Hi,

Electrolysis of hairs is a permanent method of removing the hair by destroying the growth center of hair by heat or chemical energy by inserting a fine probe into the hair follicle. It is generally a very safe method approved by FDA. Side effects are minimal which are redness, swelling and tenderness at local site, which are mostly temporary and these go of their own. After effect may be scar or a keloid. But the frequency of these after effects is very less.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
