If you have decided that you would like to try electrolysis to permanently remove hair but are hesitating about embarking on months of costly treatment you may have thought about investing in an electrolysis machine to carry out the treatment yourself at home.
If you are thinking of buying a home electrolysis machine you need to be aware that there are a quite a few that don’t work. I’ll say more on that in a moment but first of all I want to make sure it is clear that even those electrolysis home kits which work are not for everyone. I have written about this before but I’ll say it again in case you are new to this site.
You see you need quite a bit of patience to carry out electrolysis on yourself. The operators of a professional electrolysis machine are trained beauticians and they go through a stringent certification before they are let loose on the public. So it stands to reason that you can’t immediately dive in and whisk away all your hair in 5 minutes.
Also the process itself can be slow as you are working on each individual hair. You will be surprised at how many little unwanted hairs there are in a square inch of skin. And you need to catch each one at the right stage of growth – or it grows back!
A good electrolysis system if a home electrolysis system is right for you at all

If you are thinking of treating your face, I would also advise that you get a bit of practice on less sensitive areas of the body and work up to any more sensitive areas. All in all this can take a fair bit of time. But then so does professional electrolysis. In that too you have to treat each individual hair at the right stage of growth.
If you think you do have the necessary patience and want to try out electrolysis at home avoid any system that says it works by grasping the hair and shooting an electric current through it. These systems are ineffective for permanently removing hair.
The electrolysis systems which work are those with a probe which you insert into the hair follicle without breaking the skin. The only system that exists like this as far as I know for the home market is the One Touch. Take a look at the Reviews on Amazon
