What is Electrology?

Updated: Oct 26, 2022





Electrolysis is the method of using electricity to damage and destroy hair follicles, and has been around for over a century (yes, over a century). This first account of using electricity to remove hair occurred in 1875 while treating ingrown eyelashes (Charles Michel). Since then, electrolysis has grown to be a popular method of hair removal. According to the FDA, electrolysis is the only permanent hair removal method, and this is due to the unique way in which electricity can remove hair.


During a treatment, an electrologist inserts a tiny probe into the follicle without puncturing the surrounding skin. Once inserted, the probe delivers an electric current in the milliamperes range to the skin tissue. The electrical current irreparably damages the follicle, allowing the hair to come out of the follicle easily, and removes the ability of the follicle to produce hair in the future. Electrolysis is capable of eliminating any color of hair including

white and blonde hair exceptionally effectively.
