Electrolysis

---

There's no need to worry if you are not a candidate for laser hair removal because we have another hair removal option at Lynne's.  Electrolysis has been around since 1875 and remains the only permanent form of hair removal for all skin types and hair colors. Obviously, the technology has improved, but the basic concept is unchanged. Electrolysis is a precise, hair-by-hair process, which involves a small, insulated, pre-sterilized needle that is inserted into each hair follicle. A combination of heat and electricity causes a chemical reaction at the follicle which causes the hair to detach at the root, and become weaker and weaker over time until the root is permanently cauterized. A short "zapping" sensation is felt as each hair is treated, but compared to tweezing or waxing, it is certainly more tolerable. Each treatment takes about 20 minutes, and depending on the area being worked on, treatments may recur every 3 to 6 weeks for optimum results. Similar to laser, the number of treatments will vary from person to person.
