About Electrolysis

• Procedure. A fine probe is inserted into the follicle (a natural pathway into the skin). Permanent hair removal is accomplished by destroying the lower 2/3 of the follicle and the surrounding hair germinating cells.
  
  
• Methods for Permanent Hair Removal. Galvanic (a chemical process); Thermolysis (a heat process); Blend (combination of Galvanic & Thermolysis).
  
  
• 3 Stages of Hair Growth. Anagen (actively growing stage; the follicle achieves its deepest length). Catagen (changing stage; transitory phase between growth and rest). Telogen (resting state; follicle remains in a stage of inactivity until it is stimulated to begin a new cycle).
