Electrolysis: Permanent Hair Removal for all skin and hair types

About Electrolysis

Electrolysis is a method of permanent hair removal. By applying a small amount of electric current to the bottom of a hair follicle the root of the hair is coagulated. Since human hair grows in cycles - repeated treatments are necessary. It is important to catch the hair in the active growth (anagen) stage when it is attached to the bottom of the follicle and the root becomes accessible.
Electrolysis targets individual hair, thus allowing much more control and precision in Permanent Hair Removal. It becomes especially important in permanent eyebrow shaping. Earlobes are another area, where electrolysis shows its advantages over laser and IPL.

Electrolysis or Laser?

Since laser hair removal is efficient and cost-effective and very fast to accomplish large body parts it has become favourite both among clients and practitioners. However, there are cases when laser treatments are not recommended:
  • White/grey, blond or reddish hair does not contain enough pigment (melanin) and therefore does not absorb laser light sufficiently to achieve a desired level of hair removal.
  • Very fine "peach fuzz" type of hair is too fine and also can not absorb sufficient amount of laser light for effective removal.
  • When the skin is too dark so it is almost the same colour as the hair - there is an increased potential for the skin to also absorb laser light and be damaged - so the treatment may not be advisable.
  • Certain areas are not to be treated with laser at all - such as eyebrows due to its close proximity to the eyes and therefore making laser treatments unsafe. 
Unlike laser procedures - electrolysis is not light based, which makes it the only available option for the above mentioned categories of clients who want there hair to be removed permanently.
