Electrolysis –
the only permanent hair removal treatment recognized by the FDA. An electrical current is administered by inserting a very thin sterile needle/probe into the hair follicle. The electrical current is delivered to the papilla and surrounding cells are destroyed after a series of treatments. The amount of hair, the specific area being treated, and the quantity and type of temporary methods of hair removal used prior to electrolysis all determine the length of time needed to achieve permanency. The methods of electrolysis used today are thermolysis, galvanic and the blend. Terri’s office employs all three modalities.
There is a certain technique involved when performing Electrolysis. The method of hair removal is a precise and methodical procedure. The type of electrical current being used is very important. When it is done properly, Electrolysis involves a certain amount of time depending on the area being treated. As the treatments continue, the area of hair grows in finer with less and less hairs. The results are very noticeable and is what makes the patient realize that the Electrolysis is working. It’s not a process that should take years before seeing any type of results.
