Cosmetic Electrolysis Clinic is permanent hair removal by the use of electricity. I insert a fine wire into the hair follicle next to the root of the hair and the electricity damages the root of the hair and the follicle that's capable of reproducing the hair. What you can expect to feel is a little burning or stinging sensation that lasts momentarily. When the process is complete and the hair follicle is completely dead, it will never produce another hair.
