Electrolysis

Electrolysis is by far the most proven way to eradicate unwanted hair and keep it gone. What is electrolysis you might ask? Electrolysis involves the insertion of a metal probe the thickness of a hair into the hair follicle. If done correctly, there is no skin puncture. This thin metal probe in electrolysis hair removal delivers an electrical charge which works to damage the follicle to prevent future hair growth.

If you want a successful electrolysis, treatment in Harrisburg Pennsylvania at a medical facility is your best bet. In fact, there are probably thousands of these electrolysis places all over the country. You might wonder if a home electrolysis machine would work for you. The answer is a big fat no.

There are not definitive studies that show that home machines like the e-pen electrolysis system works. In fact, they can do more harm than good. Hair is not a good conductor of electricity but your skin and the gel the directions want you to apply is too. So what happens when you try to zap that hair? The gel and the skin underneath are going to get the brunt of the zap, likely causing burns and irritation.

Other home kits exist that have limited success and should not have money spent on them. One is the vector electrolysis permanent hair removal kit. These are basically charged tweezers. Hmmm … how does the electrical charge actually get to the hair follicle to permanently damage it? It cannot. The one touch electrolysis system uses a nine volt battery and is a small hand held model. This one touch home electrolysis kit does not work too well either. And if you have sensitive skin, you should not even attempt it. Several people have reported to have permanent marks from this device and their hair grew back anyway.

The one true way is to solicit the services of a professional. While the cost of electrolysis does not break the bank, you can be sure that insurance won’t cover anything. Electrolysis per session can run anywhere from $75 and up. And if you were faced with the laser vs. electrolysis permanent hair removal choice, go with electrolysis. It has over one hundred years of proven safety and effectiveness. The laser method does work, but it is not totally tried and true yet. Stick with the proven winner of research and many, many trials. Electrolysis is time consuming, but if you want the method that will be the most effective, electrolysis is it.
