Electrolysis

Feel Amazing With Beautiful, Smooth Skin

Electrolysis is the method of removing individual hairs from your face or body. After a sterile needle is inserted into the hair follicle, electricity is applied to destroy the follicle. Electrolysis is a safe process that over the course of your treatment plan will permanently destroy the growth cells in the follicles.


After undergoing the process, your confidence to show off your skin will improve with the help of Gentle Touch. With more than 20 years of serving the area, you’re in good hands with our team of professionals. Before beginning, we’ll discuss your specific situation and talk to you about your health history. Our goal is to provide you with the best treatment that best fits your needs.

What is Electrolysis?

There are three basic methods or modalities by which electrolysis is accomplished.


  • Electrolysis/Galvanic - Direct current (DC) is used to cause a chemical reaction that forms caustic lye, which destroys the follicles' cells that can form hair.
  • Thermolysis - Alternating current (AC) is used to create heat which dries up the follicle and destroys the blood supply to the follicle.
  • Blend - Both Galvanic and Thermolysis are activated simultaneously or sequentially to accomplish the destruction of the follicle.
