Electrolysis is a process of permanent hair removal using electrical current or radio wave energy. The current must be applied to one follicle at a time in order to destroy the follicle so that it never re-grows hair. While electrolysis can be affordable and effective, there are also potential drawbacks that don't make it the right choice for everyone. Electrolysis on a small area is affordable for almost anyone, but on a large area it becomes quite costly. This means, for example, that if you have some unwanted hair above your lip or around your bikini line, electrolysis would likely be a desirable procedure. You are not, however, likely to want to use electrolysis to remove all of the hair on your legs or your back. While pain is supposedly minimal, some people find the process painful enough that they are not able to have the full treatment they desired. If you want to try electrolysis at home in order to save money or to do a preliminary trial to see if you like the results and can tolerate the physical discomfort, there are options. Among the most popular and affordable are the Epilady, the E-Pen, and the One Touch systems. You should be very careful, however, if you want to attempt home electrolysis. For example, it's essential that you not use the equipment to remove hair from your nose or ears, from beauty marks or moles, or from intimate areas. If home electrolysis works for you, you'll have an easy and stress-free way to remove unwanted hair--at your convenience.
