Although laser hair removal may be advertised as offering a permanent reduction in unwanted hair, there is only one process that is allowed to offer permanent removal: hair electrolysis. This has been proven over many years and with every skin and hair coloring unlike laser treatment which works best where there is a sharp contrast between fair skin and dark hair.
So, how does electrolysis work to get rid of hair for good?
Unfortunately, electrolysis is not an easy or fast process (unlike laser hair removal where a lot of hairs can be treated in one session). During electrolysis treatment, a probe is inserted into the skin alongside a hair and an electric current is passed along the probe to target the root of the hair. If the current hits its target and is strong enough, the hair follicle will be killed and will not grow back, but only if it is treated when the hair is in an active growth stage.
This means that a high percentage of hairs are not killed during each treatment and you will need many sessions over several months to tackle each hair at the right stage of growth especially as you cannot tell whether a hair is actively growing or not when you treat it.
Because hairs are treated individually, electrolysis can seem to take forever, however an average session will be only around 15 minutes to treat the hairs in a a typical “mustache” area and that is generally enough to tackle most of the hair.
Gradually over the months of treatment, fewer and fewer hairs grow back and you are able to catch the ones that are left during their growing phase until you are completely hair free. As the destruction of the hairs is permanent you will not need further treatment. Towards the end of your series of treatments, sessions can be shorter and you may need only five minutes to treat the hairs which remain.
