Rethink Electrolysis 

With a 120 year proven track record, Electrolysis recently became even more effective, and more comfortable than ever before — thanks to a new generation of epilators, the best of which is the Apilus Platinum.  In Central Texas, only IBC has the Apilus Platinum, and only IBC has an electrologist that is an Académie Apilus National Trainer.  No more bad reactions or extreme pain!   At last – virtually pain-free treatments which will permanently remove your unwanted hair using the latest high-tech computerized equipment.  No other hair removal procedure can match the results of our electrolysis treatments.  

FDA Approved

Electrolysis is the only FDA approved method to permanently remove hair.  The FDA identification in Code of Federal Regulations Title 21, Sec. 878.5350 for needle-type epilators is:  “A device intended to remove the hair by destroying the dermal papilla of a hair.”  Only electrologists are allowed to claim permanent hair removal in their advertising.  No other hair removal devices, including lasers, have been able to achieve this distinction.

Choose the Right Electrologist

Electrolysis is safe and effective when performed by an electrologist who is board certified.  It is important to find electrologists who are C.P.E. (Certified Professional Electrologist).  This means that they have passed a national exam and keep up with required continuing education to maintain the C.P.E. status.  IBC strictly adheres to the Infection Control Standards set forth by the American Electrology Association, and close attention is also given to other infection control measures, including hand washing, gloves, sterile/disposable probes and sterilization of instruments, to name a few.

Men and Electrolysis

Hair removal has received increased publicity since the introduction of the first hair removal laser.  It was not until all the laser hype a few years ago that men became interested in permanent hair removal.  Shaving an entire body several times per week can be a tiresome routine for a guy with excessive body hair.  Almost always, a man seeking professional hair removal services is interested in treating a large area.  Electrolysis is a permanent solution.  Learn more about Men and Electrolysis.
