Hair removal is a core part of professional skincare in the beauty industry. Through HICI Go's education platform, students can build real expertise in electrolysis, a technique that requires both knowledge and a steady hand, since electrologists work directly with electrical current.
HICI Go is an online education platform offering on-demand courses and live webinars across a wide range of beauty and wellness topics, along with select live, in-person courses in skincare and other subjects.
Electrolysis uses a small electric current to achieve permanent hair removal. A fine, sterile needle is inserted directly into the hair follicle, the tube-like structure the hair and its root grow from.
The current damages the root, the source of hair growth and once damaged, the hair falls out and doesn’t return. Full results often take more than one session to achieve.
Electrolysis remains the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal. Several instrument types exist in the industry today, each with slight differences in how they apply electrical current. Electrologists can explore these methods and find their preferred approach through HICI Go’s skincare courses, taught by experienced estheticians or through select live, in-person courses.
Anyone who’s shaved repeatedly before a pool day or a sleeveless outfit understands the appeal of permanent hair removal. Clients turn to electrolysis for all kinds of reasons: removing dark facial hair, eliminating back hair or simply retiring from a tiring cycle of shaving or waxing. After a handful of sessions, daily grooming gets simpler and faster.
Permanent hair removal also makes it easier to join in spontaneously, whether that’s a pool day, a shopping trip or a night out and it simplifies packing for warm-weather travel.
There are physiological reasons too. Clients with hirsutism, a condition causing excess hair growth, often turn to electrolysis to achieve the look they want. Clients going through gender transition may also use electrolysis, whether to support a new look or to manage hair growth triggered by hormone treatment.
Electrolysis works virtually anywhere on the body, including common trouble spots like the forearms, shoulders, groin and legs and it’s safe and effective across most skin types.
Electrologists should watch for common, temporary side effects like redness, irritation, pain or swelling, which typically fade within a day or two. With careful sterile technique and a solid understanding of hair growth physiology, practitioners can manage these side effects confidently. Investing in the right training is the best way to deliver this in-demand service well.
Beauty professionals, skincare specialists and anyone curious about hair removal can build real, skill-based expertise through HICI Go. Our platform is designed to fit busy schedules and a wide range of interests across the U.S.
Electrolysis is just one of many skincare technique courses HICI Go offers. The more a practitioner understands about the skin, from waxing and facials to dermaplaning and beyond, the more they can offer their clients. These services aren’t going anywhere and clients genuinely value a practitioner who’s knowledgeable across the board. No two clients have the same skin, concerns or goals.
The more depth, safety and experience you bring to the table, the more your services will be in demand. Electrology is a strong addition to any esthetician’s skill set and if you’re simply a curious learner looking to expand your skincare knowledge, our electrolysis courses are a great place to start.
