Electrolysis hair removal method is the only clinically accepted permanent hair removal method in the world. Hair removal through electro logy has been in existence for more than a century but it is only during the early sixties that it gained popularity. Betterment in technology and increasing acceptance amongst the public about the systems of hair removal increased the popularity of the electrolysis hair removal procedure. Modern day electrolysis hair removal procedures are far more effective and a lot quicker than the earlier day technologies. In spite of other technologies that claim to be alternatives to this method for permanent hair removal, the electrolysis hair removal method still remains the only officially accepted and most effective permanent removal method.

In this method, a regulated and tiny pulse of electrical current is applied directly to the root of each hair. Specially designed needles are used for the transmission of electricity and the needle is manually inserted to the hair root by a professionally trained specialist. Every hair root has to be covered manually by the specialist and the needle has to be inserted to send the electric pulse to the root. The pulse generates heat and destroys the hair root permanently and it loses the ability to re-grow again. The electrolysis hair removal process is a tedious but effective process and can take many sessions, spanning over many weeks for the entire body to be covered. After this, the entire process needs to be repeated again to ensure all the hairs that were missed get covered in the next attempt. Not all hair s grow at the same time; it is possible for some cells to be dormant. So, it might also be necessary, to come back for follow up sessions after a few months. But, once this entire cycle is completed, people can be free from unwanted body hair for the rest of their lives.

Electrolysis hair removal procedure can cause some pain during the course of the sessions. Since electricity is passed through the skin and hair gets burnt, people experience tiny electrical shocks that are similar to pinpricks, along with the accompaniment of burnt smell. These are side effects that have to be endured for the greater good of permanent hair removal. After the completion of the session, the area covered can develop redness and soreness, which will subside in a couple of days.
