Electrolysis is a highly effective method for permanent hair removal, particularly suitable for small areas like the face and sensitive regions. It also treats thread veins and removes skin tags, offering a comprehensive solution for various skin concerns.

The procedure involves inserting a fine probe into the hair follicle and transmitting heat to cauterise the hair root. Multiple treatments are usually necessary for permanent removal, with gradual decrease in hair growth over time. The treatment is generally described as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful.

Electrolysis can address unwanted hair growth caused by hereditary factors, stress, illnesses, medications, or hormonal changes. It's most commonly used for small areas due to its precise, individual hair targeting nature. For larger areas, alternative treatments like Ellipse may be more suitable.
