Electrolysis hair removal

Treatment and procedure

Electrolysis is a method of removing individual hairs from the face or body.

For successful and effective results, each individual hair requires repeated treatments. This is because each individual hair has its’ own growing cycle called Anagen, Catagen and Telogen.

Anagen is the ‘alive’ and growing stage, Catagen the ‘collapsing’ stage where the hair collapses away from its source of food and nourishment (the dermal papilla) and the Telogen stage where the hair is ‘tired’ and dying and disconnected completely from its dermal papilla. Successful treatment for electrolysis (and incidentally also laser and ipl) has to target the hair in Anagen to achieve optimum results as it is the destruction of the dermal papilla which is required. Therefore results are not immediate and take a little time… but electrolysis does work and it is permanent. A very fine probe is inserted directly into the hair follicle where the heat is then transmitted to the dermal papilla destroying the life supply to the hair, the hair is then removed with tweezers.

Treatment times will depend on the amount of hair to be removed and the area in which is being treated. However in most cases now we will only use electrolysis to clear blonde, white or red hairs on larger areas.
