What is Electroloysis? Electrolysis is the longest established method of permanent hair removal. Electrolysis has the longest known track record together with the most effective results for hair removal. Dr Charles Michel first used it successfully in 1875 to remove ingrown eyelashes. He discovered that once the follicle had been treated with electrolysis the hair was permanently destroyed. Electrolysis (Epilation) works by passing a small amount of energy into the hair follicle through a very fine needle. This produces heat which destroys the cells that produce the hair at the base of the follicle. More than one treatment will be necessary due to the fact that hair follicles have a specific hair growth cycle.

Electrolys treatment has a reputation for being painful. Most clients find that this is not the case when done correctly. You will not feel the probe in the follicle, you should not feel the probe insertion, and you should not feel the hair being removed. What you will feel is the current, which has been likened to a sting. There will be some pinkness of the skin following a treatment. These are minor irritations for the reward of eventually permanently removing the unwanted hair. If you feel the need, it is possible to purchase topical anesthetic creams, however most clients manage without. Treatment times will vary from 5 minutes to about 2 hours depending on the amount of hair growth and areas to be treated; however 10 to 30 minutes is the average per treatment. Frequency will again be determined by the amount of hair growth, but is is usually necessary to have weekly to fortnightly sessions at the beginning. It is important that the skin has a chance to settle between sessions. As the hair starts responding to treatment, growth will slow and the treatment times will become shorter or more spaced apart, until eventually there is no need for further treatment. The time this takes will depend on your hair, and the response your body makes to treatment and it is impossible for an electrolysis to tell you grow long this will be. It must be realized that electrolysis is slow but sure. Look forward to a hair free future.
