1. What is electrolysis?

Electrolysis is a safe and effective method of permanent hair removal. It involves the insertion of a fine needle into individual hair follicles, delivering a small electrical current that destroys the hair root. With consistent sessions, electrolysis can permanently inhibit future hair growth.

2. How does laser hair removal work?

Laser hair removal utilizes concentrated beams of light that target and heat hair follicles, disabling their ability to produce new hair. The procedure is designed to selectively target hair while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. Over multiple sessions, laser hair removal can provide long-lasting results.

3. Is electrolysis or laser hair removal more suitable for me?

The choice between electrolysis and laser hair removal depends on various factors such as hair color, skin type, and treatment area.
