Absolutely. Electrolysis is the only method approved by the FDA and AMA for permanent removal of unwanted hair. As the hair is treated, regrowth is prevented rather than just removed temporarily. Only electrolysis provides both hair removal and hair elimination.
Electrolysis works on all skin and hair types for men and women. It can be applied to most facial and body parts, including eyebrows, hairline, chin, upper and lower lip, jaw line and sides of the face, neck, arms, underarms, breasts, abdomen, bikini line, feet, legs, back and chest.
Waxing, threading and tweezing are alike, they may cause an increase in hair growth activity. Depilatories (chemical hair removal lotions and creams) and shaving only remove hair at the skin level and can cause an irritation to the skin while the hair regrows quickly. These methods can require a lifetime of maintenance. Many can appear inexpensive, however cost more due to long term use and are found to be inconvenient.
Professionally performed electrolysis eliminates unwanted hair, permanently, with unsurpassed results.
Maybe it's just an unwelcome maintenance routine that takes a lot of time, but often, unwanted hair creates self-consciousness serious enough to impair relationships with other people. If unwanted hair gets in the way of your confidence, social life, work, sports, schedules or even self-expression, this is your opportunity to achieve the hair-free look you deserve.
Unwanted hair can be caused by hormonal changes brought on by pregnancy. Electrolysis can be performed on any normal skin. This includes pregnant women. We suggest that you seek the advice of your physician before beginning treatment.
Electrolysis can be performed on most moles where licensing regulations allow it. Your electrologist may require written approval from your physician.
The effectiveness of laser hair removal depends on factors such as hair color, skin tone, and treatment area. Dark objects absorb light and radiate heat so lasers target the dark hair roots under the surface of the skin. If hair is white, grey, red, blond or very light brown the laser light is not absorbed by the hair root. Laser is most effective on people with very light skin and very dark hair. Electrolysis is not dependent on the presence of melanin in the hair and absence of melanin in the skin so it works on all hair color and all skin tones.
A combination of laser hair removal and electrolysis works well for many people. Laser is a fast method for removing dark body hair from lighter skin toned people. Electrolysis is the recommended method of hair removal from the face and neck and is often used as a follow-up treatment to laser hair removal on the body. Electrolysis is the only method of permanent hair removal approved and recognized by the FDA and AMA.
