When electrolysis was
invented in 1875, it became the first major
success in permanent hair removal. Even
though it has been around for 150 years,
electrolysis is still the only method
currently available that will permanently
treat white, grey and red hair. There is no
laser on the market that can permanently
remove these hairs, so they must be removed
by electrolysis.
Electrolysis works by sliding a needle
beside the hair into the sheath of the hair
follicle. The type of electrolysis that is
used at LHR Skin and Vein Center is
thermolysis. Thermolysis works by passing a
high frequency current down the needle. This
current produces heat; which cauterizes and
destroys the papilla at the base of the
follicle. Once a hair is treated, it is then
removed. |
