The permanent hair removal procedure known as electrolysis is used to address excessive or undesirable hair growth. It is safe to use to remove facial hair and the rest of your body hair. An experienced electrologist will use an electric current to remove hair throughout your sessions. The technique has no unpleasant side effects.
One method of hair removal is electrolysis. A small wire is inserted into the hair follicles near the skin’s surface by a qualified electrologist. The hair root is harmed by an electric current that leaves the follicle and goes down the wire. Damage to the follicles stops the growth of new hair and results in the shedding of the existing hair.
Over a century has passed since the invention of electrolysis. It was initially created to get rid of bothersome ingrown eyelid hairs. The FDA has only approved electrolysis as a permanent hair removal technique.
