Electrolysis Electrolysis and laser hair removal do not always remove all hair permanently. Often clients have to return for 'clean up' sessions to remove stray hairs. Applying Ultra Hair Away in conjunction with electrolysis or laser treatment will ensure the hair does not grow back.
Electrolysis refers to the destruction of hair roots with an electric current.
Method A DC current passing through the needle causes a chemical reaction in the hair follicle which produces sodium hydroxide, also know as lye, which destroys the hair follicle. An AC current passing through the needle causes vibration in the water molecules surrounding the hair follicle which produces heat. The heat damages the hair follicle. This method is much faster but less reliable than galvanic electrolysis. Thermolysis is also known as 'short-wave radio frequency diathermy'.
