Guide To Popular Hair Removal Techniques

Electrolysis

Electrolysis is a professional method of hair removal that must be performed by a trained provider. The provider places a small needle into the hair follicle. The hair is destroyed at the root using an electric current. Each hair must be treated individually. Thus, this method can be quite time-consuming. It is generally recommended for smaller areas, including the upper lip and the chin. Individuals who want electrolysis will typically need to have sessions every week or two until the hair is gone. This treatment method may be beneficial for patients with white or blonde hair who have not seen results with laser treatment. Potential side effects of electrolysis include swelling, redness, and scarring. Patients should ask their provider about all of the benefits and risks before they decide to start treatment.
