Electrolysis is a permanent hair removal method approved by FDA (Food and Drug Administration).

The practitioner slides a thin probe into the hair follicle. The right operation would not hurt your skin. Then the electric current is transferred into the follicle through the thin probe so the area where hair generates is damaged.

The hair is removed from your face and body one by one,so it is a time consuming and professional job.

There are three methods of electrolysis: galvanic, thermolysis, blend (Galvanic and thermolysis).
