What is Electrolysis?

Electrolysis is the technique and science of permanent hair removal. A small amount of electricity or a solution of sodium hydroxide is introduced to the base of the hair follicle (hair papilla) in order to destroy the root of the hair.

Unwanted hair is a trouble we all face. While various hair removal options are available, from waxing to laser treatments, one method that stands out for its effectiveness and permanence is electrolysis. Electrolysis is a popular choice for people seeking long-term solutions in NYC.

There are 3 methods of electrolysis for permanent hair removal:

  • Thermolysis applies alternating current to the probe at the base of the hair in order to create heat and destroy the hair follicle. This is the most commonly used method because it is very fast and effective.

  • Blend uses a combination of heat and current to speed up the galvanic chemical reaction to destroy the hair follicle. This method is slightly slower than thermolysis but is very effective and often used to treat difficult areas.

  • Galvanic electrolysis was the first form of electrolysis and is not often performed today. It uses direct current to cause a chemical reaction within the body to destroy the hair follicle. Galvanic has fallen out of favor because it takes a significantly longer time to work.

Electrolysis FAQs

  • Electrolysis is a scientifically proven method in NYC for permanent hair removal. It works by targeting individual hair follicles with a small probe that delivers a precise electrical current. This current destroys the hair follicle's growth center, preventing future hair growth in the treated area. Unlike temporary hair removal methods such as waxing or shaving, electrolysis offers permanent results, making it an ideal choice for individuals seeking long-lasting hair removal solutions.

  • Permanent Results: Electrolysis treatment in New York is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal. Each session effectively helps to destroy hair follicles, resulting in smooth, hair-free skin that lasts a lifetime.

    Versatility: Electrolysis can be used to remove hair from various areas of the body, including the face, arms, legs, bikini area, and more. Whether dealing with unwanted facial hair, stubborn underarm hair, or coarse leg hair, electrolysis can precisely target and eliminate hair follicles.

    Precision: Electrolysis in NYC targets individual hair follicles with pinpoint accuracy, making it suitable for all hair colors, textures, and skin types. Electrolysis can permanently remove unwanted hair from any part of the body.

    Safe and Effective: Electrolysis as a treatment for permanent hair removal is one of the safest and most effective hair removal methods. When performed by a skilled electrologist using proper techniques and equipment, electrolysis poses minimal risk of side effects or complications.

    No Downtime: Unlike surgical hair removal procedures, electrolysis hair removal treatment requires no downtime, allowing you to resume your normal activities immediately after treatment.

  • Some people experience slight discomfort like a warming or snap sensation. Generally most people tolerate electrolysis without numbing cream, but it is available to purchase OTC or with us.

  • Galvanic Electrolysis in NYC—Galvanic electrolysis works by using a direct current to create a chemical reaction within the hair follicle, effectively destroying the follicle's ability to produce hair.

    This method utilizes a chemical reaction between the saline solution in the hair follicle and the electrical current, creating lye that destroys the hair follicle. Galvanic electrolysis NYC is effective for coarse and deep-rooted hair, making it suitable for all skin types and hair colors.

    Thermolysis: Also known as high-frequency or short-wave electrolysis, thermolysis uses heat to destroy the hair follicle. This method is ideal for finer, lighter hairs and offers faster treatment times than galvanic electrolysis.

    Blend Method: Combining the benefits of both galvanic and thermolysis, the blend method offers versatility and efficiency in targeting a wide range of hair types and textures.
