ELECTROLYSIS
Stop the regrowth
PERMANENT HAIR REMOVAL
Electrolysis can treat every hair color, including blonde, white, and grey—no more endless waxing, threading, or tweezing treatments. Hair becomes finer and weaker after only a few sessions.
Electrolysis Hair Removal
A tiny sterile single-use epilation probe is inserted into the hair follicle. Low-level electrical current passes through the probe, destroying the hair follicle and inhibiting unwanted hair growth. Laser technology is excellent for treating large areas of numerous, dense dark hair, whereas electrolysis treats all types of hair, including light blonde, grey, and coarse white hair.
For permanent laser hair removal surrey, several treatments are required based on needs and the area treated. Hormones do play a big role because the chin is a hormonal area; it is important not to tweeze hair found on the chin, jawline, or upper lip. This mild injury triggers a repair response as the blood rushes to heal the area. This stimulates and encourages the hairs to grow back thicker and stronger. Hormonal changes do not bring on eyebrow hairs, so they are safe to shape and tweeze without causing any excess or thicker growth.
Electrolysis feels like a mild zapping or pinching sensation. After treatment, the skin may temporarily be pink, swollen, and tender. Small cold gel packs are used to alleviate any discomfort and reduce inflammation. Soothing cream containing aloe, shea butter and tea tree oil is applied to help calm the skin.
After each treatment, the hair will become thinner and finer until the best permanent hair removal is achieved. Most individuals see results within the first few sessions when returning for biweekly or monthly appointments.
