Permanent Face Hair Remover for Women

Electrolysis is the only permanent facial hair removal method approved by the FDA. It works by using chemical or heat energy to eradicate individual strands of unwanted hair at the roots.

History

Electrolysis was originally developed as a way to remove ingrown eyelashes.

Function

During electrolysis, a thin needle is used to deliver low-level electrical currents to individual hair follicles, effectively destroying them.

Considerations

Because electrolysis targets just one hair follicle at a time, the process is time-consuming and often requires multiple sessions before hair removal is complete.

Tip

Treated areas may be red or tender immediately following the procedure, though these effects are temporary. Applying antibacterial ointment after electrolysis may accelerate the healing process.

Warning

Electrolysis is safe for most people. However, in some cases it can cause scarring or changes in skin color.
