Before beginning electrolysis treatments a perspective client will come in for a consultation. This will involve an explanation of how electrolysis works and questions will be answered. Also we will take a look at the area and remove a few hairs so the client can see what it feels like. This way the client learns how the process works, and how to go about doing it correctly.

This is a picture of a hair follicle. Shown is the root of the hair and the tiny capillaries that feed the root which allows it to grow.

In electrolysis a tiny sterile probe is inserted into the hair follicle. A current comes out the tip of the probe which ultimately cuts off nourishment to the hair by cauterizing those capillaries at the hair root, thus preventing a hair from growing.

It takes a series of treatments to achieve permanency. A hair can be treated in a follicle and not necessarily be destroyed the first time. But it is weakened so that if it re-grows it will be finer and lighter and come in more slowly, if at all. And what happens is a gradual thinning out process. As the hairs come in less and less, so the client's need for treatments becomes less and less, until the hairs don't come back at all and permanency is achieved.

* Hairs on mucus membranes are never done.
