Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal. It works by inserting a fine probe into the hair follicle. A small amount of direct current, heat or the combination of both is then applied to the probe, which destroys the hair follicle and prevents future hair growth. The process is repeated for each individual hair follicle.
At JHA Skincare & Aesthetics, our electrologist uses modern, high-frequency equipment to ensure safe, comfortable, and permanent results.
Discomfort is minimal and often described as a quick heat or pinch. At JHA Skincare & Aesthetics, we use Apilus Senior 3G technology, one of the most advanced machines available, to ensure faster, more comfortable treatments. Numbing options are also available for sensitive areas.
The number of electrolysis sessions needed varies depending on factors such as the area being treated, hair thickness, and individual response to the treatment. Multiple sessions are typically required to achieve permanent hair removal. Our electrologist will createe a customized treatment plan based on your unique growth cycles and adjusts it as your hair thins over time. Each session builds toward full follicle clearance.
