Standard hair removal treatment

Electrolysis

Electrolysis hair removal is the only method approved by the FDA for permanent hair removal.
It does require multiple sessions to achieve best possible results and permanent hair removal isn’t 100% guaranteed for everyone.

Electrolysis by Karen Crawford available twice a month in our office.
Karen Crawford of Shelbyville, KY has been serving customers hair removal needs for 25 years. She offers services in electrolysis treatments twice a month in our offices. Karen specializes in electrolysis treatments and is proud to have the following certifications and affiliations - Registered & Internationally Board Certified.

How Does it Work?

An electric current is applied with a very fine needle-shaped electrode, or metal probe into each hair follicle to destroy the root. There are three types of electrolysis: galvanic, thermolysis and blend.

Hair grows in different stages: growing, resting and shedding. Because all of the hair isn’t on the same stage at any given time, multiple sessions are needed to get the hair in the growth phase for electrolysis hair removal to be most effective, just like laser hair removal.

The Pros

• It has the best track record. Electrolysis has the best overall results, versus any other method, in ridding hair for long periods of time- or even permanently.


• Many different hair and skin types can benefit. Because it doesn’t target hair pigment (color) like laser, but attacks the follicle itself. People that aren’t good candidates for laser can still get electrolysis.
  

The Cons

• Bent follicles can make electrolysis hair removal harder. Previous waxing or tweezing can make hair follicles bent or misshapen, and getting the needle to the root more difficult to destroy the follicle.


• Multiple treatments are needed. You have to truly be committed to electrolysis because you will need anywhere from 15 – 30 sessions, which will take up a considerable amount of your time.


• Skin can get discolored. This is most likely to occur if it's improperly done.
