Unwanted body hair has been a problem, particularly for women. Electrolysis offers a solution to this problem. It has gained a lot of popularity in the recent times owing to the advantages it offers. The process works by inserting a very fine needle like probe into every individual hair follicle. It uses shortwave radio frequencies in hair follicles to stop new hair from growing. This damages your hair follicles to prevent growth and causes existing hairs to fall out. However, you\u2019ll need multiple sessions for the best results.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/myraskinclinic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Electrolysis.docx\">Electrolysis<\/a> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-93\" src=\"https:\/\/myraskinclinic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/maxresdefault-300x168.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myraskinclinic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/maxresdefault-300x168.webp 300w, https:\/\/myraskinclinic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/maxresdefault.webp 392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p><p>Types <strong>\u00a0<\/strong>of Electroepilation<\/p><p>Depending on the of electrical current used electroepilation is categorised into 3 types.<\/p><ol><li><em> Eletrolysis(chemolysis) using direct (galvanic) current.<\/em><\/li><li><em> Thermolysis using high frequency alternating current. <\/em><\/li><li><em> Blend using combination of both direct and alternating current.<\/em><\/li><\/ol><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong><em>Mechanism and General Principles <\/em><\/strong><\/p><p>In all electro epilation techniques the needle is inserted into follicular opening down to the level of follicular germinative cells.
