| How does Electrolysis work? |
| Electrolysis destroys the follicles capability to reproduce a hair after a series of hair removal treatments. A small amount of current is applied directly into the follicle during the hair removal process. There is no puncturing of the skin as some people may think. You will feel a sensation, but most people find this to be tolerable. There are topical anesthetics to help people who are more sensitive during the hair removal treatment. |
