There are 3 different methods (modalities) to achieve this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Galvanic electrolysis<\/li>\n<li>Thermolysis<\/li>\n<li>Mixing method<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Galvanic electrolysis<\/strong> <br \/>  This uses direct current electrolysis, which means that a direct electrical current is passed through a needle into the hair follicle, where it creates a chemical reaction. This reaction converts the tissue. <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"1875\">saline<\/span> in sodium hydroxide, a caustic agent that then destroys the hair bulb.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thermolysis<\/strong> <br \/>  This uses a high-frequency alternating current that passes through the needle into the hair follicle. The high frequency causes vibrations in the hair follicle cells to produce enough heat to cauterize the hair bulb.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mixing method<\/strong> <br \/>  This combines the galvanic and thermolysis modalities.<\/p>\n<p>No clinical trials have been conducted to compare the methods, and any claims that one method is more effective over the other are based only on anecdotal evidence.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFQue-tan-efectiva-es-la-electrolisis\"><\/span>How effective is electrolysis?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The effectiveness of electrolysis is <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"1179\">dependent<\/span> on the skill of the technician (electrologist) who performs the procedure. Proper electrolysis requires a precise needle insertion technique and the use of the appropriate intensity and duration of current. The technician, based on the patient&#039;s pain threshold, sets the intensity measured in milliamps, and the duration of the current is controlled by how long the technician presses the hand or pedal. A common estimate of effectiveness is that 25% from treated hair does not regrow.<\/p>\n<p>Electrolysis is a very slow method of hair removal that can also be prolonged by having to repeatedly insert into the hair follicle. It can take a minute or more to remove each hair using galvanic electrolysis.<\/p>\n<p>The amount of pain experienced during the procedure depends on the individual&#039;s pain threshold. <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"1330\">Current<\/span> <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"1206\">anesthetic<\/span> Creams applied an hour before the procedure can help reduce discomfort. However, it is desirable to maintain a certain sensation since pain is related to the amount of damage to the hair follicle.<\/p>\n<section class=\"textBlock imageLinkBlockTitle\">\n<h5 class=\"colour--primary\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hirsutismo\"><\/span>Hirsutism<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"imageLinkBlock\">\n<div class=\"flex\">\n<div class=\"imageLinkBlock__item__image\">\n<p>                        <img alt='hirs-pcos__protectwyjqcm90zwn0il0_focusfillwzi5ncwymjisingildbd-4160647-6384692' src='https:\/\/doctorhoogstra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/hirs-pcos__ProtectWyJQcm90ZWN0Il0_FocusFillWzI5NCwyMjIsIngiLDBd-4160647.jpg'>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"p-small\">Hirsutism<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"clearfix imageLinkBlock\"><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFQuien-es-adecuado-para-la-electrolisis\"><\/span>Who is suitable for electrolysis?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Almost anyone who wants to remove unwanted hair is a candidate for electrolysis.
