Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal. It works by targeting the hair follicle at its root, the dermal papilla.

The dermal papilla is a small structure located at the base of the hair follicle. It contains blood vessels that supply essential nutrients and oxygen to the follicle, stimulating new hair growth. The dermal papilla is also involved in regulation of the hair growth cycle through signaling molecules that influence when hair grows, rests and sheds.

During electrolysis, a fine probe is inserted into the follicle and a small amount of electrical current is applied to deactivate the dermal papilla. This ensures that the hair follicle can no longer produce hair, leading to permanent hair removal. This process is safe, precise and effective for all hair types and skin tones.
