Electrolysis is a hair removal method that uses electrical currents to permanently destroy hair follicles, preventing future hair growth. The process involves inserting a fine probe into the hair follicle and applying an electric current, which damages the follicle so that it can no longer produce hair. It is considered the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal.

Yes! Electrolysis is the only method approved by the FDA for permanent hair removal. Unlike waxing or laser, electrolysis destroys the hair follicle, preventing regrowth.

Some clients are surprised to learn that multiple electrolysis treatments sessions are needed to achieve desired results. There is a lengthy scientific explanation as to why several sessions are needed, but it basically comes down to the fact that hair grows in different stages. At any given time, there are hair follicles with visible hairs and dormant hair follicles, where hair hasn't yet reached the skins surface. To give an example, it can be helpful to look in the mirror. Perhaps you have some hair growing above your upper lip. While you might have lots of hair follicles in this area, not every hair follicle will have a hair growing out of it at this particular moment. When you visit Amber Waves Electrology I will treat the visible hairs but dormant hair follicles will need to be worked on during later visits. We need to treat each hair follicle to give the hair free look you're hopping for.

The number of sessions varies, but most clients need multiple treatments over several months for permanent results. Factors like hair type, area, and hormones can affect the timeline.

The FDA has registered Electrolysis as a permanent hair removal method since 1875, when Dr. Charles E. Michel first introduced it. As of 2007, the FDA recognizes Electrolysis as the only permanent method of hair removal.

Electrolysis is the only true permanent hair removal method and the only permanent treatment recognized by the FDA. Electrology is the science of permanent hair removal. using state-of-the-art technology, a minute amount of electricity is gently applied to the base of the hair follicle. This process destroys the hair growth tissue. Therefore, the regenerative ability of the hair follicle is permanently eliminated. Unlike laser, Electrolysis works on any hair type color, texture, and skin type!
