What is Electrolysis?
Electrolysis hair removal is a process that uses a small electrical current to destroy the hair follicle, preventing the hair from growing back. So, instead of constantly trying to pluck or shave unwanted hairs, you can use electrolysis to get rid of them for good!
Electrolysis uses thermolysis, also known as shortwave method, or high frequency method, to destroy the hair follicle by heat or electrocoagulation. With thermolysis treatment, high frequency radio energy is emitted (mostly) from the tip of the electrolysis needle, first inserted into the hair follicle. The high frequency energy agitates the molecules making up the hair growing cells. This agitation causes the cells to heat, ideally to the point of permanent tissue destruction. This destruction is referred to as electrocoagulation.
How is electrolysis different from laser hair removal?
Electrolysis uses a tiny probe inserted into the hair follicle to destroy the hair root with an electric current, making it suitable for all hair colors and skin types. Laser hair removal targets hair follicles with concentrated light energy, suitable for larger areas and faster treatment but works best on darker hair and lighter skin.
How do I know if it’s right for me?
Electrolysis is suitable for anyone looking for permanent hair removal, regardless of hair color or skin type. It's particularly beneficial for individuals with light or fine hair that may not respond well to laser hair removal.
How many sessions do I need?
The number of electrolysis sessions varies depending on factors like hair density, hair thickness, and the size of the area being treated. Generally, multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart are needed to achieve permanent hair removal.
What can I expect during the treatment?
During electrolysis, a fine probe is inserted into each hair follicle, where a tiny amount of electric current is applied to destroy the hair root. You may feel a slight tingling or heat sensation during the process. The length of each session depends on the size of the area being treated and your tolerance level.
Love from our loyal Patients
First impression walking in the door was a clean, modern and professional atmosphere. Front desk was welcoming and quick to get me in. The esthetician was friendly and explained what she would do during the Hydrafacial treatment. The warm bed was a bonus and very relaxing. The procedure was relaxing and left my skin glowing. The products used were refreshing and did not irritate my sensitive skin. I am writing the review a week later and my skin is glowing! Definitely will return. Also a great selection of Zo medical grade products.
The staff are so lovely, they really take the time to help you find that perfect product. They understand the science behind the products they sell, and tailor their knowledge to focus on your individual needs. I have received compliments from strangers about my skin ever since I started using their products. You walk into the spa and it's a fun loving environment, I would definitely recommend visiting them!
This place is the best laser therapy spot I've been to! I always feel so welcomed by all the staff and have never had any problems since coming here for my laser sessions. Simona is a talented laser tech! Thank you, Simona!
I had a very good experience, I have been coming here for a couple of months and the results are just WOW. They make sure you’re comfortable and go through the procedure with you to make sure you are comfortable.
If you are a person of colour like myself, I strongly advise requesting Simona's services. She excels in facial treatments, particularly when it comes to acne extraction, and you'll certainly find her services to be worth every penny. I wholeheartedly endorse her.
My experience at Spotless laser was amazing!! The staff is friendly and extremely professional, very accommodating with my monthly appointments. I am extremely happy with my results and would definitely recommend them to my friends and family.
