Electrolysis is a procedure that involves needles, which are electrically charged to remove any extra hair on your face and body.  These needles enter the hair shaft and destroy the hair roots, thus, leaving you with permanent, smooth skin.

The cost of electrolysis is expensive because special equipment and specially-trained people are needed to achieve the desired results.  Electrolysis costs usually cover just one area of the body or face at a time.  The cost of electrolysis treatment is not covered in most insurance claims.  This is because this procedure is not a necessity and more on the aesthetic side.  The individual who wishes to remove unwanted body hair usually shoulders the cost of electrolysis hair removal.

The price of electrolysis is related to the cost of electrolysis equipment, which is already expensive enough to purchase.  Plus, it also depends on the skill of the person doing the procedure since you are also paying for that expertise.
