The inventor of electrolysis was Dr. Charles E. Michael, an eye doctor. Since its advent well over a century ago, the procedure has been cut down and nearly perfected, although there are still a few potential drawbacks. If you are interested in a enduring hair removal alternative, you should contact a professional electrologist.

The process of electrolysis is really quite simple to understand. A needle is inserted into an individual hair follicle, and radio or emotional waves permanently destroys the hair follicle so that hair cannot grow back. When you shave, you are only removing the hair that has previously protruded the skin, and with waxing the root of the hair is removed, but the follicle is intact, and therefore hair can grow back. The only way to prevent hair from returning is to kill the follicle. There are three method of electrolysis: short wave, galvanic, and a blend of both short wave and galvanic.

The short wave method, also referred to as alternating present electrolysis, utilizes high-frequency radio waves that rapidly oscillate and vibrate so that the cells in the follicle are heated up and destroyed. The galvanic mode, also referred to as direct current electrolysis, sends a straight current to the hair follicle which causes a chemical reaction that kills the follicle. The blended method, also known as dual modality electrolysis, uses the heat and the chemical reaction to attack the follicle. It is usually agreed upon that the blended method is the most efficient mode of electrolysis hair removal.
