New Jersey Elecrtolysis Hair Removal Options

Electrolysis hair removal is the permanent way of ridding yourself of unwanted hair.  The process of electrolysis was actually invented over one hundred years ago as a remedy of removing ingrown, irritating eyelash hair.  As time evolved, so did electrolysis.  Today it is used as a permanent method of removing hair from almost any part of the body, including thighs, legs, bikini, eyebrows, upper lips, and other facial hair. 

The process of electrolysis hair removal works by the electrologist inserting a needle directly into the hair follicle.  Once inserted, electric radio wave energy will strike the follicle, causing the hair to be destroyed without possibility that it will grow back. 

Electrolysis can be a painful procedure; some say they experience pain and redness during and immediately following the treatments.  The amount of discomfort experienced will depend on the location of the hair being removed, the coarseness of the hair, the sensitivity of the area where the hair is being removed, and the patient’s tolerance for pain.  A topical anesthetic can be used if necessary to assist with improving comfort levels. 

There are three different kinds of electrolysis hair removal.  The first is called Galvanic, which is a electro-chemical current.  The second type is called Thermolysis, which is a heat current.  The last kind of electrolysis is a blend of both the Galvanic and Thermolysis methods. 

The greatest advantage to electrolysis is that if done correctly, it has the best history and profile in getting rid of unwanted hair permanently.  The downfalls include the fact that it can be quite expensive, very tedious and time-consuming, and somewhat uncomfortable.
