Electrolysis
Electrolysis is a highly effective hair removal method that uses electric currents to target and destroy hair follicles, preventing future growth. Unlike temporary methods such as shaving or waxing, electrolysis offers a permanent solution for smooth, hair-free skin. Whether you’re looking to address unwanted facial hair or body hair, electrolysis is suitable for all hair types and skin tones.

How Electrolysis Works
Step 1
A thin probe is gently inserted into the hair follicle at the surface of the skin.
Step 2
An electric current is delivered through the probe to destroy the follicle and root.
Step 3
The hair is carefully removed with tweezers..
Types of Electrolysis
- Galvanic Electrolysis: Uses a direct electric current to create a chemical reaction that destroys the follicle.
- Thermolysis: Uses high-frequency radio waves to generate heat, targeting the follicle and disabling hair growth.
- Blend Method: Combines both galvanic and thermolysis techniques, offering maximum efficiency for stubborn hair.
Benefits of Electrolysis
- Permanent Results: Once a follicle is destroyed, it will not regrow.
- Works on All Hair Types and Colors: Unlike laser treatments, which are more effective on dark hair and light skin, electrolysis works on all hair and skin tones.
- Precision: Ideal for treating small or sensitive areas like the face, eyebrows, and upper lip.
Common Treatment Areas
- Face: Chin, upper lip, and eyebrows
- Bikini Line
- Underarms
- Arms and Legs
What to Expect During Treatment
- Multiple Sessions Needed: Hair grows in cycles, so multiple treatments are necessary to catch each follicle in its active phase.
- Mild Discomfort: Some clients experience mild discomfort, but numbing creams can be applied to minimize any pain.
- Temporary Side Effects: Redness, swelling, and sensitivity are common immediately after treatment, but these typically subside within a few hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target the pigment (melanin) in hair follicles. The heat generated by the laser damages the follicle, inhibiting future hair growth over time.
While laser hair removal offers long-lasting reduction, some hair may regrow over time, though it’s usually finer and lighter. Occasional maintenance sessions may be needed to maintain smooth results.
Most people require 6–8 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Multiple sessions are necessary because hair grows in different phases, and the laser is only effective during the active growth stage.
The treatment is generally well-tolerated. Many describe it as feeling like a rubber band snapping against the skin. Modern laser systems use cooling technology to reduce discomfort, and numbing cream can also be applied for sensitive areas.
Treatment times vary depending on the area. Small areas like the upper lip can take 5–10 minutes, while larger areas such as the legs or back may take 30–60 minutes.
Laser hair removal can be performed almost anywhere on the body, including:
- Face: Upper lip, chin, and sideburns
- Underarms
- Bikini area and Brazilian
- Arms and legs
- Back and chest
Yes! While older laser technologies were more limited, modern lasers are safe and effective for a variety of skin tones. During your consultation, your provider will determine the best laser type for your skin and hair.
Laser hair removal works best on darker hair due to its higher melanin content. Light, blonde, gray, or red hair may not respond well. For these cases, electrolysis is often recommended as an alternative.
Some temporary side effects may occur, including:
- Redness
- Mild swelling
- Skin sensitivity
These effects typically resolve within a few hours. Your provider will guide you on aftercare to ensure a smooth recovery.
Before Treatment:
- Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for at least 2 weeks.
- Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your session.
- Avoid waxing or plucking hair between sessions.
After Treatment:
- Use sunscreen on treated areas to protect your skin.
- Avoid hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts for 24 hours.
