted hair from multiple areas of the face and body. There are some ways to remove the hairs like manual plucking by tweezers, hot or cold waxing, using any depilatory cream or shaving. However, all these measures are temporary means. Fortunately, Electrolysis has provided the answer being permanent hair removing solution.

What is Electrolysis?

An ultra-thin metal probe like hair is inserted into hair follicle and electricity is passed through the probe, which causes localized damage to the hair follicle. Skilled and expert electrologists use precise amount of electric pulse and the appropriate equipment to burn the hair bulb and the hair follicle in the anagen phase and achieve high rate of success in this permanent hair removal solution.

Types of Electrolysis

  1. Galvanic Electrolysis - It works on the principle of chemically converting salt and water into sodium hydroxide (lye). Lye produced in sufficient amount damages the cells responsible for hair growth.
  2. Thermolysis - It works on the principle in which water molecules vibrate to produce enough heat to damage the cells responsible for hair growth.
  3. Blend - Recommended by most electrologists, this process is based on the theoretical assumption that lye when heated gets caustic in nature. If performed skillfully, it gives the most successful results. It acquires its name because it is based on the combination of both methods of galvanic electrolysis and thermolysis.

How Long is the Procedure?

Depending upon the area is to be covered; Electrolysis may take half an hour to several hours. Multiple sitting is usually needed to get the better result.
