There are different methods to remove hair and so to decide which to use, it is best to learn how these work, the results that can be expected, the costs involved, and potential, if any, side effects.
Electrolysis is another method for hair removal. Of the two general types of hair removal methods, depilation and epilation, electrolysis is an epilator, which indicates that it removes hair below the skin.
It is the only method that can properly be classified as permanent.
How Does Electrolysis Work?
Through heat generation individual hairs are destroyed. A probe is inserted under the skin, and heat (electrically generated) is transferred to the hair follicle, which in turn is destroyed. Sounds simple?
The time involved depends on the amount of hair that needs to be removed. Remember each individual hair is targeted and not a general area. Therefore various sessions need to be planned, about once a week is fine.
At the end of the treatment, the hair would have been permanently removed.
