How electrolysis works
The process of removing hair by electrolysis is actually quite simple in nature. In actuality, it is no different today than it was in 1875 in Saint Louis when it was documented and tested by Dr. Charles Michael. The electrolysis process entails a thin metal probe being inserted into a hair follicle. When done correctly, this process doesn't even puncture the skin. Once accomplished, electricity is delivered through the probe to the hair follicle, which as a result causes permanent damage to that particular area.
There are three basic types of electrolysis hair removal:
Electrolysis may be painful for some individuals depending on the coarseness of the hair being removed, the sensitivity of the area itself, and an individual's tolerance for discomfort. Since the process takes quite a bit of time, it may be difficult for some people to endure the discomfort associated with electrolysis.
Electrolysis is definitely a tried and true option for those opting for permanent hair removal. Although sometimes costly, painful and time consuming, it may be the best option for people with certain hair or skin types, or for those with only a small amount of hair to be removed.
