Electrolysis

Prior removal methods will have an effect on your current electrolysis treatment. Tweezing, waxing, threading, or sugaring will have allowed your hair root to strengthen by growing courser and deeper. These methods increase your risk of skin discoloration and ingrown hairs. They also have the potential to increase growth activity, creating a larger problem than the one you started with.

Maintenance methods, such as shaving and depilatories are only temporary and allow hair to grow back quickly. These methods can be very irritating to the skin.

Electrolysis works by destroying the root of the hair using an electrode, or probe, that is inserted into each hair follicle individually. A small amount of electricity is applied to the papilla at the bottom of the hair follicle. This process permanently eliminates the regenerative capability of the hair follicle, thus preventing regrowth. No other method can claim such widespread success.
