Electrolysis is the gold standard for permanent hair removal. Electrolysis was first developed in 1875 by Dr. Charles Michel of St. Louis, Missouri to remove an ingrown eyelash. Because electrolysis is a permanent procedure, you will save hours and expense spent over a lifetime using temporary methods such as: waxing, shaving, bleaching, threading, depilatories, and believe it or not laser hair removal.

Electrolysis has been proven to be permanent in over a century of use. Its permanency has been well recognized by knowledgeable physicians and is also testified to by hundreds of scientific articles published in the medical journals. In addition to scientific recognition, there are over a million happy and satisfied men and women who have solved a very personal and embarrassing problem with the help of electrolysis.

A fine sterile filament as thin as a hair is inserted into the hair follicle alongside the hair and a controlled amount of electric current is applied disabling the hair follicle and potential hair growth. The hair is than gently lifted out of the follicle. Depending on the technique used, the electric current destroys the root either by heat or chemical action or in some methods by both at the same time.

A professional technician slides a very fine, sterile probe alongside the hair in the hair follicle. A small amount of heat is then applied through this probe, which destroys the hair root, papilla, and hair germinating cells, without harming the skin.

Many unethical claims are being made that Laser has been approved as permanent by the FDA. Laser has not been approved for permanance! Don't take our word for it, here is a link to the FDA page spelling out the facts. According to the FDA, Laser is not not permitted to advertise as permanent or painless (Laser is extremely painful). What attracts people to laser is it's supposed speed. Laser, however often requires 5-8 treatments spaced 4-5 weeks apart from each other.

Electrolysis is considered a very cost-effective method of hair removal. The Overall cost is tied to each individual's recommended

The number of treatments required varies with each client. Those clients that adhere to the recommended treatment schedule usually accomplish their goal between 12 to 18 months. Some improvement should be observed within several months after beginning treatment, provided the patient adheres to the recommended treatment schedule.

Whether there is any discomfort during electrolysis is highly individual depending on the client’s tolerance. During the treatment a definite sensation should be noticed. It has been described as a “slight heat”, “tingling”, or a “stinging” sensation. There are a wide variety of topical anesthetics that can be used to minimize any discomfort. Some clients find that applying a topical anesthetic prior to treatment is very effective.

Immediately following treatment, there may be a slight redness and/or swelling which usually disappears within a few hours. Occasionally, small whiteheads or tiny scabs may occur. It is important to remember that scabs are a part of the normal healing process in some people. If scabbing occurs, the client is advised not to pick them off.

Some materials have a feature known as ferromagnetism. The prefix "ferro" refers to Iron, which is one such material. Ferromagnetic materials have the ability to "remember" the magnetic fields they have been subjected to. atom consists of a number of negatively charged electrons, orbiting around a positively charged nucleus. These electrons also possess a quantity known as spin, which is roughly analogous to a spinning top.
