Using an insulated medical probe, this super comfortabl­e treatment releases a precise high frequency current directly underneath the skin, to permanentl­y destroy the parts that feed hair growth. This is also a great for targeting ingrown hairs as electrolys­is treats each strand individual­ly, and can target specific hairs that are problemati­c on any part of the body. Depending on the area and the amount of hair you want to remove, you can choose from anything between a quick 15-minute to a onehour session. Duration: 1 hour
