Hair color and permanent hair removal: What you need to know

white hair
If you have gray, white, blonde or red hair

If you have gray, white, blonde or red hair, you may have heard that you can’t do permanent hair removal. We’re here to dispel those rumors!

Not only can you do permanent hair removal, but doing it with electrolysis means your treatment will be 100% as effective as if you had brown or black hair. Why? Electrolysis doesn’t rely on hair color to work, but instead delivers heat directly to the root of the hair using a refined, bendy probe.

The same is not true for laser

The same is not true for laser, which requires melanin pigment in the hair to transfer the heat. Since light hair has little to no pigment, lasers can’t target them – at all. This is precisely why electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal.

Whether you’re a blonde, brunette or redhead, or if you have white or gray hair, we can all agree that no one deserves to put up with unwanted hair. And what’s a story without a happy ending?

We’re here to help.

Electrolysis uses a refined, bendy probe to deliver heat directly to and destroy hair roots.
It doesn’t rely on hair or skin color, as opposed to other hair removal methods. This is why it’s the only method that can even treat white, gray, red, and fuzz hair and any skin color.
It’s therefore the only FDA-approved method to claim permanent removal (others can only offer permanent reduction).

I was pleasantly surprised by how minimal the discomfort was during my electrolysis treatment. Compared to other methods I've tried, it was virtually painless, leaving me feeling confident and at ease.
