FAQ: Electrolysis & Hair Removal at Haven Hair Removal

Electrolysis is the only FDA-recognized method of permanent hair removal. It works by inserting a very fine probe into the natural opening of the hair follicle and applying a small amount of energy to destroy the cells responsible for hair growth. Once a follicle has been successfully treated, it can no longer produce hair.Electrolysis can be used on virtually all skin tones and hair colors, including blonde, gray, red, and white hairs that may not respond well to laser hair removal. Common treatment areas include the face, eyebrows, chin, upper lip, neck, underarms, bikini line, abdomen, and other areas where unwanted hair grows.
