ELECTROLYSIS
What is Electrolysis
Electrolysis hair removal is a method of permanently removing unwanted hair by using an electric current to destroy hair follicles. A tiny probe is inserted into the hair follicle, and an electrical current is applied, which damages the follicle and prevents future hair growth.
There are three main types of electrolysis:
- Galvanic – Uses a chemical reaction to destroy the follicle.
- Thermolysis – Uses heat to damage the follicle.
- Blend Method – Combines both galvanic and thermolysis for more effective results.
Electrolysis is the only TGA-approved method for permanent hair removal and works on all hair colors and skin types, unlike laser hair removal, which is less effective on light-colored hair. However, multiple sessions are needed because hair grows in cycles, and only actively growing hairs can be treated at a time.
Benefits of Electrolysis Hair Removal:
Permanent Hair Removal
- Electrolysis is the only TGA-approved method for permanent hair removal. Unlike laser hair removal, which reduces hair growth, electrolysis completely destroys the follicle, preventing regrowth.
Works on All Hair Colors & Skin Types
- Unlike laser hair removal, which is less effective on blonde, gray, red, or white hair, electrolysis works on all hair colors and skin tones.
Safe for All Body Areas
- Can be used on the face, eyebrows, underarms, legs, bikini area, and even sensitive areas like the upper lip and nipples without risk of pigmentation changes.
No Risk of Hyperpigmentation or Burns
- Laser hair removal can cause burns or hyperpigmentation, especially on darker skin tones. Electrolysis doesn’t pose this risk.
No Need for Maintenance Treatments
- Once you complete the required sessions, no touch-ups are needed—unlike laser hair removal or waxing, which require regular maintenance.
Suitable for All Hair Growth Stages
- Electrolysis can target hairs in any growth phase, while laser hair removal is only effective on actively growing hairs.
No Long-Term Side Effects
- While temporary redness and swelling can occur, there are no long-term risks like scarring or skin discoloration when performed correctly.
who can benefit from electrolysis
Electrolysis is a great option for anyone looking for a permanent solution to unwanted hair. It is especially beneficial for:
People with Any Hair Color or Skin Tone
- Unlike laser hair removal, which struggles with blonde, gray, white, and red hairs, electrolysis works on all hair types and colors.
- It’s also safe for all skin tones, including darker skin, which may be at risk for pigmentation issues with lasers.
Individuals with Hormonal Hair Growth (PCOS, Hirsutism, etc.)
- People with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), hirsutism, or other hormonal imbalances often experience excess hair growth, especially on the face, chest, or abdomen.
- Electrolysis permanently removes these hairs and prevents regrowth.
Those Looking for a Permanent Solution
- If you're tired of shaving, waxing, plucking, or threading, electrolysis offers a one-time investment for lifelong results.
People with Sensitive Skin or Prone to Ingrown Hairs
- Unlike waxing or shaving, which can cause irritation, razor burns, and ingrown hairs, electrolysis destroys the follicle, preventing ingrown hairs altogether.
Individuals Seeking Eyebrow Shaping or Facial Hair Removal
- Electrolysis is precise enough for delicate areas like the eyebrows, upper lip, and chin—ideal for those who want a clean, permanent shape.
Transgender & Non-Binary Individuals Undergoing Hair Removal
- Electrolysis is commonly used for gender-affirming hair removal, including facial hair removal and pre-surgical hair removal for procedures like vaginoplasty.
