Electrolysis or Thermolysis requires a series of treatments and sometimes ongoing maintenance. Electrolysis is a relatively slow process because the first concern is always your skin. We must remove each individual hair and do so without damaging or scaring your skin in the process. Electrolysis is best for treating very small areas of the body like your chin, ears, side burns, eye brows and lip area. As well, electrolysis is necessary for White, Blond and Red hairs that are not suitable targets for laser hair removal treatments. For larger areas of the body, and provided you are a good candidate, your best hair removal treatment option is using the LightSheer Diode laser hair removal system.
