Advanced Electrolysis

Permanent Hair Removal

At RENEW Wellness Spa, we specialize in advanced electrolysis, a medically precise, inclusive method of permanent hair removal for all skin and hair types.

Electrolysis is the only method of permanent hair removal approved by the FDA. Unlike laser, which only reduces hair growth and is limited to dark hair, electrolysis treats each follicle individually to fully disable regrowth, regardless of hair color or skin tone.

This makes it the most comprehensive and reliable option available for permanent hair removal.

How It Works

A fine probe is inserted into the follicle, delivering a controlled electrical current that destroys the hair growth cells. Once treated, the follicle cannot produce hair again. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are needed to treat each follicle during its active growth phase.

Electrolysis Over Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal targets melanin (pigment) and is only effective on dark hair against lighter skin. It does not remove hair permanently. It reduces growth and is not suitable for white, blonde, red, or gray hair.

Electrolysis, by contrast:

• Works on every hair color and skin tone
• Targets individual follicles, not pigment
• Offers permanent results, not temporary reduction
• Is safe for sensitive areas, including the face and bikini line

For clients seeking a definitive, long-term solution, especially for hormonal or laser-resistant hair, electrolysis remains the gold standard.

Who It’s For

• All skin tones and hair colors
• Hormonal facial hair (e.g., PCOS, menopause)
• Laser-resistant or fine, light-colored hair
• Clients seeking permanent removal rather than reduction

Common Treatment Areas

• Chin and upper lip
• Jawline and cheeks
• Underarms
• Bikini and Brazilian
• Areola
• Fingers, toes, and stomach line

Equipment and Certification

Treatments are performed with a professional European electrolysis system that supports both thermolysis and galvanic current for true blend technique. Blend provides controlled follicle treatment with less intensity than traditional heat-only methods, creating a more comfortable experience. Medical-grade topical lidocaine is available for clients who prefer additional numbing. RENEW Wellness Spa is led by Columbia’s leading electrologist, trained internationally in advanced electrolysis methods and clinical hygiene protocols.
