When people hear the word “electrolysis,” most think of smooth, hair-free skin. But few know that this method of hair removal has been around for nearly 150 years—and it all started with an unexpected source: an eye doctor.

Let’s rewind the clock to the 19th century and see how a medical solution for eyelashes became the gold standard for permanent hair removal—and why it’s still trusted today, especially right here at Doreen Electrolysis Center in Sharjah.

From Eyelashes to Electrolysis: Where It All Began

In 1875, Dr. Charles Michel, an ophthalmologist in St. Louis, was treating a condition called trichiasis—where eyelashes grow inward and irritate the eye. To solve it, he used a fine needle and a low electrical current to destroy the hair root.

It worked. And just like that, electrolysis was born—not as a cosmetic procedure, but as a medical necessity.

Soon, professionals in dermatology and cosmetology began using the technique to remove unwanted facial and body hair permanently. It grew in popularity and became widely accepted across the world.

Why Electrolysis Still Matters Today

Electrolysis isn’t a trend. It’s a proven method that has stood the test of time—and for good reason.

Why so many continue to choose electrolysis:

• Permanent Results: Once the hair follicle is treated, it won’t grow back.

   

• Precision: Each individual hair is targeted and removed at the root.

   

• Safe for All Skin and Hair Types: Electrolysis works regardless of skin tone or hair texture.

   

Whether you’re dealing with unwanted facial hair, hormonal growth, or a long-standing grooming concern, electrolysis offers a long-term solution based on decades of success.
