Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method of permanent hair removal.
Electrolysis permanently removes unwanted hair by sending a small electrical current through a very fine probe placed in the natural opening of the hair follicle. Depending on the method used, the current creates heat, a chemical reaction, or both.
Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method of permanent hair removal. Unlike laser treatment, electrolysis can be used on all skin tones and hair colors. A series of appointments is needed because individual hairs grow at different times. Once a follicle is successfully treated, it can no longer produce hair.
