Electrolysis hair removal was invented over 100 years ago in the United States. During electrolysis hair removal procedure, a needle is inserted into a hair follicle and an electrical pulse is sent through the needle. If the treated hair follicle is in the active growth stage at the time of treatment, it won’t grow again.
Three forms of electrolysis hair removal:
• Galvanic - An electro-chemical current produces a bit of lye.
• Thermolysis - A heat current is produced by and a radio wave.
• Blend - An electro-chemical reaction is produced more quickly by a combination of the above methods.
Some side effects of electrolysis hair removal include pain, redness, or swelling. In some cases scabs may result and cause infection or scarring. It is also possible for people with a darker skin pigmentation to get dark or light spots around the treated areas that may or may not be permanent.
