    Electrolysis and Hair Removal

    • Electrolysis damages papilla cells using electric current for permanent hair removal.
    • The blend method combines thermolysis technology with galvanic for effective hair removal.
    • Thermolysis specifically involves inserting a needle into a hair follicle to destroy hair.

    • Eyebrow hair is tweezed in the direction of hair growth for better results.
