Electrolysis

Electrolysis permanently removes unwanted hair.

Therefore, destroying the hair at its’ growth center. This is done by delivering heat energy directly to the follicle. As a result, electrolysis is highly effective at removing hair from small areas. In addition, electrolysis is great for destroying red, gray or blonde hairs. These types of hair cannot be eliminated with laser hair removal.

How does it work?

A licensed electrologist inserts a very fine filament (thinner than the hair being treated) into the hair follicle. Then a tiny amount of heat energy is applied. As a result, the hair is destroyed at its’ root.

eyebrows / chin / upper and lower lip / jawline / sides of face / breast / underarms / abdomen / bikini / / feet / legs / back
