Reasons for hair removal, either temporary or permanent, are: cosmetic, mechanical (divers, oxygen masks), medical (for surgery) and legal (military, police).

We recommend the blend technique, as it is effective for all types and thicknesses of hair, including curved and distorted follicles.

Excess androgens (a hormone) cause excess hair growth.

Individuals acclimatize to electrolysis.

A brand new sterilized probe is used for each appointment, and never re-used.

Electrolysis has been around for over 100 years with an amazing track record of long-term results.

The electricity in electrolysis is delivered almost ¼ inch, or ¾ cm., below the skin’s surface, where the hair root is destroyed, and prevents regrowth.

Electrolysis destroys the hair root using heat and chemical energy.

The blend combines the sureness of the galvanic electrolysis current with the swiftness of the thermolysis current, the most efficient, effective way of producing permanent hair removal.

Most individuals describe electrolysis as uncomfortable, not painful. If there is no sensation, then proper electrolysis isn’t being delivered.

Removing hair from an actively growing follicle is more effective, less time-consuming, more comfortable, and provides easier removal.

Medical reasons for hair removal include hirsutism, [referring to androgen (male hormone) dependent, coarse, dark] hair growth in a male sexual pattern, occurring in women.

Thermolysis is only permanently effective for FINE straight hair. The blend (thermolysis and galvanic) is recommended for all other hair types.

Laser hair removal can be dangerous if done on eyebrows because if the light comes in contact with the eyes there could be damage.

Lasting Effect uses the blend - thermolysis (heat current) AND galvanic (chemical action), to remove hair permanently."
