Electrolysis is a permanent hair removal method that uses a fine probe to deliver a small electrical current into each hair follicle, destroying its ability to regrow hair. It is the only hair removal method the FDA recognizes as permanent.

Most clients describe a brief stinging or warm sensation at each insertion. Sensitivity varies by area and by the client's pain tolerance, and many electrologists use topical numbing options to improve comfort.

Because hair grows in cycles, electrolysis requires multiple sessions over several months to catch every hair in its active growth phase. The exact number depends on the area treated and the client's hair and skin.
