What is

Electrolysis?

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

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 is a scientifically proven method for permanent hair removal. It targets 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.

  • 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.

  • The number of electrolysis sessions required to achieve permanent hair removal varies depending on several factors, including the individual's hair growth cycle, the size of the treatment area, hair density, and skin type. While electrolysis is a highly effective method for permanent hair removal, it typically requires multiple sessions to achieve optimal results.

  • Experienced Electrologists: Electrolysis hair removal should be administered under the supervision of an expert only. Our team of experienced electrologists in NYC has undergone rigorous training and certification in electrolysis techniques, ensuring safe and effective treatments with natural-looking results.

  • After Electrolysis, your pores in the area treated will be open and more susceptible to bacteria. To avoid or minimize breakouts, use a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser on the area treated, pat dry, and apply a thin layer of Bacitracin or Neosporin.

    We recommend Action De Gala - Hydaplus and YI-Zhibaume.

    • After you have begun your Electrolysis treatment, do not pluck, tweeze, or wax the area being treated. These temporary hair removal methods will undo the work that has been done and may stimulate more hair growth.

    • Cutting or shaving the hair is the only acceptable method to trim the hair in between appointments.

    • The best way to achieve permanent hair removal is by coming frequently for electrolysis treatments.

    • The further apart the sessions, the less effective and more time it will take to remove the unwanted hair permanently.

  • Most people describe it as a slight warming sensation that is very tolerable. Different parts of the body have different numbers of nerve endings, so some areas might be a bit more sensitive than others.

    Electrolysis has been around for well over 100 years. Limoges Beauty uses the latest technology and special techniques to minimize the sensation.

  • Electrolysis requires the same hair to be treated several times before it is permanently gone. It takes an average of 18 months of electrolysis treatments for hair to die permanently.

  • When receiving electrolysis treatments, it is important to exfoliate the area between treatments. Exfoliating the area once or twice a week will allow the new, weaker hair to penetrate the skin more easily. This simple process can help prevent ingrown hairs.

    • Keeping your skin and hair hydrated and moisturized makes the electrolysis treatments more comfortable.

    • The hair is able to slide out of the follicle with ease. Drink plenty of water and moisturize the area being treated frequently between sessions.
