What Is Electrolysis?
Electrolysis is a permanent hair removal treatment that targets the follicle responsible for hair growth. During treatment, a fine probe is inserted into the natural opening of the hair follicle. Radio frequency energy is then applied to help stop the follicle from producing new hair.
Unlike shaving or waxing, electrolysis does not simply remove hair from the surface. It treats the source of growth. That makes it an excellent option for people who want lasting improvement rather than repeated short-term maintenance.
Electrolysis may be used on many areas of the face and body, including:
- Chin
- Upper lip
- Eyebrows
- Cheeks
- Neck
- Underarms
- Bikini area
- Arms
- Legs
- Other small or targeted areas
Many clients choose electrolysis for fine, light, gray, red, or blonde hairs that may not respond as well to laser hair removal. If you are unsure whether electrolysis or laser hair removal is the better fit, our team can help you review your options.
The Process
How Does Electrolysis Work?
How does electrolysis work? Electrolysis works by treating each hair follicle individually. A trained provider places a very fine probe into the follicle and applies a controlled amount of radio frequency energy. This energy affects the growth center of the follicle, helping prevent future hair growth from that treated follicle.
Because hair grows in cycles, multiple appointments are typically needed. Not every follicle is actively producing visible hair at the same time, so consistent treatment helps address hairs as they enter the appropriate growth stage. The exact number of visits depends on the size of the area, hair density, hair growth patterns, and your personal goals.
Electrolysis is especially helpful for clients who are tired of:
- Constant tweezing
- Shaving irritation
- Waxing appointments
- Ingrown hairs
- Stubborn facial hair
- Hair regrowth after temporary removal methods
At Electrolysis & Laser Center, your treatment plan is tailored to your needs. We take the time to understand your concerns and provide care designed around long-term results.

Electrolysis vs. Laser Hair Removal
Electrolysis and laser hair removal are both popular options for reducing unwanted hair, but they work differently. Electrolysis treats individual follicles with radio frequency energy and is designed for permanent hair removal. Laser hair removal uses light energy to target pigment in the hair and is often used for larger areas where long-term reduction is the goal.
Laser hair removal in Stevens Point may be a good choice for areas such as the legs, back, underarms, bikini line, or other larger treatment zones. Electrolysis may be preferred for smaller areas, lighter hairs, facial hair, or hair that remains after laser treatment.
At Electrolysis & Laser Center, we offer both electrolysis and laser hair removal, which allows us to recommend a treatment plan based on your needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. In some cases, the two services may complement each other.
During your visit, we can help you understand which service is most appropriate based on:
- Hair color and texture
- Skin type
- Treatment area
- Desired permanence
- Time commitment
- Previous hair removal methods
