Hair Electrolysis Frequently Asked Questions

How long will an electrolysis treatment take?

Hair removal by electrolysis is accomplished by using a tool called an ‘Epilator'. The Epilator treats each individual hair by inserting a tiny surgical probe into the hair follicle and directing an impulse of energy down to the root of the hair. The energy impulse causes localized damage to the area surrounding the hair. If inserted correctly the probe will not puncture the skin, it will slide directly into the follicle. This is a very slow and exact process, but the time and care taken ensures permanent results.

Electrolysis cannot be completed in one treatment, it is a weakening process. Each treatment causes the hairs directly treated, to die, but the energy impulse stimulates new hair growth directly around the area previously damaged. The new hair grows finer and thinner, so it is less noticeable. Each additional treatment will treat these new hairs until hair growth stops completely. Depending on the area being treated, electrolysis can take up to four years to successfully complete. While this time span is longer than any other hair removal treatment, the results are permanent. With a series of regular treatments, unwanted hair will become a permanent reality.
