Electrolysis is a way of removing individual hairs from the face or body. Today's medical electrolysis devices, called epilators, destroy the growth center of the hair with a short-wave radio frequency. A very fine probe is inserted into the hair follicle at the surface of the skin. The hair is then removed harmlessly with forceps.

Although laser hair removal can be said to offer “permanent hair reduction,” electrolysis has been proven to permanently remove hair, follicle by follicle. Electrolysis treatments are a form of electrical epilation where a needle is inserted into the hair follicle and literally applies a zap of electrical current to the area. Electrolysis offers permanent results for people who are otherwise not a candidate for laser hair removal (i.e. people with extremely dark skin, or someone who has red, blonde or gray hair)..

How dose Electrolysis work? ^ top
A licenced electrologist inserts a fine metal probe into the hair follicle alongside your hair. Then the electrologist steps on a pedal that sends a mild electrical current (heat) to the base of the follicle to destroy the root of the hair. This takes a second. After hair is treated it is released by the heat and the electrologist removes the hair with her forceps and moves on to another hair.
