Electrolysis for Hair Removal
Electrolysis is a method of removing individual hairs from the face or body. Today's medical electrolysis devices destroy the growth center of the hair with chemical or heat energy. After a very fine wire is inserted into the hair follicle, the hair is removed with tweezers.
Most areas of the body can be treated with electrolysis, including the eyebrows, face, abdomen, thighs, breasts, and legs. There are generally no permanent side effects, but sometimes a temporary, slight reddening of the skin may occur.
Which Parts of the Body Can Electrolysis Treat?
Your dermatologist can use electrolysis on most body areas, including your:

Cheeks, lips, chin, and eyebrows
