Electrolysis Hair Removal Techniques

Electrolysis is the only form of permanent hair removal recognized by the American Medical Association. There are three electrolysis techniques that can be used to eliminate unwanted hair, and all three are effective.

THERMOLYSIS hair method removal is a high frequency current or radio wave. When it comes in contact with normal body fluids in the hair follicle, it generates a low level heat which cauterizes and destroys the dermal papilla.

GALVANIC hair removal method is a direct current that converts normal body salt and fluids in the hair follicle into a chemical capable of destroying the dermal papilla.

BLEND is a combination of both currents together on the same probe. Thermolysis at a very low level enhances the working action of the galvanic current to produce a highly effective treatment.
