Electrolysis: Permanent Hair Removal For Men and Women

Electrolysis is a hair removal option that is generally considered to offer permanent hair removal. It was invented over 130 years ago so it's by far the oldest option available and therefore has a long track record.

Electrolysis was originally used to treat ingrown eyelashes but developed into a wider use hair removal procedure for many other body parts.

A person who is trained to perform the procedure is referred to as an Electrologist.

Electrolysis uses a sterilized needle which is inserted into each hair follicle. A small electrical current is then delivered to the base of the follicle to destroy the hair growth cells.

When done properly, the end result is that the hair is unable to regrow resulting in the permanent removal of the unwanted hair without damage to the skin.

Given that each hair needs to be treated individually, you can probably imagine that this is one of the biggest considerations when looking at Electrolysis as your hair removal option.

Compared to newer non-permanent hair removal choices that can cover larger areas of hair quicker, Electrolysis can be a more time-consuming process for areas that have large amounts of unwanted hair.

In other words, the tradeoff is between permanent hair removal with Electrolysis or possibly faster treatment times with other non-permanent hair removal options that at best might offer permanent hair reduction or long term hair reduction.

As with other hair removal options, success and possible side effects of the hair removal will vary by patient.

Temporary and permanent hair removal technology is evolving constantly and is relevant to both men and women who want to remove unwanted hair.

Depilation is a generic term for hair removal which affects the part of the hair above the surface of the skin. The most common form of depilation is shaving. Another popular option is the use of chemical depilatories, which work by breaking the disulfide bonds that link the protein chains that give hair its strength, making the hair disintegrate.
