What Are Electrolysis & Thermolysis?

Electrolysis and Thermolysis are advanced, medically supervised procedures that offer permanent hair removal by targeting hair follicles at their root.
These treatments are ideal for individuals seeking long-lasting, precise, and effective hair removal solutions — especially for small or sensitive areas where laser may not be suitable.

At Modern Aestheticss, we use state-of-the-art technology and dermatologist-guided protocols to ensure safe, comfortable, and lasting results for all skin and hair types.

How Do They Work?

Treatments are customized to your skin condition:

Electrolysis uses a fine probe to deliver a low electrical current into each hair follicle. This current destroys the follicle’s growth center, preventing future hair growth permanently.
• Suitable for all skin tones and hair colors
• Best for small areas such as upper lip, chin, sideburns, or underarms

Thermolysis uses high-frequency radio waves to generate heat within the hair follicle, effectively disabling its regrowth capacity.
• Quick and precise
• Minimal discomfort and faster healing
• Ideal for sensitive or fine hair areas

Key Similarities & Differences

How We Perform Electrolysis & Thermolysis at Modern Aestheticss

  • Evaluate overall hair growth pattern, density, thickness, and skin type to determine the safest and most effective approach.

  • Identify areas suitable for electrolysis or thermolysis based on hair texture, follicle depth, and long-term results.

  • Customize a treatment plan, recommended session frequency, and expected timeline for permanent hair reduction.

  • Assess any previous hair removal methods (waxing, shaving, laser) that may affect follicle behavior and treatment speed.

  • Check for skin sensitivity, underlying conditions, or medications that could impact healing or hair growth.

• Cleanse and prepare the area
• Insert a fine sterile probe into each follicle
• Deliver controlled electrical or thermal energy to destroy the follicle
• Remove treated hairs gently and precisely
• Apply a soothing post-treatment lotion to calm the skin

• Mild redness or tingling may occur temporarily
• Avoid heat, waxing, or plucking for 48–72 hours
• Keep area clean and moisturized
• Follow-up sessions scheduled as needed for optimal clearance

Why You Need A Doctor's Consultation

  • Accurate assessment of hair type and growth pattern
  • Selection of appropriate method (Electrolysis or Thermolysis)
  • Professional hygiene and sterilization standards
  • Safe, effective results under dermatologist supervision

Frequently Asked Question

Is it permanent?

Yes — electrolysis and thermolysis permanently destroy hair follicles for lasting results.

Is it suitable for all hair colors?

Yes, including light, grey, red, and fine hairs that lasers often miss.

Which areas can be treated?

Face, chin, upper lip, sideburns, underarms, bikini line, and small body areas.

How many sessions are needed?

Multiple sessions are usually required to target hairs in all growth phases.

Does hair grow back after electrolysis?

Not once the follicle is fully treated. Those hairs are gone for good. You might see a few new ones later, but that’s usually due to hormones or follicles that weren’t active during earlier sessions. Stick to the full treatment plan, and the results stay permanent.

Can you do laser and electrolysis at the same time?

You can use both in the same overall treatment plan, but not on the exact same area during the same session. Most people start with laser to thin out the bulk of the hair and then switch to electrolysis for the finer, stubborn hairs that laser can’t remove. Spacing them out keeps your skin safe and helps you get smoother results faster.

What is a thermolysis electrolysis machine?

A thermolysis electrolysis machine is a device that removes hair by using high-frequency energy to create heat inside the follicle. That heat destroys the hair root so it can’t grow back. It’s one of the fastest electrolysis methods and works especially well for fine or light hairs.
