- What You Need To Know About Electrolysis
Managing unwanted body hair can be a frustrating, time consuming, and painful hassle. Shaving can really irritate your skin and waxing or plucking can be an excruciating process to go through. Worst of all, you have to repeat the whole process over and over again.
At The Spiegel Center in Newton, we have the solution to your hair maintenance frustrations. We offer permanent hair removal using electrolysis. If you are looking for a way to make managing your unwanted hair a problem of the past, here is everything you need to know about electrolysis.
What Is Electrolysis and How Does it Work?
Electrolysis is the only permanent hair removal treatment approved by the FDA. This is different than Lasers which is indicated for hair reduction. During electrolysis, a very small probe is used that emits an electrical current. The probe is inserted into the hair follicle where the heat generated by the electrical current destroys the follicle which permanently prevents hair from growing in the follicle.
Is Electrolysis Painful?
The thought of having a probe that emits electrical currents inserted into your follicles may sound scary and painful, but the actual treatment is not very painful. Yes, some discomfort is to be expected, especially around more sensitive areas. However, electrolysis is a permanent solution, so once hair is gone you don’t have to worry about going through another painful waxing. The Spiegel Center also offers anesthesia for electrolysis to make the process as comfortable as possible.
