Electrolysis is the only method FDA approved for permanent hair removal.
It's recommended for any skin tone & hair color, including blond, red, grey, and white hair.
While sometimes confused with laser hair removal, electrolysis works differently.
This procedure involves the use of a fine wire filament (probe) inserted into each hair follicle, delivering a small amount of electric current.
This aims to destroy the stem cells responsible for hair growth, located in the bulge & dermal papilla.
There are three main methods of electrolysis: Galvanic, Thermolysis, and The Blend Method.
Galvanic uses direct current (like a battery) to induce an electro-chemical reaction between the sodium & water
in surrounding tissue, which produces sodium hydroxide (also known as lye) to destroy the stem cells.
Galvanic is known to generally be the slowest of these modalities, requiring roughly 4 to 30 seconds per follicle.
Thermolysis uses alternating current (like a radio, wifi, microwave) which heats up the water molecules in surrounding tissue,
reaching temperatures great enough to destroy the stem cells by thermo-coagulation. Thermolysis typically is much quicker than Galvanic or Blend.
There are different techniques for thermolysis, such as "flash" or "slow" thermolysis. Flash is typically less than 1 second per follicle.
The Blend Method uses a combination of Galvanic & Thermolysis, and the mechanisms of each current have additive effects together.
For instance, the coagulation (from Thermolysis) makes it easier for the lye *from Galvanic) to penetrate the tissue & reach the targeted stem cells.
The Blend Method is kind of the "best of both worlds", when referring to its speed.
The duration for each follicle varies, but typically lasts for 3 up to 10 seconds.
While Thermolysis is very popular in the US for its speed, The Blend Method or Galvanic are preferred in some cases.
If your electrologist is trained in each of these modalities, it's their responsibility to choose which is the best fit for your needs.
