Electrolysis refers to the method used to remove hair permanently. It is a globally recognized, time tested method that has been utilised for permanent hair for over a century. Even physicians validate this remarkable treatment. The results obtained by removing hair by electrolysis have been well-documented and published in medical journals for many, many years. Electrolysis is considered both safe and permanent.  Though it removes hair permanently, it is still quite safe and gentle to the skin.  It is a superior method that requires less maintenance and time than shaving, depilating, waxing and tweezing. If you are parent that is considering electrolysis permanent hair removal for your children, examine the process and the safety of electrolysis in treatment of children less than 14 years.

How it works?

A trained electrologist utilizes a needle-like device to administer electrolysis.  The sterilized needle is inserted in to the hair follicle to permanently remove hair; a mild electric current flows through it to destroy the tissue and hair root using electricity and water.For this process to be successful, the follicle must be active and must be going through a normal growth cycle. This is the time that the follicles can be permanently treated.  For this reason, a full course of treatment is required, usually for a span of 3-4 weeks for small patches of hair.  At each treatment, more hair will be permanently removed from the area.

Methods used

Electrolysis is a highly recommended method of hair removal, even for children.  It is a safe, permanent hair removal method that has been used for a period of 125 years with no reports of infection.  Though it is highly safe and time tested, it is always best to receive a pre-treatment consultation; this is the time that a trained electrolysis can fully explain the treatment process and possible mild side effects.  He or she will explain all of the pre-treatment and post-treatment guidelines, including how long a full course of treatment is anticipated.  The professional will also address the risks, if any, when treating children.  As a general rule if electrolysis is delivered by a well-trained professional that uses an appropriate device such as an epilator (considering the sterile needles are used), then the safety of electrolysis in treatment of children less than 14 years should not concern parents.
