A electrologist inserts a very fine needle into the natural opening of the hair follicle alongside the hair shaft. A electrical current is then applied to destroy the hair germinative cells.

Permanent hair removal takes time and will need multiple sessions to cover all stages of the hair growth. The various stages include Anagen which is the growth phase, Catagen or the shedding stage where the hair follicle detaches from nourshing blood supply, and Telogen which is the shedding phase where the hair follicle dies out.

The end result is permanent hair removal, something that cannot be achieved with laser treatment or any other forms of hair removal
