What most of the permanent hair removal systems really offer is hair reduction, which lessens over time. Most hair removal systems work towards the complete destruction of a hair follicle’s ability to grow hair yet again.
If you are looking for permanent hair removal, the market offers a number of methods which are not quite 100%. You could probably take a look at some of these options:
-
Electrolysis: This is a process where an electric current is applied to hair roots to kill them.
-
Galvanic Electrolysis is the original method and tends to be used for thick, coarse hair. This uses direct electric current passed down a needle into the hair follicle where it creates a chemical reaction. This reaction converts tissue saline into sodium hydroxide, a caustic agent that then destroys the hair bulb.
-
Thermolysis utilizes a high frequency electrical current and is generally used on fine hair. This uses a high frequency alternating current that is passed down through the needle to the hair follicle. The high frequency causes vibration in the cells of the hair follicle to produce enough heat to cauterize the hair bulb.
-
The Blend Method which uses a combination of Galvanic Electrolysis and Thermolysis and tends to be used for facial hair removal.
- Laser hair removal: Laser and light-based methods are sometimes called phototricholysis or photoepilation.
-
Flashlamps - Intense Pulsed Light (IPL): Variable Pulsed Light (VPL), Controlled Pulsed Light (CPL), Intense Flash Light (IFL) are all based on the same method.
