Electrolysis is the only form of permanent hair removal recognized by the American Medical Association. Treatment involves inserting a sterile probe, roughly the same size as a hair, into the hair follicle. With the probe in place, a low level electrical current destroys the Dermal papilla, which is the part of the follicle that feeds growing hair. Many hairs can be eliminated with one treatment, but some will need two or more treatments to achieve permanancy. The number of treatments depends on the amount of hair, its coarseness and the cause of the excess hair.
Galvanic Electrolysis
A chemical method that uses a direct current to convert body salt and water in the follicle into a compound capable of destroying the papilla. The chemical does not affect any other area.
Thermolysis
A method that uses a high frequency current to produce heat in the area. This heat cauterizes and destroys the papilla.
The Blend
This method combines both currents together in the same proble. Thermolysis enhances the action of the galvanic method to produce a faster process.
We will select the best method for you based on your hair type, skin characteristics and sensitivity, ensuring you of the greatest maximum comfort and permanancy for your situation.

- Heredity
- Stress
- Horomonal changes related to puberty, pregnancy, or menopause.
