# What is Electrology?

 

Electrology is the science of permanent hair removal. The electrologist inserts a microscopic, sterile, disposable probe into the hair follicle.  Using state-of-the-art technology, a minute amount of electricity is gently applied to the base of the hair papilla or root.This process destroys the hair growth tissue and the regenerative ability of the hair follicle is permanently eliminated – FOREVER!


 

# How does electrolysis compare to other hair removal methods?

 

Electrolysis is the ONLY method approved by the FDA for permanent hair removal. Temporary methods such as lasering, waxing, tweezing, shaving and depilatories require time-consuming maintenance for the rest of the user’s life. Many people end up with skin irritations, ingrown hairs, skin discoloration and scarring. These methods have also been proven to increase the amount of hair growth in  some people.

 

# Isn’t laser hair removal faster and more effective than electrolysis?

 

No! Laser hair removal has not been approved for permanent hair removal—it has only received approval for hair REDUCTION. The average percentage of hair reduction for most people is between 10-15%. Don’t assume you are receiving permanent hair removal from medical spas or salons that use the words “PERMANENT HAIR REDUCTION” in their advertisements. The use of these words capitalizes on the reputable name of ELECTROLYSIS in an attempt to create the perception of permanence.

 

 

 

How many treatments are required?
 
The number of treatments varies with each individual. factors such as hair growth cycles, previous used temporary methods, heredity, medications, hormonal fluctuations and the amount and structure of the hairs influence the number of treatments needed for each person. 

Dark Skin Electrolysis
