What is Electrolysis? Electrolysis is the removal of unwanted hair through the means of a needle inserted into the follicle. There are three different methods (modalities) used to accomplish this: Short Wave: A high frequency radio energy, which sets up a rapid oscillation or vibration in the cells of the follicle producing heat. Using this method, the hair tissue is then cauterized. Galvanic: The Galvanic Method uses direct current to produce sodium hydroxide in the follicle, which then chemically acts to annihilate the hair tissue. Blend: The Blend Method combines both the Short Wave and Galvanic modalities and, with the oscillation of the high frequency radio energy, produces heated sodium hydroxide to destroy the hair tissue. back Does Electrolysis Hurt?
