What is electrolysis?

Electrolysis is a procedure that a very fine needle is inserted into the natural opening of the hair follicle along side the hair shaft. A minute amount of current is then gently applied to destroy the hair follicle. This process destroys the hair growth tissue. Therefore, the regenerative ability of the hair follicle is permanently eliminated.

How effective is electrolysis?

Electrolysis is effective on all skin and hair types. It is important to follow the recommended treatment plan to achieve optimum results. No other hair removal solution can claim such universal acceptability and success.

How long the procedure last each visit?

Treatment sessions can range from 15 minutes to more than an hour depending on the area being treated and number of unwanted hairs.

How many treatments are required?

The number of treatments necessary varies with each client. Factors such as hair growth cycles, the quantity and structure of hair presented, previous use of temporary hair removal methods, heredity, hormone function, certain medication and stress influence the treatment program for each individual.

During your initial consult with Dr. Shafa she will let you know how many treatments are expected based on your underlying reason for hair growth, type of skin , site of hair growth and type of hair.
