Electrolysis is the most effective and established method of permanent hair removal for all hair types and skin tones. This means you can you can permanently remove hair from unwanted places with limited discomfort!

Electrolysis using a sterile IB probe is the most effective and established method of permanent hair removal for all hair types and skin tones. Not only is electrolysis the ONLY permanent hair removal method approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the American Medical Association and Federal Drug Administration recognize electrolysis as a safe and permanent method of hair removal.

During the process of electrolysis, a very fine probe is inserted into a hair follicle. This activates an electric current that destroys the papilla by traveling through the needle to the root of the hair. As a result, the papilla becomes cauterized and the follicle no longer produces hair.

Each client receives an individual IB Probe. Unlike regular "straight needles", the IB Probe has insulation along its shaft. This keeps discharge of electric current from appearing on the shaft. The current is able to concentrate at the tip, where the IB Probe approaches the papilla.

The tip of the IB Probe is non-insulated and slightly thicker than the insulated shaft. This ensures that contact between the IB Probe tip and papilla occurs. It also ensures that the IB Probe will not pierce the skin, and can only enter the skin at the opening of the hair follicle.

Overall, electrolysis is an efficient permanent hair removal method, with minimal discomfort and no risk of tissue damage.
