Home Electrolysis: Worth It?

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

If you have unwanted body or facial hair it will require some form of hair removal like plucking, shaving, laser, waxing or electrolysis.  This mini-guide will discuss home electrolysis and whether it is worth taking the chance to do it yourself.  Personally, I would not recommend it but when you want a longer lasting hair removal method and do not have access to a professional or you cannot afford the procedure then it is your choice.  Electrolysis done by a trained professional is the process of electrical current being applied to the hair follicle via a tiny needle to remove individual hairs and kill the root to halt further hair growth.  It is not typical for the average consumer to have access to the professional equipment required for this procedure thus it is not recommended.
