Unwanted hair can be frustrating to manage—especially when it’s resistant to shaving, waxing, or laser treatments. Electrolysis offers a permanent solution by targeting each hair follicle with a gentle electrical current that prevents future growth. It’s the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal and can safely treat all hair types and colors.
MacInnis Dermatology provides electrolysis services at our locations in Leesburg, The Villages, and Mt. Dora.
What Is Electrolysis?
Electrolysis is a precise hair removal treatment that uses a fine, sterile probe to treat individual hair follicles. A small amount of energy is applied to the base of the follicle, which gradually stops it from producing new hair.
Unlike laser hair removal, which works best on darker hair, electrolysis works on:
- Blonde, gray, red, and dark hair
- Fine facial hair and coarse body hair
- All skin tones and types
- Hair in small or sensitive areas like the chin, upper lip, or bikini line
With consistent treatment, electrolysis leads to permanent hair reduction and eventual removal in the treated area.
Who Might Benefit from Electrolysis
This treatment is a great choice for people who want a long-term solution for hair removal, especially when laser isn't an option.
You may be a candidate if you:
- Have white, gray, blonde, or red hair that does not respond to laser
- Experience irritation or ingrown hairs from waxing or shaving
- Want to remove hair permanently in specific areas
- Are looking for a safe and proven method for all hair and skin types
Your provider will assess the treatment area and help create a personalized plan based on your hair type and growth patterns.
Your Hair Removal Appointment
During treatment, a very fine, sterile probe is gently applied to the base of each hair follicle. A brief pulse of energy is delivered to stop the follicle from producing new hair. Most patients describe the sensation as a light warmth or mild tingling, and treatment is typically well tolerated.
Multiple sessions are needed to treat hairs in different stages of growth. The number of sessions varies based on hair color, texture, and location. There is no required downtime, though you may notice slight redness or sensitivity for a short time afterward.
