Due to fluctuating hormones during pregnancy, many women experience unwanted hair growth on areas of the body including the face, abdomen and chest.  At Nios we use the thermolysis (“short wave”) method which, unlike the galvanic method, is considered entirely safe for pregnant women and their unborn children.

Thermolysis works by using a thin filament to deliver heat into each hair follicle, thereby impeding its ability to produce more hair. The follicle either gets immediately destroyed or progressively weaker as treatment progresses until it stops producing hair altogether. The key difference that makes this the preferred method of unwanted hair removal during pregnancy is that the galvanic method forms an electric circuit through the body, but thermolysis does not.
