Electrolysis
Electrolysis permanently destroys hair follicle growth cells using fine needles and electrical currents. This FDA-approved method works on all skin tones and hair types, providing lasting results after multiple sessions. Treatments target individual hairs, making it ideal for facial and body hair removal.
Galvanic Treatments
Galvanic electrolysis uses direct current to create chemical reactions that destroy hair follicles. This modality works well for coarse hair and requires precise application by certified practitioners. Sessions typically last 30-60 minutes depending on treatment area size.
Thermolysis
Thermolysis employs high-frequency alternating current to generate heat that eliminates hair follicle cells. This faster treatment option suits various hair types and can cover larger areas in single sessions. Practitioners adjust intensity based on client sensitivity.
Blend Method
The blend method combines galvanic and thermolysis currents for enhanced follicle destruction. This approach improves efficiency while maintaining precision, particularly effective for challenging hair types. Sessions include personalized aftercare guidance to optimize results.
Permanent Hair Removal
Permanent hair removal through electrolysis addresses unwanted hair on faces and bodies. Treatment plans consider hair growth cycles, requiring multiple sessions spaced weeks apart. Most clients achieve complete clearance within 12-18 months of regular appointments.
