Electrologists' Association of California
Say goodbye to unwanted hair - permanently.
Electrolysis safely and permanently removes unwanted hair from the face and body. Electrolysis is effective on all skin and hair types — for both men and women.
Electrolysis is the only method of hair removal approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) for permanent hair removal. Countless physicians and medical articles confirm the success of electrolysis. No other hair removal process can claim permanent results — not even laser!
Electrolysis is Safe and Successful on all hair and skin types!
The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) statement on Electrolysis:
"Electrolysis is considered a permanent hair removal method,since it destroys the hair follicle. [Electrolysis] requires a series of appointments [to achieve permanent results]."
The FDA statement is clear - Electrolysis is permanent!
The FDA statement on Laser:
"Manufacturers may not claim that laser hair removal is either painless or permanent... several manufacturers had received FDA permission to claim 'permanent reduction'...".
The FDA statement is vague. But here is the central summation of their statement. Let's say a hair on your body grows and sheds in three months. If laser causes the hair to stay away for 6 months, that is considered "permanent hair reduction". Are you going to be happy with some hairs staying away longer? Or, do you want permanent results?

Before and After
22-year-old man wanted his chest hair thinned but not totally removed. It took 7 treatment hours to achieve the look he wanted: natural, but less hair. Only electrolysis is able to create a completely natural look by thinning and feathering. Laser cannot duplicate this natural appearance. Results were, of course, permanent.
Before and After
Hairline: before and immediately after treatment.
Electrolysis Tip
Clean skin releases unwanted hair more easily. Remove your makeup before your appointment, 
so the hair follicles are clean and accessible.
Did you know?
Gently exfoliating your skin before your treatment opens up the follicles and lets the unwanted hair slide out more easily.
Before and After
Publicity photo of a 25-year-old film/stage actor. The body hair was sculpted, not just removed. Hairs were cleared at the lower pectorals. Hair in the center of the chest was feathered to look normal. The stomach hair was thinned and shaped into a normal centerline. Only electrolysis can produce this natural and undetectable appearance. Results were permanent. (Electrologist: Mike Bono, Santa Barbara.)
Did you know?
The hair you see is not all the hair you have. Hair grows in cycles. That's why it takes more than one appointment to permanently clear an area.
Electrolysis Tip
It's okay to shave between treatments, but never, ever tweeze!
Did you Know?
Electrology is the only hair removal method recognized as permanent by the FDA.
Before and After
26-year-old man with excessive beard hair on his neck. Because the skin is thin, he had great difficulty shaving (often resulting in hundreds of pustules and ingrown hairs). The "after photo" is just before his final treatment to remove scattered hairs. The total treatment was 9 hours. Results were permanent.
