Body hair once offered a utilitarian purpose. We have found more appealing ways to handle those functions. Now, body hair is often unsightly or gets snagged in our clothing. Uncontrollable factors ranging from genetics to hormones can determine how hairy we become. Medications can also lead to adverse hair growth. Susan Davina has trained to help those in the NYC area look their best with body hair removal services.
Electrolysis Body Hair Removal
Electrolysis works by inserting a thin needle into the hole of a hair follicle. This needle directs a focused electrical current into the base of the follicle, damaging the root. With sufficient damage, hair growth will be prevented.
A topical numbing agent is used to keep discomfort to a minimum.
